Well I put in my twenty minutes: the 1-800 number gets you to someone who
has no idea what you are talking about. I was also referred to Susan
Murdoch who was in a meeting and then to Kent O'Connor who was pleasantly
patronizing, and kept saying that the $5 million that is supposed to help
museums is not to compensate for the HRDC cuts (I'm sure someone said that
the $5 million was specifically to compensate for the HRDC cuts) but is just
to help us out, but they have not decided when, and it will be going through
the YCW program at CMA.
As for HRDC, the Minister of Veteran's Affairs (no idea why him) announced
last week that all the organizations across the country that have been cut
will be funded. Odd that no one has followed up on that with an
announcement. I think the government is falling apart.

Thanks for your suggestion regarding phoning Minister Oda and the PM, Lee
Boyko. I tried phoning on Victoria Day when I wasn't working myself.
Neither number you gave will afford an opportunity to leave a message after
hours unless a 'mailbox number' is supplied.
I had none.
This morning, at 11am Ottawa time, I tried Minister Oda's phone number. I
was redirected to a gentleman who redirected me to Lyn Elliot Sherwood (819
997 7774) who is, apparently "in charge of museums", and thence, as she was
not in her office, to Susan Murdoch (997 8756) who was not in her office
either and whose answering machine clicked off as I started to speak. The
process took twenty minutes.
There is a toll free number: 1 800 720 0994. Ask for the local 819 or ask
to speak to Lyn (Elliot) Sherwood... My receptionist found her name listed
under Sherwood, not Elliot.
I hope you all have better luck than I did.

Hi Everyone,
I would like to encourage all of you to pick up your phones and call the
following two numbers:
(613) 992-2792 This is Minister Oda's phone number
(613) 992-4211 This is Prime Minister Harpers number
Call them, even if after hours and leave a message.
Simply ask them what is happening with the announced summer student funding
for museums? Many museum that have traditionally been supported by the
exisiting summer student programs have heard in the past few days that they
are getting nothing this year.
Add your personal stories.
Cheers
Lee Boyko
