Request changing the section on "Government Documents" to the following :
Fox was one of eight candidate finalists for having his portrait on the future $5 polymer banknotes in Canada.[1]; on December 17, 2024 the Government of Canada announced as part of its Fall Economic Statement that he would replace Sir Wilfred Laurier on the bills [2]. He is shown in the 2013 rendering of the Canadian passport.[3]
For reference, the change would be replacing the below text which is no longer current after the announcement of Terry being placed on the bills:
Fox is one of eight candidate finalists for having his portrait on the future $5 polymer banknotes in Canada.[4] He is shown in the 2013 rendering of the Canadian passport.[5] Birudojin (talk) 21:50, 17 December 2024 (UTC)
