I will simply say that this motion looks to have us as parliamentarians micromanaging the day-to-day affairs and decisions of curators and other officials running a national museum, including the board of trustees, whose chair you are asking to attend. I can imagine what life would be like for them if we did this all the time on all sorts of things.
I think the role of government is to hire the officials to do that work. We do have an opportunity when they are appointed to have them in to assess them. I have seen nothing to suggest that in making the decision, they did not follow their policy on de-accessioning. I have heard nothing to suggest that their policies are severely wanting. I do not think it's appropriate for us to be backseat driving and micromanaging the day-to-day operations of any of Canada's national museums.
