Veterans Affairs committee  No, I don't.

Veterans Affairs committee  Sure. I left a bunch of business cards there, so there you go.

Veterans Affairs committee  We would not be able to take care of those graves. I would probably sacrifice the maintenance versus the continuation of the checking on the status to make sure they're still there. So it would affect our ability to maintain those veterans' graves.

Veterans Affairs committee  Absolutely. Perhaps I can separate them first, though. We have no mandate for the War of 1812; it's outside our charter. But we are using the period 2014-2018 as an outreach and educational focus for our commemorative activities during that period. Incidentally, of course, within

Veterans Affairs committee  I am not an expert on that by any means, but the term our lawyers use is “tax relief”. So they get some kind of tax relief in the U.K. when contributing money to the commission. We're often approached by Canadians who might want to do the same thing, and we don't have the same

Veterans Affairs committee  It will not be affected to the extent that...to what I spoke about earlier. We're talking flatline requests plus inflation plus exchange rates. That is all we are asking for. In fact, our new CEO came over; we met with the deputy minister about three weeks ago. She certainly in

Veterans Affairs committee  None.

Veterans Affairs committee  No, I'm sorry, I misspoke. We have received no indication that we will be affected. As I say, we just came back from the deputy minister. We're going through the screening process of funding now. We expect the budget that we submit to the participating governments to be approve

Veterans Affairs committee  My short answer for the first part is that I don't know. In the past, we've had years when one particular government maybe was not quite ready to ante up, and there was a lot of back and forth and everything else. Eventually we'd come to an agreement as to what was feasible from

Veterans Affairs committee  It is. Again just to clarify, cyclical inspections are how we do our job. We have these war graves in all these different cemeteries all over the place. We have a simple matrix set up to make sure that every five or six years we go around and make sure they're okay. Veterans Aff

Veterans Affairs committee  No, we do not.

Veterans Affairs committee  I very briefly glossed over the statistics. I talked about the 1.7 million Commonwealth war dead from the two world wars, for which we are responsible. Fully 700,000 of that 1.7 million are named on memorials. That means their actual grave was never found or it is deemed to be

Veterans Affairs committee  Well, I think the greatest challenge is really time and space. We have 1,200 employees worldwide. We work in 150 countries. In any given time, there are some places you can't go to. I've just come back from a couple of years in the United Kingdom, where I was called another great

Veterans Affairs committee  Oh, absolutely.

Veterans Affairs committee  Well, the financial assistance comes from grants from the participating governments. But we also are left, quite frankly, legacies from people from time to time, especially in the U.K., where there is a charitable status for donations to the commission. But as for the countries
