There is no question of the immense historical significance of the D-Day landing sites, and certainly of Juno Beach, the 10-kilometre stretch of shore along the Normandy coast where the Canadians landed on June 6, 1944, and where so many Canadians made the ultimate sacrifice in the defence of France. [...] The Government of Canada remains committed to the Juno Beach Centre and the vitally important work they do to remember the contributions Canadians made to liberate Europe during the Second World War. [...] Furthermore, in May, the Prime Minister spoke with the President of France, Emmanuel Macron, and discussed the significance of Juno Beach to the people of both nations. [...] While the disagreement between the Juno Beach Centre and the real estate developer is a private matter currently in mediation, I will continue to work closely with the Juno Beach Centre and the Canadian Embassy in Paris to encourage the French government to assist in this situation. [...] As the most important monument and museum outside of Canada dedicated to Canadians who served during the Second World War, the Juno Beach Centre is a beacon proudly highlighting their sacrifices and achievements, and our Government will act to ensure that the integrity and solemnity of the Juno Beach landing site are respected for generations to come.
