I want to take this opportunity to thank the representatives of Parks Canada for the work they do in connection with the Bicentennial Commemoration of the War of 1812. That part of our history was not well-known in Quebec. I think that Canadian society is rooted in these historical facts and that we must indeed promote them. Parks Canada has done its work very well in this regard. We want this type of activity to be even better recognized over the next few years.
We are told that on the American side, this is more or less important. They do not necessarily wish to publicize this war which they lost.
