Mme. Payette:

When you grow up in a country that is open and tolerant like Canada, you have no idea what war is like. You have no idea what it is like to live under siege.

We don't know what it is, the horrors, the suffering, the sacrifice from every corner of Canada they came. They crossed the pond. The ocean to go and fight for the ideal of peace and freedom.

Thank you from the bottom of the heart of the country for what you have done for Canada, and what you still do. Thank you all.
