I think it's a unique opportunity to celebrate the successes, the journeys, and the accomplishments. Whether it's the Acadians, the Quebecois or the aboriginal nations, we will be able to celebrate Canada's wealth and cultural diversity and take advantage of this 2017 celebration to make people aware of these little stories that people do not know about.
Today, for example, I spoke a little bit about the journey of the Acadians. It's a very important part of Canada's history. I think that, in the context of these celebrations, the events, the activities and the meetings will be a unique opportunity. For example, I'm dreaming of seeing educational exchanges between young people from Lethbridge and Shippagan, in New Brunswick, or between young people from Saskatoon and others from Gaspé. They would first get to know each other better and recognize the diversity that characterizes this country. This celebration could enable us to move past the boundaries we have put up between us and share the success stories. Sharing between the official language communities where this works well, it exists, but we need to be able to acknowledge it and celebrate it.
