Yesterday, June 2 was Canadian Forces Day. In 2002, I introduced a motion that passed unanimously in the House of Commons, to designate the first Sunday in June Canadian Forces Day. I hope that all of Canada took a few moments to reflect upon the tremendous contribution the Canadian Forces make to our country on the day that the Government of Canada has, like many other countries, set aside to recognize and thank service members who contribute to our safety and security. Whether in the defence of Canada through disaster assistance, the defence of North America through NORAD and cooperation with the US or contributions to international peace and security through NATO or through our UN peacekeeping and peace enforcement operations, the Canadian Forces make a difference in lives every day. –The Honourable David Pratt
