Let's talk about history for a moment. My family and I watched a program on the life of John A. Macdonald. It was a great show. My children, who were just 11 and 10 at the time, found it dramatic and quite fascinating. It was really well done. Are there other similar projects? It is worth talking about. Even if it doesn't focus on Confederation, a program could feature Canadian stories that unite us and that matter.
As my colleague Mr. Galipeau said, sometimes we hear more about U.S. history than Canadian history, especially in English Canada. Some young Canadians know more about Lincoln or Washington than they do about Canada's historical figures. How will you heighten that awareness around our own history?
