Okay.
I was going to touch on the crucial role that the Société des musées du Québec and the Canadian Museums Association play. Suffice it to say, the support is great on that end.
I'll move on to our second recommendation.
It is recommended that the government set up—yet another—organization, one that would have a mandate to support museums and include members of the public. To do this, the organization would identify what the needs of target populations were, as well as recommend which museums should be given funding and how. Such a body would open the door to more insightful thinking by a broader stakeholder community, no longer limited to a select few government employees and museum experts.
The mandate of museums is to serve the public. It is to preserve the collective heritage of our communities, and yet they don't figure anywhere in the process. Nevertheless, it is often the volunteers or friends of the museum who provide that service. Knowing what they want and need matters a lot.
I will stop there. You can find more detailed information in our brief.
Thank you.
