The rarest of all signify battlefield valour.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1875639\" data-originallang=\"en\">The importance of our military heritage was front and centre just recently on April 9, Vimy Ridge Day, when the government honoured all of Canada's World War I servicemen and women and paid tribute to their achievements and contributions. Ceremonies of remembrance were held across Canada and at the Canadian National Vimy Memorial in France and the Canada Memorial at Green Park in London. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1875640\" data-originallang=\"en\">The national commemorative ceremony at the National War Memorial, a symbol of the sacrifices of all Canadians who have served Canada in times of war in the cause of peace and freedom, was especially poignant following the death in February of Canada's last known first world war veteran, John Babcock.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1875641\" data-originallang=\"en\">The efforts and sacrifices of Canada's armed forces throughout our history must not be forgotten. As part of our country's heritage, they must be honoured and protected. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1875642\" data-originallang=\"en\">Through Bill <a data-HoCid=\"4328641\" href=\"/bills/40-3/C-473/\" title=\"An Act to protect insignia of military orders and military decorations and medals that are of cultural significance for future generations\">C-473</a>, the member for <a data-HoCid=\"128212\" href=\"/politicians/gary-schellenberger/\" title=\"Gary Schellenberger\">Perth\u2014Wellington</a> proposes to fill a gap in the protection of our military heritage, a gap that affects modern military insignia. Let me explain what I mean by that. Important medals and other decorations that are more than 50 years old are already protected under the Cultural Property Export and Import Act. We have measures in place to keep objects of outstanding significance and national importance in the country. The act includes, among other elements, a system of cultural property export control, which requires export permits for a range of cultural property. These measures protect the nation's heritage, while respecting the rights of private citizens to dispose of their own property.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1875643\" data-originallang=\"en\">Under the existing act, important medals that are more than 50 years old require a permit to leave Canada. Permanent export may be delayed if the medal is determined to be of outstanding significance and of national importance. If an object for which a permit is sought is deemed to be of outstanding significance and national importance, the permit is refused. That refusal may be appealed to the Canadian Cultural Property Export Review Board.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1875644\" data-originallang=\"en\">On appeal, the board may create a delay period of up to six months to allow Canadian cultural institutions the opportunity to purchase the object in question so that it may remain in Canada. A system of special tax incentives also exists to provide further encouragement for owners to donate or sell cultural property to Canadian institutions. Those who do not comply with the Cultural Property Export and Import Act can be prosecuted and are subject to fines or imprisonment.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1875645\" data-originallang=\"en\">However, what protection is there for modern Canadian insignia? We know that serving members of Canadian armed forces are prohibited under the code of service discipline of the National Defence Act from selling their medals and decorations. Military regulations also govern the disposition of medals when a serving member dies. These measures are important and should be respected. However, recent military honours, unlike historic medals, orders and decorations, are not controlled for export. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1875646\" data-originallang=\"en\">The member for <a data-HoCid=\"128212\" href=\"/politicians/gary-schellenberger/\" title=\"Gary Schellenberger\">Perth\u2014Wellington</a> has indicated that his objective with Bill <a data-HoCid=\"4328641\" href=\"/bills/40-3/C-473/\" title=\"An Act to protect insignia of military orders and military decorations and medals that are of cultural significance for future generations\">C-473</a> is to keep important military medals, orders and decorations in Canada. Export control is clearly a matter over which the federal government has jurisdiction and experience. Important medals and other decorations that are more than 50 years old are already controlled for export under the Cultural Property Export and Import Act.