Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank my colleague for his excellent speech. He really put things in perspective this evening.
I, myself, am from Quebec City, where all of the people in the archeology unit, all 43 of them, were laid off. In addition, the government is planning to relocate five million artifacts from Quebec City to Gatineau. I have a hard time believing the goal is to get them into more museums. That does not make sense.
I would like my colleague to comment on that. I get the sense that the government wants to take Canada's history out of its global context and focus on something overly local.
