The experience was very good

WINNIPEG - Manitoba's official Opposition says the government was "sneaky and underhanded" when it suggested to its Crown corporations that they should donate to the Canadian Museum for Human Rights.
Manitoba Public Insurance, the province's monopoly auto insurer, and the Manitoba Liquor Control Commission, have both donated $1 million for the construction of the museum, which is to be Canada's first national museum outside Ottawa.
Tory Leader Hugh McFadyen says the New Democrats basically directed the Crown agencies to put money into the project.
Premier Gary Doer says he "encouraged" various Crown boards to donate, noting it's something private companies do all the time.
Adrienne Batra of the Canadian Taxpayers' Federation points out Doer is the one who appoints the directors for the boards that oversee the Crowns.
