Madam Speaker, as someone who has served in the Canadian Forces, I have the opportunity, as does the member, to share my experiences on the important issue of our veterans. I have taken advantage of that by speaking for my 10 minutes on that, as have other members prior to me. I made a very clear indication that I believe all members of the House of Commons are supportive of our veterans.
I have also, through the question, made a recommendation as to what we can do to encourage and promote the ongoing recognition of what our veterans have done.
I am passionate on the issue because I have walked and talked with veterans. I understand, at least in part, some of the horrors they have had to go through. I want to see that recognition. Yes, I am passionate on the issue, but I can tell members that it is because of the memories I have of my marches with World War II and other veterans.
