It's kind of strange that that senator is the only one to mention finding this original text. I can't find any mention of it anyplace else on the net... No mention of where she found it, how she found, or where it is now. Kind of odd, especially considering there's no mention of it on the Canadian Heritage website.
I feel the need to question Wikipedia on this, amongst many other things.
