Asks the Minister of Veterans Affairs to add the dates 1990–1991 to the National War Memorial in Ottawa and rededicate the memorial to include Canada's Persian Gulf War service.

Approximately 4,500 Canadian Armed Forces members served in the 1990–1991 Persian Gulf War under Operation FRICTION, marking Canada’s first offensive military action since the Korean War and a milestone for women in combat roles;

The Standing Committee on Veterans Affairs reconfirmed in 2025 that the Persian Gulf War was a war, acknowledging that while no CAF members died in active combat, veterans suffered lasting injuries and subsequent service-attributable deaths;

Despite parliamentary recognition, the dates 1990–1991 remain missing from the National War Memorial.
