If there is going to be a single legacy to mark the 150th anniversary of the conference in Charlottetown that led to Confederation, the city would like it to be a provincial museum.

The idea of a central P.E.I.museum has been bouncing around for years, but the current position of the provincial government is it can't afford one.

"I know that the province has said we are not going to get a provincial museum. Nobody is," said Charlottetown Mayor Clifford Lee.

"But we weren't going to let that set aside and then discover some other municipality was given a provincial museum because Charlottetown didn't indicate it in its wish list. So if there is a museum, that is our number one ask."

A group recently came forward to suggest the legacy for 2014 be moving the provincial Supreme Court back to its historic home in the Coles Building next to Province House. That would require building a new office building for MLAs.

Lee said he didn't think there would be much support for that idea.

Health Minister Doug Currie recently made a comment on social media saying, as an elected MLA, he doesn't support that plan as a legacy of the Charlottetown Conference sesquicentennial. When questioned further by reporters this week he would only say that he felt several legacy options should be considered.
