Mr. PEARKES:

May I ask whether those permanent force soldiers who have done more than nineteen years' service and who hope to get a pension for twenty years of service, and have now received notice that their service will terminate on the thirty-first day of March, today, can also receive the thanks of the minister for the services that they have

given, and also receive the consideration which the minister is giving to assist these old soldiers of the veterans guard?

Mr. M. J. COLD WELL (Rosetown-Biggar):

Mr. Speaker, I think that all members of the house would like to associate themselves with the thanks expressed by the minister to the men of the Veterans Guard of Canada who have served their country so well. May I say that I should also like to associate myself with the remarks of the hon. member for Nanaimo (Mr. Pearkes) and to express the hope that this country will do more for these old soldiers than merely to give them a vote of thanks.
