Mr. Speaker, I would like to ask a question of the hon. member, but he has disappeared.
The nature of Canadians is to give and support institutions within their communities, both at the lower level and to the senior levels of the museum chain. A country is known by its culture, not by its material aspects, and what it leaves behind for the world. Little by little the artefacts have been gathered together by small museums at the local level, the provincial level and the national level.
Does the hon. member feel strongly that the bill will ensure that those who give those valuable artefacts whether to museums or to art galleries would be given fair compensation under the rules of the Income Tax Act as the bill is presently written?