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1875647\" data-originallang=\"en\">If it is the will of the House to refer Bill <a data-HoCid=\"4328641\" href=\"/bills/40-3/C-473/\" title=\"An Act to protect insignia of military orders and military decorations and medals that are of cultural significance for future generations\">C-473</a> to committee for review, I trust there will be an opportunity to study more fully how to ensure this proposed new legislation can work seamlessly with the Cultural Property Export and Import Act to protect our military heritage. I want to commend my colleague from <a data-HoCid=\"128212\" href=\"/politicians/gary-schellenberger/\" title=\"Gary Schellenberger\">Perth\u2014Wellington</a> for striking a balance in presenting this bill, between the need to protect our military heritage and the need to respect the rights of individual owners of military insignia.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1875648\" data-originallang=\"en\">Military insignia hold significant meaning to veterans and their heirs. Bill <a data-HoCid=\"4328641\" href=\"/bills/40-3/C-473/\" title=\"An Act to protect insignia of military orders and military decorations and medals that are of cultural significance for future generations\">C-473</a> proposes to exempt near relatives of the owner of the insignia from the provisions of the bill. Under Bill <a data-HoCid=\"4328641\" href=\"/bills/40-3/C-473/\" title=\"An Act to protect insignia of military orders and military decorations and medals that are of cultural significance for future generations\">C-473</a>, families can continue to care for the valued personal legacy of their veterans, their military insignia, and ensure they will be passed down from generation to generation.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1875649\" data-originallang=\"en\">In the first hour of debate on Bill <a data-HoCid=\"4328641\" href=\"/bills/40-3/C-473/\" title=\"An Act to protect insignia of military orders and military decorations and medals that are of cultural significance for future generations\">C-473</a>, my colleague from <a data-HoCid=\"128145\" href=\"/politicians/guy-andre/\" title=\"Guy Andr\u00e9\">Berthier\u2014Maskinong\u00e9</a> noted that spouses do not seem to be included in the definition of the relative. I trust there will be an opportunity to study this matter further in committee. I also acknowledge and appreciate my colleague from <a data-HoCid=\"128569\" href=\"/politicians/peter-stoffer/\" title=\"Peter Stoffer\">Sackville\u2014Eastern Shore</a> and the passion for this issue that he brings to this debate. In his comments, he described the positive experiences of several communities in his area to preserve their military heritage.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1875650\" data-originallang=\"en\">Many military insignia are donated to local museums as well as to the Canadian War Museum and Canadian Forces museums across the country. Bill <a data-HoCid=\"4328641\" href=\"/bills/40-3/C-473/\" title=\"An Act to protect insignia of military orders and military decorations and medals that are of cultural significance for future generations\">C-473</a> would not restrict donations to Canadian museums. Owners would still be able to donate military insignia to the Canadian museum of their choice. That is an important protection of their rights.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1875651\" data-originallang=\"en\">Most public museums in Canada are also registered charities. As a registered charity, a museum can issue donation receipts for the value of gifts in kind, such as artifacts or specimens. Additional tax benefits may also be available if the gift is certified as being of cultural importance and national significance by the Canadian Cultural Property Export Review Board.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1875652\" data-originallang=\"en\">The government has recognized the need to protect our military heritage through the establishment of museums, including the Canadian Museum of Civilization, the Canadian War Museum and the Canadian Forces museums across the country. The Canadian Museum of Civilization and the Canadian War Museum have more than 1,000 medals, including at least 28 Victoria Crosses, Canada's highest military honour. The network of Canadian Forces museums tells the story of regiments across the country. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1875653\" data-originallang=\"en\">Bill <a data-HoCid=\"4328641\" href=\"/bills/40-3/C-473/\" title=\"An Act to protect insignia of military orders and military decorations and medals that are of cultural significance for future generations\">C-473</a> proposes that federal museums should be given the opportunity to purchase modern military insignia if the owners do not wish to donate them to a public museum or wish to transfer the insignia to a near relative or heir or a resident of Canada. I would hope that Canadian Forces museums would also be able to benefit from Bill <a data-HoCid=\"4328641\" href=\"/bills/40-3/C-473/\" title=\"An Act to protect insignia of military orders and military decorations and medals that are of cultural significance for future generations\">C-473</a> to continue their profound tradition of protecting our military heritage.