"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"3068679\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Thank you, Mr. Chair.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3068680\" data-originallang=\"fr\">I would like to thank our guests for being here.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3068681\" data-originallang=\"fr\">I am happy to see you again. We see each other so often now that we could be on a first-name basis.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3068682\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Welcome to those who are here for the first time. I will still address you formally.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3068683\" data-originallang=\"fr\">As my colleague, Mr. Gourde, said we are here to listen to you. We have four years to plan this major celebration. We do not want to redo the work that has been done by the Department of Canadian Heritage, but we want to discuss the planning to ensure that the celebration promotes linguistic duality as a cornerstone of Canadianism and our country.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3068684\" data-originallang=\"fr\">We want a lot of people to participate in the preparations for the celebration, as you mentioned in your comments. I think that this is a very important objective.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3068685\" data-originallang=\"fr\">We also want to focus on creativity. How can we create a structure that promotes creativity? We do not want the celebration to be something that is imposed by government. How can we get Canadians to share their creative ideas with us? I would like to hear your comments on this.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3068686\" data-originallang=\"fr\">In 1967, I was two years old, but I know that the celebration was creative. I remember the song by Bobby Gimby, <em>Ca-na-da</em>. It was striking.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3068687\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Given the new technologies we have and Canada's new strengths, what can we do in 2017? What can we do to promote creativity so that people remember 2017 for a long time?</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3068688\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Perhaps we will begin with Mr. Couture because, when we think about creativity and new ideas, we often think about young people.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"3068679\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Merci, monsieur le pr\u00e9sident.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3068680\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Je remercie nos invit\u00e9s d'\u00eatre ici.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3068681\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Je suis heureux de vous revoir. Nous nous voyons maintenant si souvent que nous pourrions utiliser nos pr\u00e9noms.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3068682\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Ceux qui sont ici pour la premi\u00e8re fois, je vous souhaite la bienvenue. Je vais quand m\u00eame vous vouvoyer.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3068683\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Comme mon coll\u00e8gue M. Gourde l'a dit, nous sommes ici pour vous \u00e9couter. Nous avons quatre ans pour bien planifier cette grande c\u00e9l\u00e9bration. Nous ne voulons pas refaire le travail de Patrimoine canadien, mais nous voulons nous pencher sur la planification pour nous assurer que la dualit\u00e9 linguistique sera promue, \u00e0 titre de pierre angulaire du fait canadien, de notre pays.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3068684\" data-originallang=\"fr\">On veut qu'il y ait une grande participation aux pr\u00e9parations de la c\u00e9l\u00e9bration, comme vous l'avez mentionn\u00e9 lors de vos commentaires. Je pense que cet objectif est tr\u00e8s important.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3068685\" data-originallang=\"fr\">On vise aussi la cr\u00e9ativit\u00e9. Comment peut-on cr\u00e9er une structure pour favoriser la cr\u00e9ativit\u00e9? On ne veut pas que les c\u00e9l\u00e9brations soient impos\u00e9es par le gouvernement. Comment peut-on amener la population canadienne \u00e0 nous faire part d'id\u00e9es cr\u00e9atives? J'aimerais entendre vos commentaires \u00e0 ce propos.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3068686\" data-originallang=\"fr\">En 1967, j'avais 2 ans, mais je sais que des choses cr\u00e9atives ont \u00e9t\u00e9 faites. Je me souviens de la chanson <em>Ca-na-da</em>, de Bobby Gimby. C'\u00e9tait marquant.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3068687\" data-originallang=\"fr\"> Que peut-on faire en 2017, compte tenu des nouvelles technologies et des nouvelles forces qui existent dans ce pays? Que peut-on faire pour favoriser la cr\u00e9ativit\u00e9, afin qu'on se souvienne de 2017 pendant longtemps?</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3068688\" data-originallang=\"fr\">On va peut-\u00eatre commencer par M. Couture, car lorsqu'on parle de cr\u00e9ativit\u00e9, on pense souvent \u00e0 la jeunesse pour avoir de nouvelles id\u00e9es.</p>"
