Mr. Speaker, as we all know, the railroad has played a key role in Canada's history.
Yet, as the country's 150th birthday approaches, the Conservatives are refusing to recognize Exporail as a national museum, despite the fact that a report of the Standing Committee on Canadian Heritage recommended that the House recognize it as such in 2007.
Exporail is a source of pride for my riding, the entire region and railroad enthusiasts throughout Canada.
Why are the Conservatives refusing to give this museum the status it deserves?
