Mr. Speaker, the revisionist approach to history taken by the Minister of Canadian Heritage and Official Languages is raising eyebrows across Canada. Most experts agree that the Conservatives' approach is inappropriate and, more importantly, dangerous.
While the advertising budget for the War of 1812 has tripled, more than 80% of Parks Canada's archeologists and conservators have lost their jobs. The very survival of our heritage institutions and historic sites is at stake.
Does the minister realize that, although he is rewriting it, history will be the judge of his bad faith?
