I have one more comment, Mr. Chair.
I had the opportunity to visit the museum this summer, and I must attest to two facts. One, the main building is extraordinary. Secondly, the hangar where some of the rolling stock is being kept is totally inadequate. Maybe there's an assumption that because trains are big steel objects they don't deteriorate, but I saw some fascinating historical pieces of rail rolling stock that were falling apart. This is an urgent issue, and I think the federal government has to do something.
I was also told—and this disturbed me as much, if not more—that some of our finest pieces of rolling stock are being purchased because we cannot maintain or house them properly. Mr. Cheasley, can you confirm this? They are being purchased by wealthy individuals in the United States as luxury pleasure crafts, if you will.
I find it maddening that our heritage is being sold off piece by piece or is falling apart in inadequate facilities.
Thank you, Mr. Chair.
