What happened last weekend with the statue of John A. Macdonald is unacceptable and the
statue will be restored and re-put in place.
It's unacceptable in a democracy. Of course
we need to fight against racism but that's
not the way to do it. We have to respect the history.
Some are saying that there's a way
to respect that history without having to
put forward that statue out there. Some people are saying that we could put it in a museum.
Do you think there's another way of honouring and respecting our history without offending other people?
Right now, we'll restore and re-put in place the statue. We may have discussions
in the next years about changes, but right
now the decision is that it will be re-put in place.
