Mr. Speaker, my colleague the Minister of Canadian Heritage has received numerous amounts of correspondence supporting our government's position.
Let me quote what Jeff Browaty, a Winnipeg city councillor, said:
Why should Canadian citizens contribute to so many national institutions that many have no access to? I applaud the [Prime Minister's] government for declaring the Canadian Museum for Human Rights in Winnipeg as the first national cultural institution located outside the capital.
He went on to say, “I truly believe it will be a magnet for people around the world to learn about human rights”.
