The Canadian Museum for Human Rights - Keeping focused on the goal in stormy seas

Gail Asper spoke to the Laurier Club today about the Canadian Museum for Human Rights. She talked about the importance of keeping focused on the goal of getting the Museum built and operating in the middle of stormy seas.

All along the way, the Canadian Museum of Human Rights has had to grow in turbulent times. One of the first major challenges came when Israel Asper died. Gail Asper, and many others who worked with her, kept focused on moving forward. Today, in the middle of an election there is uncertainty as to what party will form the next federal governmentm, and as a result, more uncertainty with respect to a number of other critical matters.

But Gail Asper is staying focused and she asks all of us, of whatever political persuasion, to stay focused on the critical goal of getting the Museum built and operating. The important thing to remember is that there are many people who are in solid support of the Canadian Museum of Human Rights, and we all need to pull together to get the job done.
