Yes. I'm concerned with “native land”. I'm concerned with the word “God”. These are changes that I can see after this bill, if it passes. Those words will be under attack—“native land” and “God”—in our national anthem. I mean, we'll be changing this every Parliament. That's not what heritage is all about. I'm a little distressed about this, to be honest with you, because the Canadians I talk to....
I used to be a sportscaster, and in sports you follow teams because of their history, not what they do today. In this country there are several Montreal Canadiens fans who will never change because of the history of that hockey club. It's the same with the Toronto Maple Leafs. No matter what you do, they will never change because of history. It's the same with this.
We need to do a better job in our schools to explain where this came from. I am shocked, because does this mean that the works of Shakespeare and van Gogh and all these people who came before us are useless now? I mean, that's where this is going, and I'm very distressed about it.
