This week Canadians come together to honour a group of men and women who unite us as few things can: Our Veterans – the generations of brave Canadians who have always been there to serve our great country in both times of war and in times of peace. Millions of Canadians will participate in the various Veterans’ Week events because they proudly understand the great debt we owe our Veterans and their families.
 
As your local Member of Parliament and the grandson of a Decorated Veteran, I am very proud and know firsthand the impact our Veterans have had, and continue to have on our great Country. This government acknowledges their contributions and is establishing a record in repaying that debt.
 
I encourage all Canadians to take the time to remember our nation’s truest heroes—past and present. Lest we forget.
