My first question is for Mr. Laflamme, Ms. Schryer, Mr. L\u00e9g\u00e8re and Mr. Morrow.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3130311\" data-originallang=\"fr\">We have to draft a report and you have an opportunity to help us. You said some very interesting things, but I would like you to try and summarize what you would like to see in the report, in order to concretely help you achieve two things, which we should address separately. The first thing has to do with ensuring that, in your sector, the 2017 celebrations will be delivered in both official languages. Second, the priorities that you have identified as part of celebrating linguistic duality must also be met. So, in terms of the delivery of services and the direction of the celebrations, if you had to summarize everything in a few seconds, what would you like to see in our report so that we can make those recommendations to the government? I would like to hear what you have to say.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3130312\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Ms. Schryer, my additional question to you is this.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3130313\" data-originallang=\"fr\">The Canadian Museum of Civilization has been changed to the Canadian Museum of History. I think the term \u201cCanadian Museum of History\u201d is ambiguous. Does that mean that Canada is looking at the history of the world? We are talking about the Canadian Museum of History. So that means that we are studying the history of the world in Canada, which is fairly close to what the Canadian Museum of Civilization does, as it looks at the history of civilizations. It is a fine distinction. However, are we now saying that the purpose of this museum is to study the history of Canada only? In that case, it should be called the Museum of Canadian History. We have to be specific and, if that's the case, I think it is unfortunate that we have to limit our study on civilizations or world history.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3130314\" data-originallang=\"fr\">I think it is a good idea to create a museum of Canadian history, but I think it is a shame to do so at the expense of a Canadian museum of civilization.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3130315\" data-originallang=\"fr\">My question is for all of you. What do you think about it, Mr. Laflamme? We are going to go in that direction. </p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"3130308\" data-originallang=\"fr\"> Merci, monsieur le pr\u00e9sident.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3130309\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Merci \u00e0 toutes et \u00e0 tous d'\u00eatre venus nous rencontrer aujourd'hui.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3130310\" data-originallang=\"fr\">J'ai une question g\u00e9n\u00e9rale \u00e0 poser et une question additionnelle pour Mme Schryer. Ma premi\u00e8re question s'adresse \u00e0 M. Laflamme, Mme Schryer, M. L\u00e9g\u00e8re et M. Morrow. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3130311\" data-originallang=\"fr\">On a un rapport \u00e0 r\u00e9diger et vous avez l'occasion de nous aider \u00e0 le faire. Vous avez dit des choses tr\u00e8s int\u00e9ressantes, mais je vous demanderais d'essayer de r\u00e9sumer ce que vous souhaiteriez voir dans le rapport afin de vous aider concr\u00e8tement \u00e0 r\u00e9ussir deux choses qu'il faut distinguer. La premi\u00e8re, c'est la possibilit\u00e9 de s'assurer que, dans votre secteur, la livraison des c\u00e9l\u00e9brations de 2017 respectera les deux langues officielles. Deuxi\u00e8mement, il faut que les priorit\u00e9s que vous avez identifi\u00e9es pour c\u00e9l\u00e9brer la dualit\u00e9 linguistique soient aussi r\u00e9alis\u00e9es. Donc, \u00e0 la fois pour la livraison des services et l'orientation \u00e0 donner aux c\u00e9l\u00e9brations, si vous aviez \u00e0 r\u00e9sumer le tout en tr\u00e8s peu de secondes, quelles seraient les choses que vous voudriez voir dans notre rapport pour qu'on les recommande au gouvernement? Je voudrais vous entendre \u00e0 cet \u00e9gard. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3130312\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Madame Schryer, ma question additionnelle est la suivante. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3130313\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Il y a eu ce changement: on passe du Mus\u00e9e canadien des civilisations au Mus\u00e9e canadien de l'histoire. Je trouve ambigu\u00eb l'expression \u00ab Mus\u00e9e canadien de l'histoire \u00bb. Est-ce qu'on veut dire par l\u00e0 que le Canada \u00e9tudie l'histoire du monde? On parle du Mus\u00e9e canadien de l'histoire. On dirait donc qu'au Canada, on \u00e9tudie l'histoire du monde, ce qui est assez pr\u00e8s de ce que fait le Mus\u00e9e canadien des civilisations qui fait \u00e9tat de l'histoire des civilisations. C'est une petite nuance. Toutefois, est-ce qu'on dit maintenant que ce mus\u00e9e et sa vocation consistent \u00e0 n'\u00e9tudier que l'histoire du Canada? Si c'est le cas, il doit s'appeler le Mus\u00e9e de l'histoire du Canada. Il faut quand m\u00eame \u00eatre pr\u00e9cis et, si c'est le cas, c'est selon moi dommage de limiter notre \u00e9tude en ce qui a trait aux civilisations ou \u00e0 l'histoire universelle.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3130314\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Je pense que c'est tr\u00e8s bien de cr\u00e9er un mus\u00e9e de l'histoire du Canada, mais je trouve dommage de le faire en rabotant un mus\u00e9e canadien des civilisations. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3130315\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Ma question s'adresse \u00e0 vous tous. Monsieur Laflamme, qu'en pensez-vous? Nous allons proc\u00e9der de cette fa\u00e7on.</p>"
