Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.

Thank you to our guests from the Department of Canadian Heritage for being here this morning.

Monsieur Jean, at a high level, my impression is that over the last few years there has been a greater focus at the department on promoting an understanding of Canadian history, including in our school system. Is that a fair assessment? Could you elaborate a little bit on that and why that is?
