Description

Glyn Perkins (Canada correspondent) reports on a visit by Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh to Canada. They received a warm welcome from the public in Halifax, Nova Scotia at the start of the ten day tour. But the role of the monarchy is under discussion, with many in favour of severing ties with Britain. Although the royal visit could help heal wounds in Canada as the country faces increasing calls for partition. Includes vox pop with Canadian public.
