Statement made on 17 June 2009 by Senator Catherine Callbeck
Hon. Catherine S. Callbeck:
Honourable senators, my question is to the Leader of the Government in the Senate. Last year, the government cancelled the Exhibit Transportation Service, which helps small museums and galleries receive exhibits without paying huge shipping costs. It was a cost-recovery freight program run by the federal government. The trucks were climate controlled and the drivers well trained in the transportation of the artifacts. However, despite the fact that the small museums and galleries depended on this program, it was discontinued. Why did the government cancel this program?
