Mr. Chair, let the record show not one reference was made to one organization in Newfoundland and Labrador, which is where this member comes from and where my constituents have their concerns.
I want to point out that the Corner Brook Museum & Archives, the Grand Falls-Windsor Heritage Society Inc., the Nurse Myra Bennett Foundation, the Bonne Bay Cottage Hospital Museum and the Dr. Henry N. Payne Community Museum are all shutting in 14 days unless there is specific action by the government.
The government has failed us. It has failed our culture. It has failed our history. Will it fail the people of Canada? Has there been a decision by the Department of Canadian Heritage to put in place a contingency program, and no dialogue or rhetoric about whether it will talk to the stakeholders? In fourteen days they will be shutting down. Is there a plan in place, yes or no?
