Thank you, Mr. Chair, and thank you to the ministers for being here today to answer some questions.
A new passport design was unveiled on May 10, and we have Minister Gould quoted as saying, “I think a couple of the questions have been suggesting that there's a partisan aspect to this,” and, “I think it's important to say that this is not partisan. The design of this passport started 10 years ago and this is really about ensuring the security of the document.”
I'm hoping the minister can table for this committee where in the 10-year consultation there was a desire to remove the imagery of Terry Fox, Canadian athlete, humanitarian and cancer-research activist, the Battle of Vimy Ridge, the Fathers of Confederation, the last spike being nailed into the Canadian National Railway and Nellie McClung, a member of the Famous Five. Could you table that with the committee?
