Thank you, Chair.
We recognize that we have a really important anniversary coming up, and that's the 150th of Confederation in 2017. Certainly, the mandate to promote the national capital region will be transferred to Canadian Heritage—a broad national perspective.
I think it's important to recognize that even by the words, “National Capital Commission”, it speaks to a very local look. If you look at most people in western and eastern Canada, those words don't make any sense. The Minister of Canadian Heritage is intimate and instrumental in terms of the celebrations we enjoy across Canada.
I think this is going to be a strongly positive move, and we're really looking forward to having that national perspective as we head into this very important anniversary and celebration.
