Thank you very much for the question.
Mr. Chair, we did not ask Canadians if they thought that the mandate should be changed. Our view was that the government had introduced a bill in the House, that there is the likelihood of the bill becoming the law of the land. We felt that it was important to talk to Canadians about the kinds of things that they would like to see in their new history museum. We wanted to learn more about how Canadians might engage in the museum, and the kinds of things that they thought might be important.
In the public consultations there were a number of Canadians who participated. There certainly were museologists and content experts.
