Thank you, Madam Chair, and thank you to the witnesses for participating today.
I've talked to many different groups over the past number of months. There are two lines of thought. From the younger generation, I hear about June 21 as a day of celebration, of celebrating culture, and a day of learning for the next generation. When I talk to the older generation, they say it's a day of remembrance and mourning on September 30.
Whether it's a stat holiday or not, there are two lines of thoughts here: celebration of the culture and mourning for what happened. How do we balance the two? I'm not sure who would want to answer this. Maybe I could hear from each of you on your perspectives, because we can't have both.
