"I think it's fair to say that Canadian society doesn't know its communities well. We don't know ourselves. This is not only true of Catholics but of everyone. Distance doesn't help, but that's not enough. The purpose of our fund, and of the operation we are carrying out, is for us to get to know each other better. And to allow them to make themselves known, to be recognized and respected, which hasn't been the case and which is still very difficult."
