Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
I would propose an enormous amendment to what I have before me. First, however, I'd like to recall that, in October 2005, the Canadian Museum Association was very enthusiastic about the sustained efforts made in this area by the former heritage minister Ms. Frulla. A museums policy was in the offing.
I believe studies are gathering dust on shelves. That leads me to keep only the last part of this motion. In other words, the committee should hear from the Canadian Museum Association, the Canadian Heritage officials who are concerned by this matter and any other interested party, at the committee's discretion.
It would be a waste of time to do tours that, in any case, wouldn't enable us, in so little time, to redo all the work previously done. We can rely on the experts, that is the technicians and officials who worked with Ms. Frulla on this file.
The compromise appears in the last line, if we add the words "the Canadian Heritage officials who are concerned by this file".
