translate English to French: The purpose of these controls and of the appeal's process to the Canadian Cultural Property Export Review Board is to create a time-frame during which Canadian institutions are given the opportunity to acquire significant items of cultural property that would otherwise leave Canada.
De telles acquisitions, facilitées par le programme de subventions aux biens culturels mobiliers du ministère du Patrimoine canadien, permettent de garder d'importants objets au Canada, dans l'intérêt de l'ensemble des canadiens.
