Mr. Speaker, the Minister of Canadian Heritage had no qualms about publicly criticizing the Canada Science and Technology Museum. Now he is washing his hands of the whole matter by saying that he simply gave his opinion.

Since today is International Museum Day, will the government take this opportunity to promise to stop meddling in the exhibit choices of museums?
