Canadian Heritage committee  When it happened in Ontario, Mr. Boushy didn't tell me that the premier had spoken to him. He told me about six months after the election. I said, “Why didn't you tell me that? I would have gone to the press and asked why Mr. Harris was interfering with this. He's not on the co

Canadian Heritage committee  You've mentioned the Legion.

Therefore, I can support this. I think it's a good thing because the veterans deserve the highest respect we ca

Canadian Heritage committee  My name is Wilma McNeill, and I have fought a battle for 25 years to get the politicians in Ontario and Quebec to unite and honour our veterans for the sacrifice they made so we can live in a free democracy. Shouldn't the whole of Canada be in unison when it comes to honouring ou
