hostile witness

Описание: November 19, 2025 – Standing Committee on Canadian Heritage (CHPC) Meeting No. 14
The $14 MILLION missing art scandal just got its day in court – and it's getting vicious. In a packed CHPC hearing, MPs tore into Canadian Heritage officials over the "disappeared" national treasures: 1,200+ artworks, artifacts, and historical pieces (updated inventory count) valued at $14M, vanished from federal collections over the last decade with zero accountability.
Witnesses from the Department of Canadian Heritage and the National Gallery got hammered: Shoddy inventory systems, "untraceable" loans to private galleries, and a bombshell Auditor General report slamming "systemic negligence" that could expose taxpayers to massive lawsuits. But here's the twist – the study itself is under fire, with Liberals challenging the $14M valuation as "inflated" and Conservatives demanding heads roll for what they call a "cultural heist." Bloc MPs raged over Quebec's lost Indigenous artifacts, while NDP pushed for a full forensic audit. Officials dodged with "ongoing reviews," but the room erupted: Is this incompetence or a deliberate cover-up?
From stolen First Nations carvings to "misplaced" Group of Seven sketches, this isn't just lost art – it's erased history. With $2.5B in heritage funding on the line (Budget 2025), MPs vowed no more blank cheques until the vault's cracked open.
Drop a 🎨 if $14M in national treasures vanishing has you furious.
