You have identified a problem that exists with these large science facilities and projects in Canada. Over the years they have often been developed regionally, in a decentralized way, and funded and owned in a variety of different mechanisms. Some of them do not have ongoing major challenges with operating and maintenance; those you don't hear about, but you certainly do hear about the ones that do.
Most countries--in fact, all our competitor countries--have now developed an overall process or structure to handle their major investments in science and technology. In fact, with that in mind, the granting councils, the National Research Council and CFI, are addressing the problem--not the solutions, but at least they are identifying what the problems are, which facilities come in under this classification, and how other countries approach them.
