My thanks to the witnesses for being here.
The Expo 67 experience, one year before I came to Canada, remains a great experience for me. I kept going to Terre de Hommes, Man and his World, afterwards.
In much of the testimony we have heard, we have been told time and time again that ideas should come from communities. I think that is really important for the 150 th anniversary. But, since 1967, there have been a number of changes in Canada. Some for better, some for worse. The monarchy does not go over very well in Quebec, for example.
What do you envision doing to create a situation wherein Quebec will want to be part of this, will feel invited into this process and into the celebration? The acknowledgement of our histories and of our working together is something that is very important.
What could be done by the ministry to help promote the celebration in Quebec?
