| Abstract: |
I welcome this opportunity to share some thoughts with you about my people, this country we share, and our future relationships with non-Aboriginal Canadians. My theme today is that the time is right for a fresh start, for new partnerships, better understanding, tolerance, and the creation of mutually-beneficial opportunities. My talk is about the Canada of the new millennium — a Canada I envision as unified and vibrant, a Canada that has come to terms with its past, and which will go forward towards being the best country in the world for all its citizens. In my remarks I will first outline the historical context that must inform this new beginning; secondly, I describe the reasons why the time is right now to achieve a fresh start; and thirdly, I discuss how, in practical terms, it can all happen. |
