--and Delson was recognized as the national collection for railways in Canada. It received some operating support--I'm going to say it was roughly $100,000, or something like that, per year. Gone. History. Toast. The program was cancelled and the funding was cut. The same thing happened with the Maritime Museum. There were a series of specialized institutions.
So they receive no extraordinary support from the federal government. They are an excellent example of the type of institution we're talking about. They would get project funding: they might get money to help with the roof; they might get money to help with the collections and so on.
But in all cases, the amount of money that goes from the federal government to museums is a very small percentage--if any percentage at all.
