I thank the member for the question and the comment.
Fair compensation is a relative term. For some Canadians fair compensation has to do with money. Bill C-93 provides for a tax credit mechanism with regard to the treatment or the non-treatment of capital gains. The donors are really getting only about 50 per cent of the equivalent of the fair market value. The donors are not getting in monetary terms fair compensation.
When $60 million worth of artefacts are donated to Canada it must mean there are a lot of Canadians prepared to make those contributions so that all Canadians can enjoy the cultural and heritage artefacts we have.
Their compensation is knowing we live in the best country in the world and that we want to share it with all Canadians and with all who visit our great country.
