Lauzon Presents Bill
to Reintroduce
Executive Curl to
Navy Uniform
Ottawa March 5, 2010
- OTTAWA - Today,
Guy Lauzon, MP for
Stormont-Dundas-South
Glengarry,
introduced and spoke
to his Private
Members
Motion in the House
of Commons to
reintroduce the Navy
Executive Curl to
the
maritime command
uniforms of the
Canadian Forces.
This motion comes as
the
Navy is preparing to
celebrate its 100th
anniversary.
"The loss of the
executive curl on
navy uniforms was a
huge hit to morale
back in the 1960s.
This is one of the
reasons why I want
to give back part
of the navy's pride
and traditions which
were lost with
amalgamation in
1968", said MP
Lauzon.
"Today, Canada's
navy is the only
blue-water force in
the world that does
not incorporate some
form of executive
curl, national
emblem, or a
nautical
icon", Lauzon
continued.
"I hope that this
motion will gain
support from all
parties in the
House,"
he concluded. "To
some people, this
motion seems very
simple and
unimportant. But to
many historians,
military
enthusiasts, and our
veterans,
it is just a small
token to show our
respect and
appreciation."
