Pier 21 is the second national museum outside our nation's capital.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2298735\" data-originallang=\"en\">No country in the world has benefited more than Canada from free and open immigration. As the <a data-HoCid=\"78738\" href=\"/politicians/stephen-harper/\" title=\"Stephen Harper\">Prime Minister</a> said in Halifax at Pier 21 last June:</p>\n<blockquote><p data-HoCid=\"2298736\" data-originallang=\"en\"> In every region...new Canadians make major contributions to our culture, economy and way of life....Anybody who makes the decision to live, work and build a life in our country represents the very best... </p>\n</blockquote><p data-HoCid=\"2298737\" data-originallang=\"en\">This museum is for them. Congratulations.</p>",

L'histoire familiale de 20 p. 100 des Canadiens est li\u00e9e \u00e0 ce site. C'est le deuxi\u00e8me mus\u00e9e national \u00e0 \u00eatre construit \u00e0 l'ext\u00e9rieur de la capitale nationale. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2298735\" data-originallang=\"en\">Aucun pays dans le monde n'a profit\u00e9 davantage de l'immigration libre et ouverte que le Canada. Comme le <a data-HoCid=\"78738\" href=\"/politicians/stephen-harper/\" title=\"Stephen Harper\">premier ministre</a> l'a dit \u00e0 Halifax au Quai 21 en juin dernier:</p>\n<blockquote><p data-HoCid=\"2298736\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Dans toutes les r\u00e9gions [...], les n\u00e9o-Canadiens apportent une contribution importante \u00e0 notre culture, notre \u00e9conomie et notre fa\u00e7on de vivre. [...] Ceux et celles qui choisissent de vivre, travailler et se construire une vie dans notre pays incarnent parfaitement ce que cela signifie d'\u00eatre Canadien. </p>\n</blockquote><p data-HoCid=\"2298737\" data-originallang=\"en\">Ce mus\u00e9e est pour les n\u00e9o-Canadiens. F\u00e9licitations.</p>"
