I have been watching the government's little propaganda videos—sorry, information videos—on TV. I am not sure that I see a specific francophone presence, or the involvement of particular communities. The events are depicted with the statement that the nation of Canada defended our country. I am afraid that that is the kind of obscurantism that we will see in the celebrations of Confederation.
I think we have to be careful. I hope that Canadian Heritage will provide good guidelines that will allow communities to be able to express what they want. I hope that the approach will not be top down, but bottom up. That is very important for celebrations of this kind.
