Personally, I was very disappointed to hear about the recent decisions made by your department about the museum and about the section of the Trans Canada Trail that someone wants to rename the Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Trail.
I wonder what the big picture of the activities commemorating the 150th anniversary of Confederation will look like. Do we not already have an idea through these kinds of preparations, through name changes, through royalizing our symbols? What exactly is the 150th anniversary going to be celebrating if, in the years prior, all Canadian symbols have been royalized?
I think that puts the celebrations in an awkward light. You are heading off in a strange direction.
