I think part of what would be worth stressing is that we're not just looking at 2017 as one year, where at midnight the switch goes on and suddenly we start. We're looking at how we ramp up and how we identify the important events now that build up to 2017.
This year is the anniversary of the Charlottetown and Quebec conferences, which basically led to 1867. We wouldn't have had that without them and there's a tremendous amount of activity going on in P.E.I. to celebrate this year. They're doing a number of events with Quebec. The tall ships will be sailing from P.E.I. up to Quebec.
As the minister mentioned, our department has allocated over $7 million for those activities and events. Other departments have also contributed, as has the provincial government.
I think it's not quite correct to say that nothing is happening. There is a lot going on in the build up, and we're still finalizing all the planning for 2017 itself.
