There will come a time because it will be so many hours after, but for now I won't. But I will again continue to point out why these three segments, pieces of the motion, are important.
If I might, I'll just go back a bit. If you can bear with me, Chair, I think you'll be comfortable with why. Mr. Michael LeClair was kind enough to contact us through Mr. Scott's Facebook, and he was generous to invite us, and all the Islanders are friendly like that so I'm not surprised at all. He'd probably invite us over to his house to have a bite to eat and talk about things, and maybe even talk about election laws. You never know.
What is important, and I should have known, and I apologize to my fellow Canadians in Charlottetown, is that apparently this is the 150th anniversary of the Charlottetown Conference. I can't think of a better way to celebrate that than to have this committee arrive during the 150th celebration of the Charlottetown Conference—it laid the foundation for our nation—and to be there to talk about and hopefully improve our election laws.
There are a number of spots across Canada that can claim some ownership to part of our founding, but those of us who have been lucky enough to be in Charlottetown and to experience everything there is to see there historically, it is very moving. It's not very big. It's not small, but the importance to Canadians is monumental. In recognizing that significant accomplishment in Charlottetown and the conference 150 years ago, I would just like to go back to my point and add to it about how Charlottetown would be ideal. There may be some other places, too, across Canada that are celebrating certain aspects of Canadiana that would allow us to not only do good work, not only improve our elections law, not only listen to Canadians, but help support and celebrate the history of our great country.
There are so many things that could come, benefit-wise, from our actually making the decision to get out of the bubble here and listen to people.
I haven't had a chance yet to mention how cool it would be to go to Winnipeg. I love Winnipeg.
