Senator Klyne: Thank you for that question. I agree with everything you said in your statement and question.

I wish I could tell you that there is an update. As you might recall, I asked the government, through our Government Representative, to provide us with an update. There was a mandate letter in 2019. It was a very simple mandate that said, “Make the Royal Canadian Mounted Police Heritage Centre a national museum.” That was lost in 2020. I couldn’t find it in anyone’s mandate letter, nor in 2021. But, as I understand it, it’s still a mandate that, nonetheless, was delivered by the Prime Minister. I’m still waiting to hear upon whose desk that lies.

Thank you for reminding us.

(Debate adjourned in the name of Senator Busson.)

(At 4:44 p.m., the Senate was continued until Tuesday, November 29, 2022, at 2 p.m.)

Senator Klyne: Yes.
