Transcript: House of Common Foyer
(music plays)
The opening sequence shows the Canadian flag atop the Parliament, a man playing hockey outdoors, a trout splashing off the water, a panorama of Toronto from Lake Ontario, a Mounted Policeman saluting and a view of cropped fields.
A title reads "My Canada."
A group of narrators say MY CANADA!
A kid giggles and says SWEET.
A teacher faces a classroom. He is balding and has short, black hair on the sides of his head. He wears a white shirt and a striped tie. He stands in front of a map of Canada, a chalkboard with a monument drawing, and a TV set.
The Teacher says STUDENTS, QUIET
PLEASE.
THANK YOU.
IT'S TIME FOR TODAY'S REPORT ON
CANADA'S PARLIAMENT BUILDING.
LET'S BEGIN THE VIDEO.
The teacher turns on the TV.
Leah is around 12, with brown hair tied-up. She wears a blue T-shirt over a white shirt.
Leah says HI, I'M LEA.
I'M HERE IN THE PARLIAMENT
BUILDINGS IN OTTAWA ONTARIO, AND
THIS IS MY CANADA.
TODAY I'M HANGING OUT WITH JULIE
WHO'S A TOUR GUIDE HERE IN THE
PARLIAMENT BUILDINGS.
SO WHERE ARE WE IN THE
PARLIAMENT BUILDINGS RIGHT NOW?
Julie is in her late twenties with shoulder-length wavy brown hair. She wears a blue jacket with buttons.
Julie says WE'RE CURRENTLY IN THE
HOUSE OF COMMONS FOYER, AND MUCH
LIKE YOU'RE INTERVIEWING ME
RIGHT NOW, THIS IS WHERE
JOURNALISTS CAN INTERVIEW
PARLIAMENTARIANS.
Leah says SO IT HAPPENS LIKE,
RIGHT HERE?
Julie says RIGHT WHERE WE'RE
STANDING.
Leah says THAT'S REALLY COOL.
SO WHAT ARE SOME OF THE THINGS
THAT I'M LOOKING AT RIGHT NOW?
They look up to a detailed sculptured roof.
Julie says WELL, WE'RE LOOKING AT
ALL SORTS OF DIFFERENT
SCULPTURES WHICH REPRESENT
VARIOUS PEOPLES AND VARIOUS
PLACES IN CANADA.
NOW YOU'LL ACTUALLY NOTE OVER
THERE THAT WE HAVE A MINER, AND
THIS REPRESENTS AN INDUSTRY
ASSOCIATED WITH ONTARIO, MINING.
BUT THERE'S ALSO A LOT OF
UNCARVED SPACES IN PARLIAMENT SO
THAT FUTURE GENERATIONS CAN ALSO
ADD TO THE BUILDING.
IT'S NOT JUST A BUILDING OF THE
PAST BUT PRESENT AND FUTURE AS
WELL.
Leah says THAT'S REALLY COOL, AND
IT'S REALLY NICE TO THINK THAT
MAYBE ME AND MY FRIENDS CAN
CONTRIBUTE TO THE PARLIAMENT AS
WELL.
Julie says ABSOLUTELY.
Leah says WELL THANK YOU SO MUCH
FOR HANGING OUT WITH ME TODAY.
BYE GUYS.
The Teacher says I BELIEVE THERE ARE
A FEW OF YOU IN HERE WHO MIGHT
CONTRIBUTE GREAT THINGS TO
CANADA, BUT HOW'S ABOUT WE START
BY GETTING OUR HOMEWORK DONE.
