That s why the social media giant is welcoming ongoing work by the federal Liberal government to roll out a plan, Kevin Chan told the House of Commons heritage committee.

But it says national museums are expected to hold the highest standards of respect, healthy working relationships and inclusion, and that the federal government has zero tolerance for harassment in the workplace.
The museum’s CEO Mark O Neill has been on a medical leave since last summer when the investigation began.
His lawyer David Law says O’Neill has been completely co-operative with the process and would not comment on the report or allegations about O Neill s conduct.
The Gatineau, Que., museum’s board of trustees says the matter is now in the hands of Heritage Minister Steven Guilbeault and that it is fully committed to ensuring a safe, inclusive and diverse workplace.
