At this milestone in our history, I encourage honourable senators to reflect on the events of December 6, 1989, and to do what you can to ensure that we have -and to the extent that we have not, that we strive to have - a society where there is respect and harmony between men and women.
December 6, 1989 is in the past.
My statement is correct because the original context describes December 6, 1989 as a past event. The system struggled with this because it has trouble differentiating between different subtypes of nouns.
