I have been speaking with museum associations from across Canada. I think they'd be very pleased if we had the Canadian Museums Association here. I certainly do not want to use this forum as a bitter-batter to say we're voting down Alberta. I really resent that. I don't want that on the record. I think that if we have one session in which we hear from the museums association, that would allow us to get a general picture. Otherwise, if we are following Mr. Warkentin's suggestion, we'll have to have 10 groups speaking individually, plus others, and that's going to deflect us from our other work. I think we are spending a lot of time spinning our tires around this table. I think it's a fairly straightforward motion, and we should just vote on it.
