Thank you very much.
Mr. Van Loan, thanks for coming to talk to us today.
I want to ask you a question about why Canada is not good at preserving its historic sites in comparison with our neighbour, the United States. As you mentioned earlier, I was the mayor of Kingston. Kingston was Sir John A. Macdonald's hometown, at least while he was a member of Parliament. In Kingston we have his former law office, which he had before he was a member. There's a tiny, really weathered bronze plaque on the building that says it's the “site of”, etc., and that's it. Sir John A. and Isabella's home on Brock Street is currently for sale. There's a RE/MAX sign in front of it.
Could you imagine that happening in the United States with George Washington?
