That's an excellent question, and this is something I had written down for Mr. Trottier's question.
It is important to use 2017 to engage new Canadians, as our country is being enriched by an increased presence of new Canadians. How can we expose new Canadians to our history, our identity, through the celebration in 2017, especially in the capital? The capital is a place where we showcase Canadian history through what the NCC and other federal cultural institutions are doing. We should use the capital as a stage, as an outdoor museum in addition to what's inside our heritage preservation institutions, to celebrate and to showcase our identity.
Surveys have demonstrated that one of the things Canadians are looking for in 2017 is to learn about what we have accomplished, to learn about the greatest Canadian achievements. With new Canadians, this is an opportunity to make them aware of what we have done. I hope you had a chance to see our sun and light show, Mosaika, on Parliament Hill, which pays tribute to the role played by new Canadians throughout history.
