This program is application driven. Mr. Del Mastro may be privy to the fact that there are lapses in the program; museums certainly are not.
In five minutes there are only so many points we can speak to. One of them is that I am a full-time museum director, and the things I talk about that we do, we do with three staff.
Many of the institutions in the territory—which is the reason Rebecca is here—are small, seasonal museums. They haven't got the capacity to even apply to MAP. The process for applying to MAP is quite stringent, which it ought to be. There is a requirement for transparency and accountability, but museums don't know that it's underfunded.
This year, in spite of Minister Oda's ongoing commitment when she was in opposition to the idea that there would be a new museum strategy and better programs, the response to applications was ten weeks later than in normal years. So after having applied to MAP the previous November, you find out in July that you get funding and have to spend it by March 31. I think there's lots of room for ongoing improvement and for funding in that program.
