b.                  That the Portrait Gallery of Canada be retained in an appropriate gallery space in Ottawa in accordance with Canada’s Capital Core Area Sector Plan and in accordance with its contribution to Ottawa’s standing as a treasury of the nation’s heritage and a meeting place for all Canadians.
