Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to the three witnesses for being with us today.
Your testimony is frankly very interesting. I agree with my colleague that you complement one another very well.
Mr. Gunn, in your opening remarks, you talked about the importance of developing attachment and creating connections. Mr. Blask also talked about that in his. He said that civic resilience was a structural problem in our communities. He talked about the importance of developing human relationships and strengthening memory.
Two weeks ago, in my riding of Sherbrooke, there was the Pain partagé campaign. Groups like the Boy Scouts and the cadets were all there, going from house to house giving bread to people. There were stalls where you could buy bread. They were the ones standing there handing it out.
I saw the beauty and kindness of these young people, who are trained and disciplined, who want to help and who want to pass on all the wonderful values they learn in these youth groups.
Do you think that building on that would be a good way to broaden citizen engagement? There are different ways to be committed to our democratic institutions.
