Thank you, Mr. Chairman. While I am sympathetic with Mr. Gargan and his desire for funding for his church, and I am glad to hear from the other side that he might expect some action from that side in finding a resolution, I am somewhat taken aback of being accused of being a rubber stamp for the government. I think the standing committee on finance spent a considerable amount of time reviewing this document before it came forward to the House, and we did in fact get explanations on everything that is in here. We were convinced, I think, that this was something that was necessary in order to protect the artifacts which are being transferred North. There is no point getting these artifacts in the North where they belong if they are going to have to be stored in cardboard boxes outside. These things are too important. Most of these artifacts will probably wind up being distributed among the regional museums throughout the North, so we have to be able to protect these until the regional museums throughout the North are able take them and display them in places where they should be seen.
I have to agree with Mr. Todd that this is not the appropriate place from which to take the $25,000. I would hope that the government would find some other place.
