Madam Speaker, there are over 1,350 Legion branches across Canada, including Whalley Legion Branch 229 in my hometown of Surrey. Their members represent one of the largest volunteer bases in this country. We set up the veteran organizations emergency support fund during the pandemic so that they could safely keep their doors open. We have been proud to support legions to improve infrastructure, make accessibility upgrades and deliver many New Horizons for Seniors projects.
I want to thank the member for highlighting the legions' impact in the community, and I hope members will join us in thanking legions for all they do to build a stronger Canada.
