I think that gets back to the idea of what we are telling Canadians. If our founding peoples are European, and somehow, magically, the aboriginal people have suddenly become in vogue again or recognized as having a history and a presence....
How can you look at somebody who came here in 1604, who was free, who facilitated the development of Canada by facilitating those trade connections between the aboriginal communities and the European communities, and somehow say that he doesn't count? Further, we aren't going to offer an essay contest or an art contest in his name. Yet we'll say that black history is important or that we're a multicultural country. How can you say on a global stage that it's global, but it's really European. I think that's another message that comes through.
We can go to the ministries. But it's a top-down approach. It's bottom up and top down. Bottom up has been very strong and has been working hard, with limited resources, for a long time. I think it requires that top-down approach also, where we say that we value this community, we recognize these contributions, and all Canadians need to know.
