Similarly, a task force was created in 1990 to examine the development and care of various military history collections in Canada. The terms of reference of the task force were expanded, with the consent of DND, to study the facilities, needs, and other requirements of the Canadian Forces museum system. While the care and maintenance of priceless military artifacts in regimental museums improved because of the recommendations in the task force report, much remains to be done. Thus, the CFFM recommends that the museum study currently under way also include military museums managed by DND.
In conclusion, we thank the committee again for inviting the Canadian Federation of Friends of Museums to attend the hearing, and we sincerely wish you the very best in this important undertaking.
Thank you.
