We agree with that. For us, it's the whole issue of dialogue and getting to know each other.
I am Fransaskoise, and I live in Saskatchewan. My anglophone neighbour may not know me, and I may not know him either. It's important to have that dialogue. We put forward the idea of a youth Parliament. We have one; it's francophone, but we don't want a francophone youth Parliament; we want one that really is representative of Canada. So it would include first nations, Métis, anglophones and francophones.
You have an interpretation service here. Why not have a real Parliament with young people who would come and consider issues of dialogue, pride and belonging and who could table bills in Parliament, things for us? That would be an opportunity for exchange for our young people.
Sometimes I get the feeling—and I would say this is partly true—that our young people are more open to the world than the people of previous generations. They no longer wonder whether they will speak to their first nation neighbour, whether they will learn English or French. They wonder what other language they're going to learn, to whom else they can speak. Our young people are more open.
Perhaps that is what we Canadians should draw inspiration from. To my mind, if we see young Canadians from all parts of society come together in Parliament to debate issues such as that, the entire question of identity and pride will emerge, and we will get the impression, first, that we are speaking to each other and getting to know each other. I believe that will have a significant impact, not only at that moment, but for the future of this country.
