Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, Mrs. Crombie.
There are just a couple of points that you brought up earlier. In your opening statement, Mr. Farrant, I'm glad to see that you included the non-aboriginal settlers who first came here. You mentioned John Cabot--Giovanni Caboto--but before that, the aboriginal component was very important, because the now extinct Beothuk Indians in Newfoundland and Labrador were actually some of the greatest hunters known in history. So I support the friendly amendment that I hope will succeed through the preamble on that one; I commend the mover of this, as it is long overdue.
When you talk about establishing heritage days for several issues, as I've seen thus far in my six-and-a-half years here, we don't see a lot behind them when it comes to promotion, for whatever reason. With private members' bills you can't spend money, and there's no money tagged to this. We went through this with lighthouses and that sort of thing, and I understand that.
How do you envision the government departments taking this third Saturday in September and promoting it as something that is part of our heritage, our DNA, as the mover mentions, and which I agree with?
