Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the service of the men and women who fought for our great country in order that we may live in peace. Mr. Speaker, on the occasion of Remembrance Day tomorrow, I feel very strongly that we need to recognize these individuals for the sacrifices they made for us.
Mr. Speaker, I will be travelling home to Hay River later today and I will be laying a wreath at the Remembrance Day Service at the Royal Canadian Legion in Hay River. Mr. Speaker, in Hay River, we have a number of veterans who served in war time that I feel strongly deserve our recognition. These are, Mr. Speaker: Frank Hirst, Ken Hunt, Ross Ullathorne, Steve Kovatch, Mansel Grey, Art DeChief, Bernie Campbell, Harry Dobbs, Don Ducharme, Burt Stevenson, Bob McMeekin, Jerry Eyford and Lawrence Clark.
Mr. Speaker, we owe these men, and the thousands of other veterans like them, a debt of gratitude for their selflessness and
commitment in order that we may enjoy the freedom that we have today. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
