Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I too would like to say a few words in honour of Remembrance Day tomorrow. Like many in Yellowknife tomorrow, I will take part in the Remembrance Day services, marching from the Legion to the cenotaph and then on to St. Pat's. Mr. Speaker, it is important to remember the sacrifices that many have made to protect our freedoms and to mark Remembrance Day as the time to do that.
My father was a World War II vet and he was one of the lucky ones. He came back and he did not bear any significant scars from the war. I have talked to him and to other veterans about the horrors of war and, even hearing from those people, I know it is hard for me to comprehend what they have gone through.
We need to not only mark Remembrance Day to pause and reflect, but we also need to take this opportunity to remember that we must teach our children about the honour, respect and sacrifices made by so many. We must not only honour those who fought on our behalf but we must do our best to stop it from ever happening again. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
