This Remembrance Day comes just a couple weeks after
the incident at CFB Wainwright.
Four people died, 39 others were injured.
What are you thinking about and reflecting on today?
Actually, Remembrance Days are exactly for that purpose,
it's to take a step back and reflect
on sacrifices from past veterans and CAF members.
But of course this year,
in the aftermath of the Wainwright tragedy, it's a reminder
of what service might mean.
The immense sacrifice that our CAF members
do along with their families.
What can you share about those military members
who are still in hospital in critical condition,
how they're doing, your message to them?
We want to make sure that they are well supported
and I cannot be more grateful for the health services in Alberta,
British Columbia and Ontario.
We've had tremendous support from Canadians
across Canada, so could not be more grateful for all the support and
Canadians mobilizing
behind our CAF members. There was 28
million dollars in the budget last week
to help support these members, their families,
their communities in light of what happened at CFB.
Wainwright, what needs to happen?
So we're going to make sure that those funds
are used to support families and CAF members. So
we are at work right now in ensuring that we make
those investments work for the support of our
members. And you promised there would be a board
of inquiry into what happened. When will that start?
So the board is being put together,
so we are hard at work in doing this.
We want to make sure that we are well set to do the work appropriately.
