--making sure of the heritage that's ingrained. As I said, that's part of our DNA as Canadians, right from the beginning.
So you're very right: we're talking about some of the economic benefits, but they're secondary to the fact that this is a part of this country's valued heritage.
I can go further than that and say that it's even going to new Canadians. I share a great waterway in one of Canada's greatest parks, the Trent-Severn Waterway. If you come into the village of Hastings or go along Rice Lake, you'll find many new Canadians with their families, sitting at picnic tables, catching fish, enjoying a Saturday or a Sunday afternoon escaping from downtown Toronto and those other built-up areas. That's not only part of our heritage; it's something that even new Canadians will share.
