Thank you, Mr. Chair.

My thanks to the witnesses for being here today.

The supplementary estimates (B) 2012-2013 show that the Canadian Museum of Human Rights is asking for $46.7 million for building construction, exhibits, set-up and other operating costs for the museum. Since its creation, the museum has received $109.6 million from the Government of Canada. What will these additional funds be used for?
