If I Am To Be Known For

We Owe The Aboriginal Peoples A Debt That Is Four Centuries Old. It Is Their Turn To Become Full Partners, In Developing An Even Greater Canada. And The Reconciliation Required May Be Less A Matter Of Legal Texts Than Of Attitudes Of The Heart.

I Am Told That There Is A Proverbial Phrase Among The Inuit: 'a Long Time Ago, In The Future.' Let The Children See Our History, And Maybe It Will Help To Shape The Future.

If I Am To Be Known For Anything, I Would Like It To Be For Encouraging Canadians, For Knowing A Little Bit About Their Daily, Extraordinary Courage. And For Wanting That Courage To Be Recognized.

I Fear That By Gaining A Limit, We'll Lose An Excuse.
