Thank you so much. I'm very impressed by the preparations some of you have obviously done. Thank you so much. It helps us to have a conversation on the common ground project.
We called it “common ground” because we were trying to explain to our young people, particularly young men, that they have to go beyond belonging to only the Muslim communities. You could be a Canadian and this could be a thing to be very proud of, and under the heading of being a Canadian, you can have multiple identities. You don't need to give up one to only belong to another. Some of our young men in particular were very keen on being good Muslims but not really getting beyond that to being good Canadians or working with other religious groups.
What we did with that one was at the end of it, I have to tell you, I felt that none of these young men and women—particularly the young men—would ever turn to animosity between their religious groups. There were Jews, Christians, atheists, some native Canadians, and so on. So what we learned from that is that you have to reach beyond your religious or ethnic community to do these works, particularly for youth. We learned that.
