And we appreciate the help of the retailers who handle the notes and the law enforcement agencies that work to make sure that counterfeiting remains very low. So yes, it’s a long and involved process and a lot of hard work. But it’s the hard work that makes the process so worthwhile and the celebration so sweet.
I want to highlight a couple of things that made bringing this note to reality so special. The first is the public’s involvement in designing the note. Finance Minister Bill Morneau agreed with me that it was long past time to feature an iconic Canadian woman on the front of a regularly circulating bank note.
