Mr. Speaker, I thank the member for his service.
I remain committed to ensuring that all those who have served and continue to serve are honoured meaningfully and respectfully. Proposed changes for the wreaths for parliamentarians program were made with the understanding that MPs would work directly with the Royal Canadian Legion, with proceeds supporting their local branches.
I am learning the changes could be significantly disruptive to Remembrance Day. I have instructed my department to revert to the previous format for this year.
This Veterans' Week, I encourage all Canadians to support their local legions and support the work our veterans have done for this country.
