Thank you for the opportunity to make an observation. I am not a member of the committee, but I was delighted to have the opportunity to fill in for our parliamentary secretary.
Maybe because of the richness of the displays at the museum and the length of time it takes to get through them, I continue to go back. Last fall, I was able to spend a couple of hours there. It was a coincidence that I saw the display of the teddy bear. I had been at a school during a Remembrance Day week, and I had an opportunity to read some storybooks to some younger grades. That was one of the books I read. It was an amazing thing to be able to tell these students that the story I was reading is true, and that this teddy bear is actually at the War Museum in Ottawa. They were amazed.
I want to encourage you in your efforts to continue to find ways to engage our children in remembering, whether it's through the cartoon you mentioned earlier or by linking together authors and artists who can take a story from an artifact and put it in a way that can engage children. I want to encourage you to keep doing that.
