“Today is Air Force Day on Parliament Hill. I want to thank everyone who serves, and who has served, in the Royal Canadian Air Force.”
Official Hansard

Mr. Speaker, I went to Moose Jaw the way a lot of people do, through the Royal Canadian Air Force, and I decided to plant my roots and build my life in that community. The men and women I served alongside understood something fundamental: Discipline, sacrifice and excellence are not words on a page, but daily choices. Today, we welcome the Royal Canadian Air Force to Parliament Hill for Air Force Day on the Hill. I think of the instructors, technicians, aircrews, medics and support personnel at 15 Wing who keep our proud nation alive. NATO allies have sent their pilots there because Canada’s training standard is considered the best in the world. Our air force is one of Canada’s most vital national institutions, and the people who serve in it are among the best this country has to offer. To everyone serving, past and present, we see them and we are grateful. Per ardua ad astra.
