Mr. Chairman, there are figures. Wouldn't it be appropriate to review all those figures, since you are part of the continuity of a government history? The previous government was about to establish a museums policy, with the consent of the Canadian Museums Association. Instead of wasting our time playing at being tourists in all the museums of Canada and Quebec, we could refer to those documents, develop a draft policy that would be submitted to our committee and move forward, in order simply to save time.
My NDP colleague, Mr. Angus, pointed out that there were urgent issues that had to be dealt with because they absolutely have not been addressed. I'm referring to the subjects he put forward. Furthermore, as regards the museums, the essential work has been done. Witnesses have appeared before the committee and one official came to testify. I don't see why that poses a problem.