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1875654\" data-originallang=\"en\">In conclusion, I am pleased to support Bill <a data-HoCid=\"4328641\" href=\"/bills/40-3/C-473/\" title=\"An Act to protect insignia of military orders and military decorations and medals that are of cultural significance for future generations\">C-473</a> and its efforts to protect our modern military insignia, modern insignia that recognize the contribution of the women and men who still today go to troubled spots around the world. I look forward to further study of the proposed bill in committee.</p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"1875635\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, je prends aujourd'hui la parole pour appuyer le projet de loi <a data-HoCid=\"4328641\" href=\"/bills/40-3/C-473/\" title=\"An Act to protect insignia of military orders and military decorations and medals that are of cultural significance for future generations\">C-473</a>, qui porte sur la protection des m\u00e9dailles militaires, des insignes, des ordres et des d\u00e9corations d\u00e9cern\u00e9s aux Canadiens.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1875636\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je tiens d'abord \u00e0 remercier le d\u00e9put\u00e9 de <a data-HoCid=\"128212\" href=\"/politicians/gary-schellenberger/\" title=\"Gary Schellenberger\">Perth\u2014Wellington</a> pour tout ce qu'il fait pour prot\u00e9ger le patrimoine militaire du Canada et pour avoir saisi le Parlement de cette question.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1875637\" data-originallang=\"en\">Le projet de loi <a data-HoCid=\"4328641\" href=\"/bills/40-3/C-473/\" title=\"An Act to protect insignia of military orders and military decorations and medals that are of cultural significance for future generations\">C-473</a> nous donne l'occasion de r\u00e9fl\u00e9chir \u00e0 l'importance capitale que rev\u00eat le patrimoine militaire du Canada et \u00e0 la mani\u00e8re on ne peut plus significative dont il contribue au d\u00e9veloppement du pays.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1875638\" data-originallang=\"en\">Les insignes militaires r\u00e9compensent un grand nombre de r\u00e9alisations, les plus courantes \u00e9tant \u00e9videmment le long service ou les services distingu\u00e9s. Mais d'autres visent \u00e0 souligner la participation d'un militaire \u00e0 une guerre, une campagne ou une mission de maintien de la paix. La plus rare d'entre elles r\u00e9compense la bravoure sur le champ de bataille.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1875639\" data-originallang=\"en\">L'importance de notre patrimoine militaire a \u00e9t\u00e9 mis en \u00e9vidence encore r\u00e9cemment, le 9 avril plus exactement, soit le Jour de la bataille de Vimy. Le gouvernement a alors rendu hommage \u00e0 tous les Canadiens et Canadiennes qui ont servi pendant la Premi\u00e8re Guerre mondiale et insist\u00e9 sur leurs r\u00e9alisations et leurs contributions. Des c\u00e9r\u00e9monies ont eu lieu un peu partout au Canada ainsi qu'au Monument comm\u00e9moratif du Canada \u00e0 Vimy, en France, et au Monument du Canada situ\u00e9 dans le Green Park de Londres.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1875640\" data-originallang=\"en\">La c\u00e9r\u00e9monie comm\u00e9morative nationale qui a eu lieu au Monument comm\u00e9moratif de guerre, symbole des sacrifices faits par l'ensemble des Canadiens qui ont servi leur pays en temps de guerre et d\u00e9fendu ce faisant la paix et la libert\u00e9, \u00e9tait particuli\u00e8rement poignante, puisque c'est en f\u00e9vrier dernier qu'est d\u00e9c\u00e9d\u00e9 le dernier ancien combattant connu de la Premi\u00e8re Guerre mondiale, John Babcock.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1875641\" data-originallang=\"en\">Les efforts et les sacrifices consentis par les forces arm\u00e9es du Canada tout au long de notre histoire ne doivent jamais \u00eatre oubli\u00e9s et doivent \u00eatre honor\u00e9s comme partie int\u00e9grante du patrimoine de notre pays. