Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank the member, who has just given us a very interesting virtual tour of the museum.
A member mentioned earlier that there were local museums in his community. We all have historical societies in our communities that recount Canada's history.
The member then asked, given that the Canadian Museum of Civilization fulfills the mandate of telling Canada's history, just as the Canadian War Museum, the Canadian Museum of Science and Technology, and all the local museums do as well, what possible purpose could be served by changing the role of a major popular museum—the Canadian Museum of Civilization—whose very broad mandate is to assist and support local museums? How could this government provide more assistance to the local museums that recount our history while supporting the Canadian Museum of Civilization?
