That is somewhat the idea we suggested today in connection with a book. First of all, we realize that history is being taught less and less. I read the comments by committee members on this point. And we are teaching a history that is often viewed from a single perspective. For us, it is important that we first recognize the entire contribution by the first nations, that founding people—they aren't often called a founding people, but they are—by the Métis, by the francophone and anglophone communities. We should have a book that reflects all those perspectives. A Quebecker will not tell the story in the same way as I do, nor will a member of a first nation. It is important to give our young people this tool, which reflects all Canadian perspectives, our common history.
