I would hope there might be support for not necessarily standing committee meetings, but other opportunities for African Canadian heritage workers to gather to maybe share some of this information and possibly work out some of the material that you have outlined.
Of course, my own bias in terms of a location is clear. Given that Confederation was sort of determined, numbers of votes were cast and so forth, based on numbers of people, if we want to play with that particular template, then Toronto would be the place where such a centre for African Canadian history and culture might be erected. Certainly there have been some recent things that have happened, with the mayor outlining in the newspaper recently where a development has come about that will end up being mutually beneficial to the developer and to the city of Toronto. There might be some kind of special arrangement that could be created, not necessarily in the super tallest building that's about to be created in the city of Toronto—my own bias—but there might be some other opportunity.
The number of organizations that are working on African Canadian history are limited. The Black Cultural Centre is doing very well the way things are currently. They've just remodeled and revamped what they have. That came about through an interesting process, but it's sort of settled now. Maybe it is Toronto's turn to have the opportunity to have that kind of a structure. It's been pointed out by myself and by other people here that the black community is not a thing. It is many things. It is multicultural in and of itself. I think that having that space in that place, where it is so diverse, would make the most sense.
That can inform the rest of the country. Why is there a museum for civilization in Hull? Why do we have a museum for human rights out west? Decisions have been made, and I think that might be one decision that would be appropriate for Toronto.
