I think you draw an easy conclusion to a number of the premises you're putting forward, Mr. Lawton. The first one we need to disabuse ourselves of is what my role is in telling a museum, which is indeed a portfolio organization, what to do or what not to do. There is a board that has the capacity to define policy, specifically, on dealing with human rights.
Also, I think you would agree with me that it is important to protect members of the LGBT community, including the younger members of it who are in the process of questioning who are they are, and making sure that their human rights are respected.
Again, that's more editorial to something that is more fundamental, which is that museums do not have policy dictated to them by the Canadian government.
