Thank you, Mr. Chairman. As noted in the Standing Committee on Finance report and as we stated in our general motion concerning museums and other historical buildings, new capital projects should be delayed in completion of the policy on museum development and substantiation of the costs and benefits. Any development prior to having that report would be premature. The policy in place would be premature because it would not give us the background to assess any proposal.

November 25th, 1992

For those reasons, Mr. Chairman, I move, that the 1993-94 capital estimates of the Department of Education, Culture and Employment Programs under the activity culture for the project museum Norman Wells, in the amount of $250,000 be deleted.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I recognize there is a need for a proper House supported updated policy on museums. There are museum policies in place, although some of them may be vague when it comes to community museum, however, this particular museum in Norman Wells is already in existence. If we are to continue with it and not shut it then there is a very urgent need to replace the flooring. I do not think, whether we develop a new policy on museums or not, this part of the capital requirement for Norman Wells will not be affected. Whether we have a new policy or not the floors still need to be fixed.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I am surprised. That sort of presentation was not made to us at the Standing Committee on Finance. We were not told that there was any policy in place for museums. I would like to point in the 1992-93 Capital Estimates that we deleted $502,000 for expansions to the Prince of Whales Northern Heritage Centre because there was no policy, in spite of the fact we were advised that the fire marshall that the changes be made that would be required here and that some of the changes were to, in fact, safeguard exhibits which were being repatriated to the Northwest Territories. Now, the Department seemed to be able to get by without that happening at that point in time and, as I said, we never heard that this building could not continue to function without the changes that the Standing Committee on Finance reviewed. I am not sure that I am convinced that we should not proceed with this motion Mr. Chairman.
