I know this is hypothetical and you did not necessarily have this in mind in your audit, but I'm wondering whether we could consider the creation of a historical society or organization that would take care of Canada's heritage properties, somewhat like what is done in England or in France. Those countries attach a great deal of importance to the conservation and enhancement of heritage buildings. That can be done by using public funds, but also through other quite creative funding arrangements.
It seems to me that the government as such has the obligation to take care of these properties for the generations to come.
Because Parks Canada is so much a part of this discussion, it also goes to our environmental heritage and what we should preserve for future generations.
Would it be something for us to consider, as a committee, to recommend to the government?
