Mr. Speaker, when the member referred to the gifts and income tax book he was rather selective in his reading. I wonder why the member did not bother to inform Canadians on how cultural property is actually certified. I wonder if he would be willing to read into the record exactly how they are certified, just so that he does not mislead Canadians into thinking that it is a free for all for everybody and anybody can give anything to any cultural institution.
Would he be willing to read the paragraph on page 18, so as not to mislead Canadians, and the first two paragraphs on page 19, so that Canadians are fully informed? As usual, I find that the Reform Party is rather selective in what it chooses to read out of transcripts.
I reassure the Reform Party that it will secure its place in museums beside the extinct species, with the dodo bird and the dinosaurs.
The member's discourse is somewhat limited in nature. When he was quoting from Mr. McAvity, who is executive director of the Canadian Museums Association, he was very limited in the quotes he chose. Mr. McAvity went on to say that they are the voice of 2,000 museums.
