It's a great question.
Let me say that it's always been a fundamental philosophy we have had that large learn from small, and small learn from large. I would say that above all, in Quebec, your smaller institutions are incredibly creative and have much to teach the world. There are different reasons that I think this is so, but maybe we won't go into them.
In fact, one of the Canadian leaders—and I stress the word Canadian—here in Toronto came from the Musée d'art de Joliette. It's not tiny, but it's not Quebec City. She is really one of the great leaders in the province of Ontario. In fact, I would say that Quebec is almost a searching ground for talent for the rest of the country, even in places where bilingualism isn't a requirement, but where people are looking for talent. I would like to underline that.
We work for small museums everywhere. We've written a set of books. We feel that these books are almost equally applicable. Planification de nos musées was the very first one. It was published in French in 1983. The financial challenge for Canadians, and I believe for Québécois as well—and it's also probably also true in Nunavut—is that these are private-public financial opportunities. This is Canada and we need the leadership of government. When government shows consistent leadership, I believe the private sector will step forward with support. That would really be my advice.
The problem now is that most monies going to museums are episodic, and that's a very bad basis on which to go to the private sector for support.
