A new Canadian heritage museum – a pet project of outgoing Prime Minister Jean Chretien – won’t cost $90 million as the Prime Minister announced last May; the bill will be at least a third higher. “Officials estimated it will cost $125-million in a letter to the Department of Canadian Heritage prior to the Prime Minister’s announcement. The department had only $90-million to put toward the project, to be built in the century-old Rideau Canal train station near Parliament Hill, so expensive items were taken out of the budget to bring the cost down for the hurried announcement.” However, some of what was taken out was essential to the project – humidity controls, anyone?
