Legislation Introduced to Create Canadian Museum for Human Rights

The Canadian government has introduced a bill in the House of Commons to establish the Canadian Museum for Human Rights (CMHR) in Winnipeg.

The new museum, the brainchild of the late media tycoon Izzy Asper, will be a Crown Corporation like other national museums such as the Canadian Museum of Civilization and the National Gallery of Canada.

The CMHR already has a website describing the project.
