Canadian Heritage committee  All right.

Canadian Heritage committee  Yes, it would be shown.

Canadian Heritage committee  Yes.

Canadian Heritage committee  Every two years. We're about to put one out in January, which means we give the artists six months to put in a submission. We then try to do the jury in a matter of two to three months. It takes about six to eight months for an acquisition jury.

Canadian Heritage committee  Just recently, yes. That was for 2005-06, and the results of those acquisitions are on our Internet site.

Canadian Heritage committee  Every two years. Because our budgets are limited and because of staff, this year we've been putting our money into maintaining the collection: getting it framed and conserved, making sure it's in good shape, doing inventories. Next year we'll do the art acquisition.

Canadian Heritage committee  I have to. It's operational money. We also have the consent of the artists for that, because they're very concerned about the condition of the collection.

Canadian Heritage committee  It is okay, but they want to make sure we make it stay in that standard. You need to put work into a public collection.

Canadian Heritage committee  Your questions, if I can say, are very similar to questions that have been brought to me over the last year by a former employee who has been very inquisitive about the way we do business and the way the collection is kept. I'm wondering if this has any connection with your quest

Canadian Heritage committee  They're the exact same questions.

Canadian Heritage committee  I know, but--

Canadian Heritage committee  I am, and that's the very collective I'm referring to. It is headed by a former employee who has been—I can't even say the right word—examining us very closely.

Canadian Heritage committee  I might.

Canadian Heritage committee  They are not legitimate questions. That's why I'd like to invite you to see what we do.

Canadian Heritage committee  Upon appointment.
