Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I believe I speak for all of my colleagues in sincerely thanking our volunteer firefighters for the sacrifices they make so that we may be safe. I also believe that we as legislators should reward our volunteer firefighters with tangible forms of recognition.
Would the Minister please advise this House if he would be willing to institute a recognition program for volunteer firefighters whereby they would receive a medal for every increment of dedicated service they complete? For example, a five-year medal, ten-year medal, et cetera. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
