I fully appreciate the context of what you're saying. If I may add a suggestion, the context in which you explain is a context I've never seen. So obviously I'd have a greater appreciation for that. But the way it's worded makes it seem like this an in-depth study of what is rural and what is regional and what the difficulties are with many of the smaller museums. If you wish, for the sake of time--and I am very interested in hearing the Canadian Museums Association about this, but at the same time I understand what you're saying about context--choose one of the national museums to go to, to illustrate a point. Choose one of the smaller ones--say the Osgoode Township Historical Society and Museum--have a round-table discussion there with people in the industry across this country, if that's the context you are looking for.
