That is for them to say. I know that Mr. O'Neill could tell you how they hold their consultations. You must also understand that we are constantly holding consultations to understand the wishes and needs of taxpayers. We want to know what they want to see in every museum and gallery.
I have talked to my provincial colleagues and other people. I fully understand the situation. In my response, I thanked your committee for its work on our country's 150th birthday and on what it wanted to include in the celebrations. I agree with most of what you said, but my mandate does not come from your committee. My mandate comes from Canadians and my obligations are to find and work with you on a number of ideas for the 150th anniversary. That is why, before I introduced the bill in the House of Commons, I presented it to each of you and to each of the parties of the House of Commons. I told you about this bill in person.
