I would wholeheartedly agree with that.
If I may, I will add that, at the association, we have always tried to bring together the diverse opinions surrounding the difficult issues in our history. If we cannot do that, we risk transforming our history into propaganda. I hope that will not be the case, whatever the commemoration may be.
We strongly believe that we need to contribute to the debate and commemorate several events, be it the Constitution, the Charter or something else. This provides an opportunity to discuss issues from a variety of perspectives and to point out the problems and challenges. I mentioned that 78% of Canadians would like to commemorate our accomplishments. However, 63% of people say that we need to look at our challenges as a society. We need to do both. I hope it will be possible to do so together, in the context of various segments or formations of society. Having debates is normal. And I would hope there would be debate on it.
Next year is the 50th anniversary of the Royal Commission on Bilingualism and Biculturalism. I will put a great deal of energy into trying to inform the media that it is an anniversary to be commemorated, but not necessarily celebrated. This anniversary might just help us see the progress that we have made since then. It is very important to do this.
