Good morning.
Thanks to all of you for joining us.
I try to learn something new every day and I learned something new today: I didn't know the Lachine Canal was part of the Trans Canada Trail. Part of it runs though my riding, so I am very excited.
My first question is for Mr. Dinsdale.
You've touched on some very hard facts about conditions today. With that in mind, I'm just wondering.... We've heard a lot of previous testimony about reconciliation and about connecting with that history and connecting with that present, but in a way that moves us forward as opposed to pointing fingers and saying “this happened”. With that in mind, for the 150th anniversary, what do you think the reach-out to the first nations and aboriginal community in general in Canada would be? It's a hard question.
