Thank you, Mr. Chair.
To that end, I think very important work has been accomplished in Nova Scotia by the economic development council. I think there are a number of them across the country, and I think they are associated with RDÉE. That is very interesting. They look at the economy, the population in the region, wages, age, and so on. Today we have very sophisticated information that was not available 20 years ago and we should be able to explore it further to obtain a true picture not only of the regions, but also of the provinces and the entire country.
As my colleague Mr. Lefebvre mentioned earlier, the minister's mandate letter contains some very interesting things, which I think show that our government intends to move the official languages issue forward. Of course, Canadian Heritage is also in the picture.
There are some extremely interesting projects, including Canada's 150th anniversary, of which we can be proud. As you can imagine, I was very young in 1967, when the 100th anniversary was celebrated.
