Thank you so much, Ms. Blaney.
I can speak specifically for our organization, with the Vimy Centennial Park and the Hill 70 Memorial. Both of these are large private sites that exist very close to the Canadian National Vimy Memorial.
Both organizations built them with the intention of continuing to maintain them. We are all continuing to maintain them as we have originally vowed to do. However, the major issue for us is thinking about the future, and not so much the future in five years but in 10, 15 or 20 years, and about what happens with these sites.
It is difficult, I think. Because we all work in this environment, we have a sense of who manages what, where it goes and how it's done, but the average Canadian coming in and seeing one of these sites doesn't know who manages it. Their first stop, often, when there are problems and there are things that are in disrepair, is to go to Veterans Affairs, because that's the first place they think of.
We need to think about the sites that are outside of Canada but that continue to mark Canadian events and make sure that they don't remain out of sight, out of mind, because there aren't Canadians going there regularly and saying, “This is in disrepair,” or “This needs to be replaced.”
It's just a matter of not falling into that out of sight, out of mind trap until something terrible happens and people are looking at it and asking, “Why did this happen?” It's taking a proactive stance rather than a reactive stance.
I saw the finger from Mr. May, so I'm going to stop here. This, however, would be my first thought on that question.
