I was pleased to be there. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3801867\" data-originallang=\"en\">I was especially pleased that the <a data-HoCid=\"194615\" href=\"/politicians/julian-fantino/\" title=\"Julian Fantino\">Minister of Veterans Affairs</a> attended and announced that our government will increase its funding from $120,000 to $240,000 to the Royal Canadian Legion for its veterans outreach and visitation initiative.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3801868\" data-originallang=\"en\">This money will increase the Legion's capacity to spend time with their veterans who are living in long-term care facilities. This increased support allows us to further enhance the care we provide veterans and further support the important work the Legion does every day.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3801869\" data-originallang=\"en\">Since being incorporated by a special act of Parliament in 1926, the Royal Canadian Legion has been a focal point for Canada's veterans to better the lives of their colleagues and to foster remembrance across Canada.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3801870\" data-originallang=\"en\">I would like to congratulate the Royal Canadian Legion on its successful convention, and extend our appreciation for its service in support of Canada's veterans and their families. I look forward to working together with them in the decades ahead. </p>",

J'ai h\u00e2te de collaborer avec la l\u00e9gion dans les d\u00e9cennies \u00e0 venir.</p>"
