With respect to the ETS, you said that you are trying to find a way for private institutions to have access to services at an affordable price, and so on. On the other hand, it is well known that very few companies offer the kind of quality service that could be had through the ETS. I have been told of two companies in Montreal. I will not mention their name, because I don't want to give them publicity. However, a director of the largest of those companies has said that she could never do it for $1.81, as was the case for the ETS, and that her costs will be much higher. This could have considerable consequences for the regions, because small museums will never be able to pay that kind of fee, unless you increase their budget.
