Official endorsement today from the Canadian Naval Air Group!

Mr. Michael J. Smith

CNAG Response to “Restore the Honour”!

Good afternoon Michael,

In-accordance-with your recent request to have the Canadian Naval Air Group, (CNAG) support the Senate proposal to reinstate the title “Royal Canadian Navy” (RCN), in place of the current Maritime Command, the answer is yes, you can include CNAG as an advocate of that quest.

However, I also feel it is imperative that you are aware that this was by no means a simple and/or unanimous decision. In fact, a significant number of our members were adamantly opposed to this decision. They sincerely believe that decisions of this nature, that will surely affect the currently serving members of the Canadian Forces, should be left to them and not the wishes of Veterans attempting to rekindle past memories.

As previously stated, NCVA has already come out in support of “RCN”, which technically meant that CNAG did as well, but now you have the whole story, including our official blessing, to utilize as you see fit.

Yours in Naval Air,

Paul Baiden MMM, OStJ, SC, CD
National Chairman
Canadian Naval Air Group
