Mr. Speaker, I am honoured to rise to support the private member's bill from the hon. member for Miramichi.
I know many have made the point of how cross-cultural fiddling is. I come from Cape Breton Island myself, where we know there are strains of fiddling that came from the Cape Breton Highlands, strains of fiddling that came from the sounds of bagpipes and were transposed from bagpipes to fiddles, and fiddling that comes from the Acadian community, which shares the same strains as the Cajuns down in Louisiana, in New Orleans.
Then, of course, we have stunning fiddlers, legends like Lee Cremo, who is Mi'kmaq, who also picked up the fiddle and brought his own cultural reality to fiddling.
I am proud to support the motion. I would ask my hon. friend if she thinks there is any part of Canada where fiddling is not relevant.
