Canadian Heritage committee  For 2014 and beyond, some of them were mentioned by our colleague. The year 2012 is a very rich year in commemorative events that we're actively engaged in. The one that was mentioned for 2014, for the 150th anniversary of Charlottetown, is a big one on our radar. We try to balance the themes both nationally and regionally, because we do realize that when we go out regionally we're quite successful in connecting with Canadians.

Canadian Heritage committee  Thank you, Mr. Chair. I'll try to keep to our time. I would like to start by thanking the chair and the honourable members of the Standing Committee on Canadian Heritage for inviting the Royal Canadian Mint to present the commemorative coin programs and the implications of these activities on Canada's 150th anniversary in 2017.
