    SUBJECT: QUEBEC CITY 400TH ANNIVERSARY

    ¶1.  (SBU) Summary:  CG and Embassy Minister Counselor for Public
    Affairs met Oct 14-15 with federal, provincial and municipal
    representatives involved with planning Quebec's 400th
    Anniversary in 2008.  Quebec Mayor L'Allier pushed for a visible
    U.S. legacy in the form of a genealogy center, while Provincial
    government representatives expressed strong reservations with
    the Mayor's proposal, pointing out that it would cost the
    Provincial government 40 million CND for infrastructure work
    alone.  CG and PAO indicated the limits of our ability to
    provide major funding for a large-scale legacy project but that
    we remained open to discussing ways in which we can support a
    genealogy project that makes connections between the U.S. and
    Quebec (and Canada more broadly).  End summary.

    ¶2.  (SBU) Quebec mayor Jean-Paul L'Allier, who is hoping the
    U.S. will contribute to the creation of a genealogy center to
    mark the 400th anniversary of the founding of Quebec City in
    2008, came well-prepared to his Oct. 14 meeting with CG and PAO.
     L'Allier and his team handed us a project proposal complete
    with maps and floor plans for a Genealogy and Heritage Center
    that would be built in an 18th century building in Old Quebec
    known as "The New Barracks."  L'Allier underscored the
    importance and history of US-Canada and US-Quebec ties and noted
    that the 400th anniversary is an opportunity for the U.S. to
    establish a visible presence (a "legacy") in Quebec, which is
    currently lacking.  L'Allier believes U.S. involvement is
    appropriate, given that up to 15 million Americans have origins
    in Quebec and that a large part of the U.S. is former New France
    territory.

    ¶3.  The following day, L'Allier organized a tour for us of the
    Barracks, which will need considerable infrastructure repair and
    renovation.  L'Allier advisor Jacques Jobin, who accompanied us
    on the tour, indicated the municipal government is confident
    that the Provincial government will pay the 40 million CND cost
    of rebuilding the outside of the building, a project which would
    take about three years.  There was no direct discussion of who
    would cover the cost of the inside of the building, i.e.,
    staffing, equipping and running the center itself, but it was
    clear the municipal government is looking for others to foot
    this part of the bill.  (Comment:  By the end of PAO's two-day
    visit, it became apparent that the municipal government is
    hoping the USG either covers these "inside the building" costs,
    or assumes the burden of finding donors to do so.  End Comment.)

    ¶4.  (SBU) Our Oct. 15 meeting with Provincial government
    officials revealed a difference of opinion between L'Allier's
    office and the Provincial government.  Sam Hamad, Charest's
    Minister responsible for the Quebec capital region (also
    Minister for Energy and Resources), and his team indicated to us
    they were not pleased L'Allier was assuming the GoQ would
    contribute 40 million CND for renovation of the New Barracks.
    GoQ 400th anniversary Commissioner Raymond Lesage, who works for
    Hamad, said there is a limited amount of Provincial money for
    400th anniversary events.  Every time money is spent on a
    "legacy" project, it means less money for 400th anniversary
    festivities.

    ¶5.  (SBU) Despite their irritation with L'Allier, Provincial
    officials were careful not to flat out reject the genealogy
    center project.  They wanted to know how much the U.S. would be
    willing to invest.  PAO made clear that the USG does not have
    large sums of money to devote to "legacy" projects such as
    building a monument.  We would probably be able to assist along
    the lines of hosting a seminar or conference around the theme of
    the Quebec roots of Americans.

    Comment
    ------------

    ¶6.  Throughout the visit, CG and PAO gently but clearly
    indicated the limits of our ability to provide major funding for
    a large-scale legacy project.  We also indicated that we remain
    very open to discussing ways in which we can support a genealogy
    project that makes connections between the U.S. and Quebec (and
    Canada more broadly) through our shared immigrant experience.
    We are similarly open to other ideas that would highlight our
    shared "North American" experience.  We will continue to explore
    possibilities for USG/Mission contributions to the 400th
    anniversary celebration through cultural and academic exchange
    programs."

    ¶7.  L'Allier's desire for a "legacy" investment from the USG is
    part of his quite understandable effort as mayor to seize the
    opportunity presented by the 400th to beautify his city.  (The
    "New Barracks" were to have been renovated several years ago to
    make room for a branch of Laval University, but that project
    fell through because of lack of funds.)  We note that for the
    300th anniversary, the only legacy project was the creation of
    the Plains of Abraham Park by the Government of Canada.  Foreign
    governments were asked to participate in festivities and the
    Vice President represented the U.S. at that celebration.
