Law to Create a Medal for Defending Canada During the Cold War
Cold War Defence Medal Law
This proposed law wants to create a new medal. It would be called the Defence of Canada Medal. This medal would be given to people who helped protect Canada. The time period is from 1946 to 1989. This proposed law affects anyone who served to defend Canada during the Cold War. This includes members of the military, coast guard, and possibly other groups. If the proposed law passes, these people could be recognized for their service with this medal. This proposed law matters because it would formally recognize the contributions of people who defended Canada during a tense time in history. It shows that their service is valued and remembered. It also gives them a tangible symbol of their dedication.
Where this proposed law falls on the policy spectrums that Canadians care about
Creating a medal involves some government spending, but it's likely a relatively small amount.
The bill supports and recognizes those who served in the defence of Canada, which aligns with a stronger national defence posture.
This bill has not yet been published on the government website.
