Your presentations were quite in line with what the committee hoped to hear from you. You came here today with recommendations for the anniversary celebrations in 2017.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3152563\" data-originallang=\"fr\">And I am going to ask you to repeat your suggestions but explain how they tie into the 2017 anniversary celebrations, just as Mr. Racine did in response to Ms. Michaud's question a little while ago.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3152564\" data-originallang=\"fr\">You can appreciate that the government will receive an onslaught of requests. If you want yours to make it to the top of the pile, you need to clearly identify the connection between your proposal and the anniversary celebration. Otherwise, your ideas will be relegated to the bottom of the pile, and perhaps be considered for the next milestone celebration in 50 years' time. A great many organizations, groups and movements will see this event as a funding opportunity for potential programs to advance their work. Conversely, if the tie-in between their proposal and the anniversary celebrations is not clear, their request will go no further.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3152565\" data-originallang=\"fr\">With that in mind, then, could you kindly repeat your main proposals and tell us why they represent an opportunity to mark the 150th anniversary of Confederation?</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"3152561\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Merci, monsieur le pr\u00e9sident.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3152562\" data-originallang=\"fr\"> Madame Saint-Pierre, monsieur Dubeau et monsieur Racine, je vous remercie. Vous avez fait des pr\u00e9sentations qui correspondent assez bien \u00e0 ce que le comit\u00e9 esp\u00e9rait de vous. Vous arrivez avec des propositions li\u00e9es aux c\u00e9l\u00e9brations de 2017.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3152563\" data-originallang=\"fr\"> Cependant, je vais vous demander de r\u00e9p\u00e9ter vos propositions en nous expliquant, \u00e0 l'instar de la fa\u00e7on dont M. Racine a r\u00e9pondu \u00e0 Mme Michaud un peu plus t\u00f4t, quel est le lien entre tout cela et les c\u00e9l\u00e9brations de 2017.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3152564\" data-originallang=\"fr\"> Vous comprenez bien que le gouvernement va \u00eatre assailli de demandes. Si vous voulez que les v\u00f4tres soient sur le dessus du panier, plut\u00f4t qu'on les mette dans le fond et qu'on les consid\u00e8re peut-\u00eatre pour les prochaines c\u00e9l\u00e9brations dans 50 ans, il faut que ce lien soit bien \u00e9tabli. Beaucoup d'organismes, beaucoup de groupes, beaucoup de mouvements vont vouloir utiliser cet \u00e9v\u00e9nement pour financer des programmes qu'ils ont en t\u00eate parce que cela les aide, mais si le lien avec les c\u00e9l\u00e9brations n'est pas \u00e9vident, leur proposition ne sera pas retenue.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3152565\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Avec cela en t\u00eate, pourriez-vous reprendre vos principales propositions et nous dire pourquoi elles constituent une occasion de c\u00e9l\u00e9bration du 150<sup>e</sup> anniversaire de la Conf\u00e9d\u00e9ration?</p>"
