Mr. Speaker, large parts of our history have been scrubbed from the history books and erased, left to fade into oblivion. History cannot be fully explained without these pivotal moments that are far too often forgotten.
Fortunately, we have documentary filmmakers in Quebec who provide a unique perspective on our society and go beyond the official canon to help us rediscover ourselves. We owe so much to these women and men who uncover the truth: Pierre Perrault, Denys Arcand, Michel Brault, Pierre Falardeau, Manon Barbeau, Will Prosper, to name a few.
Félix Rose, who is in Ottawa today, is one of these giants of storytelling. He reminds us of important events that have been left out of the national story, whether Le dernier felquiste, Les Rose, or now La bataille de Saint‑Léonard, which he is showing in Gatineau this evening.
Through Mr. Rose, we commend the exceptional work of the documentary filmmaker. I invite my colleagues to come watch these thought-provoking films.
