I think it's two things. It's about looking back, and it's also about looking forward. We should use 2017 as a pivot point to look in both directions at the same time. I take your point that young Canadians probably don't know enough about the history of the country.
Because of constitutional concerns, it's not in the federal government's remit to be able to change history instruction at the provincial level. Governments at all levels since the sixties have gotten out of the public learning business. It's not just in our schools, of course, that states seek to educate their citizens. I've already pointed to Expo as one instance where there was a large pedagogic program at work. Even funny things like Ontario Place, which opened in the seventies, wasn't built as a music venue and a water slide. It was built as a place to celebrate advances in Ontario's society, so that you could go and see new technologies and learn more about the province.
A big conversation needs to happen amongst all of the obvious groups, whether it's the librarians, the educators, or the Canadian Museums Association. We need to bring them together and challenge them to make it a priority for Canadians to know more about their country. It's a priority for us that Canadians are thinking ahead. Tell us what you have. What would be the most creative, persuasive, compelling opportunities, if we were given five years to make a real go at this thing? I don't think there would be any shortage of ideas. There certainly wasn't when we brought people together at the National Arts Centre.
