The conclusion I draw from your comments is that the department took your recommendations seriously and seems to be heading in the right direction, even though there may be other audits at the appropriate time.
My other question is a general one. I know from experience that there will probably always be more demand than there are resources. That's the nature of every government, I believe.
Having said that, I would like to know whether Ms. Fraser or the departmental people can tell me whether any comparisons were drawn between Canada and other countries. How does Canada compare to other countries with regard to the protection of its built heritage and documentary heritage? I know that initiatives have been taken in a number of fields in the country, and I believe similar initiatives have been taken in other countries.
Have any comparisons been drawn, and, if so, how does Canada compare to other countries?
