For example, our Government is working to establish the Canadian Museum for Human Rights in Winnipeg. This national museum, the first to be built outside of the National Capital Region, will serve as a powerful symbol of this country’s commitment to recognizing, promoting and celebrating human rights, at home and abroad.
As well, I was very pleased when this country, here in Ottawa in fact, was selected as the site for the Aga Khan’s Global Centre for Pluralism. I am proud that my Government is supporting this institution, which I believe will serve as a cornerstone of good governance, the rule of law, and human development in the years ahead.
As well, I believe that His Holiness the Dalai Lama’s decision to locate the new International Centre for Peace and Education in Vancouver is an important recognition of our country’s commitment to peace, harmony and understanding.
