Mr. James Moore (Port
Moody—Westwood-Port Coquitlam, CPC):
Mr. Speaker, throughout Canadian history,
Canadians have been on the front lines fighting
for freedom and democracy. The sacrifices and
bravery shown by Canadians is legendary, and we
will never forget or take for granted the gift
of liberty that they have given to us. Far too
many have given the greatest gift of all, the
gift of an unfinished life.
Remembrance Week is very important to this
country. It is when we take a moment to honour
those Canadians who have served and who are
currently serving in the name of freedom, peace
and democracy throughout the world. Fifty-nine
of my constituents are currently serving Canada
abroad, and I am very proud of their service, as
are all members of the House.
As
the annual parade passes by, we see the stalwart veterans marching
straight and dignified.
We
will never forget.
