Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I thank the two witnesses. You have been going at it for a couple of hours now. I appreciate that. I'll ask you a couple of questions and that's it.
Ms. Sadlier, I want to know how we can bring organizations such as yours, from across Canada, together. Is there cooperation between them? Are there resources we can put forward in the lead-up to 2017 to do some of the things you're talking about, working not in isolation but perhaps together?
You also said in your remarks that African Canadians are unique due to the loss of culture. I'm wondering how, in the context of 150 and in the lead-up to 150, we can reverse that in communities themselves, and not just for a museum.
When you talk about museums.... I'm from the Italian community. We can't agree on where our museum should be. We can't agree on what should be in the museum. We can't agree on anything. It has become more a divisive thing than a unifying thing. Different parts of the community will no longer talk to each other. They have become complete enemies over what was supposed to be a unifying thing.
In the context of Canada's 150th, how do we avoid that?
