I think it is a wonderful thing to see these awards being given away at this pace — these awards are a sign of great achievement, and I have a great respect for anyone who has exhibited such a nature of caring, co-operation and service to this nation so as to deserve this most prestigious award. Thank you, Canadians, for continuing to demonstrate why this is one of the best places on Earth to live.
