Thank you for your question, Mr. Jacob.
First of all, as president, my work consists in playing a major role in advancing ITF's work around the themes I mentioned, which are Holocaust education, research and commemoration. In addition, I have an advocacy role to play with other governments and NGOs, and working with them to advance the three different educational themes I mentioned previously.
In terms of education, the fact that our system is provincial creates certain limits. We must therefore enter into partnerships with the provincial government, but also work with various Canadian institutions on certain aspects of Holocaust education programs. Some of our partnerships were created long ago and are important. They can certainly help us implement several activities within our mandate.
The government has already invested a great deal of capital in teaching future generations about the lessons learned from the Holocaust and helping prevent acts of genocide in the future. In our work, we must always remember how important prevention is. The Holocaust is a very important subject, but it is also useful for educating generations and preventing acts of genocide, xenophobia, anti-Semitism across the world and in our country.
This is our organization's goal. We do everything we can to work with ONGs and various governmental partners, both provincial and national, in order to advance these three very important themes.
Our intergovernmental organization's main document also demonstrates our commitment towards Holocaust education and research as well as its remembrance. Each year, we must celebrate Holocaust Remembrance Day and provide researchers, and especially teachers in various areas of education, access to Holocaust-related archives.
Those are ITF's activities as indicated in our foundation document. This is the lens through which we do our work.
