I think that's a very important question.
The National Gallery of Canada is the only art gallery, or museum, that has a national mandate as set out by the constitution of the gallery. It's extremely important that we make our collections accessible to Canadians from coast to coast to coast, including our productions, programming, expertise and everything we do.
A number of things have been tried over the past years. We have had touring exhibitions and joint projects. All of these things are great examples of what works and what doesn't work. Because we've tried so many things in our long almost 150-year history now, I feel confident that we will very quickly be able to bring our artworks to different art galleries, not only art galleries but artist-run centres, research institutions and universities, so that we may make the collection more accessible, as well as our expertise and programming.
I dream of a gallery that is active throughout the country every year, and not every five years, six years or 10 years. We already have a program called the national outreach program that is only starting up now. Well, it started a year and a half or two years ago now, but it is scaling up. I intend to scale it up very quickly to bring the National Gallery to every Canadian across the country.
