Celebrating is absolutely wonderful, but we could correct some of the inequities in justice. I'm not talking specifically about francophones, but any of those we've had over the last 150 years. That would go a long way to re-establishing my pride.
I am proud. I said I am a very proud Canadian. I'd show even more pride on the 150th birthday of Canada. That's for every component of this society. We want Canadians to be proud.
There are things over the history that, as a Canadian, I'm somewhat ashamed of and there are things that I'm really proud of. I'm not just speaking as the présidente de la fédération, but as a Canadian. If we could correct some of the things that have gone wrong in this country over the past 150 years, man, I would celebrate and I would pay for my own celebration.
