You seem satisfied with this formula. But again, I keep going back to the idea that it's a major part of our history, whereas we have an aviation museum that's I guess completely funded by the federal government. Our rail heritage centre, which is what you've created, which we would not have if you had not intervened in the 1950s and 1960s.... I don't understand why that has to rely on creative funding formulas from municipalities and provincial governments and industry.
Again, you seem to like that formula, but as a federal member of Parliament, it's almost scandalous to me that you have to scrounge around for funding from different sources when it's a national treasure--it just happens not to be in Ottawa, though it's not far from Ottawa.
Would you be open to the idea of the museum being integrated into the science and technology museum as a satellite museum, funded 100% by the federal government?
