The poll, done for the Dominion Institute and being released today to coincide with Remembrance Day, indicates that even Quebecers like the idea.

"The offer of a state funeral would be symbolic," said Rudyard Griffiths, executive director of the institute.

"Not only is it commemorating the passing of the last living link to Canada's struggle in the mud and blood of Flanders Field, but it is also honouring and showing maximum respect for all of those that served."

Griffiths said he was especially pleased to see the level of support in Quebec, given Quebecers are often less supportive when it comes to issues of Canada's military heritage.
