Museum management defends firing
The management of the Museum of Fine Arts says it knew there would be a fuss when it let Nathalie Bondil go, but it couldn’t ignore the allegations in the external report – which it won’t release – but says it welcomes an investigation from Quebec.
If there’s already been a report, I wonder what else they think they need to find out.

What they may need is political cover. A CAQ government will not be seen as too cosy with the Desmarais. Plus, the government may well support the notion, advanced in La Presse today, that MBAM has neglected its Quebec collections in favor of splashy international shows.

I did wonder if there wasn’t a CAQ-PLQ angle to this story, the Desmarais clan having been so visibly linked with the Liberals over the years. If so, let’s hope that comes out.