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1875642\" data-originallang=\"en\">Par le projet de loi <a data-HoCid=\"4328641\" href=\"/bills/40-3/C-473/\" title=\"An Act to protect insignia of military orders and military decorations and medals that are of cultural significance for future generations\">C-473</a>, le d\u00e9put\u00e9 de <a data-HoCid=\"128212\" href=\"/politicians/gary-schellenberger/\" title=\"Gary Schellenberger\">Perth\u2014Wellington</a> propose de combler un vide mena\u00e7ant la protection de notre patrimoine militaire, et plus particuli\u00e8rement de nos insignes militaires. Je m'explique. Les m\u00e9dailles et autres d\u00e9corations d'importance qui ont \u00e9t\u00e9 attribu\u00e9es il y a plus de 50 ans sont d\u00e9j\u00e0 prot\u00e9g\u00e9es par la Loi sur l'exportation et l'importation de biens culturels. Nous nous sommes dot\u00e9s de mesures afin que les objets d'une grande signification et d'une importance nationale ne quittent pas le pays. La loi comporte entre autres un syst\u00e8me de contr\u00f4le de l'exportation des biens culturels qui rend obligatoire un permis d'exportation pour toute une gamme de biens culturels. Ces mesures nous permettent de prot\u00e9ger notre h\u00e9ritage national, tout en respectant le droit qu'ont les citoyens de disposer de ce qui leur appartient comme bon leur semble.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1875643\" data-originallang=\"en\">Dans sa forme actuelle, la loi pr\u00e9voit qu'un permis doit \u00eatre d\u00e9livr\u00e9 pour que les m\u00e9dailles d'importance attribu\u00e9es il y a plus de 50 ans puissent sortir du pays. Leur exportation d\u00e9finitive peut \u00eatre retard\u00e9e si les m\u00e9dailles en question sont jug\u00e9es d'une grande signification et d'une importance nationale. Ainsi, si un objet pour lequel un permis est demand\u00e9 est jug\u00e9 d'une grande signification et d'une importance nationale, le permis est refus\u00e9. Les appels doivent \u00eatre faits devant la Commission canadienne d'examen des exportations de biens culturels.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1875644\" data-originallang=\"en\">Apr\u00e8s qu'un appel ait \u00e9t\u00e9 interjet\u00e9, la commission peut alors prescrire une p\u00e9riode d'attente pouvant aller jusqu'\u00e0 six mois afin de donner \u00e0 des institutions culturelles canadiennes la chance d'acheter l'objet en question afin qu'il puisse rester au Canada. Il existe \u00e9galement des incitatifs fiscaux sp\u00e9ciaux visant \u00e0 encourager les propri\u00e9taires \u00e0 faire don de leurs biens culturels \u00e0 des institutions canadiennes. Les contrevenants \u00e0 la Loi sur l'exportation et l'importation de biens culturels peuvent \u00eatre poursuivis en justice et sont passibles d'une amende ou d'une peine de prison.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1875645\" data-originallang=\"en\">De quelle protection b\u00e9n\u00e9ficient les insignes canadiens modernes? Nous savons que le Code de discipline militaire qui figure dans la Loi sur la d\u00e9fense nationale interdit aux membres actifs des Forces arm\u00e9es canadiennes de vendre leurs m\u00e9dailles et d\u00e9corations. Il existe \u00e9galement des r\u00e8glements militaires relatifs au sort r\u00e9serv\u00e9 aux m\u00e9dailles \u00e0 la suite du d\u00e9c\u00e8s d'un membre actif. Ces mesures sont importantes et devraient \u00eatre respect\u00e9es. Cependant, rien n'est pr\u00e9vu pour contr\u00f4ler l'exportation des r\u00e9cents insignes militaires, contrairement aux m\u00e9dailles, ordres et d\u00e9corations historiques.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1875646\" data-originallang=\"en\">Le d\u00e9put\u00e9 de <a data-HoCid=\"128212\" href=\"/politicians/gary-schellenberger/\" title=\"Gary Schellenberger\">Perth\u2014Wellington</a> a dit que l'objectif du projet de loi <a data-HoCid=\"4328641\" href=\"/bills/40-3/C-473/\" title=\"An Act to protect insignia of military orders and military decorations and medals that are of cultural significance for future generations\">C-473</a> est de garder les m\u00e9dailles, ordres et d\u00e9corations importants au Canada. Le contr\u00f4le \u00e0 l'exportation rel\u00e8ve clairement du domaine de comp\u00e9tence du gouvernement f\u00e9d\u00e9ral, qui a une certaine exp\u00e9rience en la mati\u00e8re. Des m\u00e9dailles et autres d\u00e9corations importantes de plus de 50 ans font d\u00e9j\u00e0 l'objet d'un contr\u00f4le \u00e0 l'exportation en vertu de la Loi sur l'exportation et l'importation de biens culturels.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1875647\" data-originallang=\"en\">Si la Chambre est dispos\u00e9e \u00e0 renvoyer le projet de loi <a data-HoCid=\"4328641\" href=\"/bills/40-3/C-473/\" title=\"An Act to protect insignia of military orders and military decorations and medals that are of cultural significance for future generations\">C-473</a> au comit\u00e9 aux fins d'examen, je suis s\u00fbr que nous aurons l'occasion de nous pencher de plus pr\u00e8s sur les moyens de veiller \u00e0 l'int\u00e9gration harmonieuse de la nouvelle loi avec la Loi sur l'exportation et l'importation de biens culturels afin de prot\u00e9ger notre patrimoine militaire.
