Mr. Speaker, our country is an example of democracy, prosperity and freedom on the world stage. That sacrifice that has been made to secure those values was recognized this weekend in London. HMCS Prevost, an honoured naval detachment, recognized the fallen in the Battle of the Atlantic, the longest continuous battle of World War II. Over 70,000 people died on the Allied side, including over 4,000 Canadians. They died trying to secure shipping lanes vital to the Allied effort, which secured the delivery of food, equipment, oil and other vital needs. Without this battle and its success, the Allied effort would not have been successful. As I say, HMCS Prevost plays a vital role in our community. It is an example of a naval detachment that cares and that gives back. I especially want to congratulate the young members of this organization. It is an example of patriotism. It is an example of service to our country.
