It seems to be a modern 'thing' to raise 'awareness' of something, be it cultural or, increasingly, a medical condition.

Or, as I call it, trying to get others to give a crap about what's important to you.

The actual reason this happens has little to do with raising awareness of the client group but rather raising awareness of the federal government, reinforcing a flaccid attempt at establishing relevancy. We're here for you and don't forget us at the polling place next time. These numerous Ministries of Silly Walks don't have any real function other than as PR departments for the Party in Power.

The heavy lifting of government intrusion is mostly done by the Provinces (Health care, Education, Welfare, Energy, Resources, Highways etc) leaving the Feds with their many silly walks. Thankfully Canadian federalism hasn't quite centralized to the extent the US leviathan has in duplicating and over-stepping what used to be exclusive to the States.

How about raising the cultural awareness of the Canadian-Monégasques?

I wouldn't exclude supply management, central banking, telecom and broadcast regulation, and drug prohibition from 'heavy lifting'. The feds are at war with freedom too.
