Thank you very much.
Thank you, Minister, for coming today.
I want to start by congratulating and thanking you for using the phrase “150th anniversary of Confederation”. I've noticed you've used that regularly. I think that's important because it is the event that we are observing and commemorating.
I noticed that the four main themes—and it's in your notes circulated today—to be featured are diversity and inclusion, national reconciliation with aboriginal people, youth, and the environment.
What seems to be missing, notwithstanding that you keep using the phrase, “150th anniversary of Confederation”, is any notion of history, or particularly the event itself, namely, Confederation. Shouldn't Confederation be one of the themes of the 150th anniversary of Confederation?
