Supporters of Nathalie Bondil say the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts flourished under her leadership. "It's great if the museum shines, but if it doesn't shine on the inside, that's bad," de la Chenelière said. De la Chenelière said he couldn't go into detail about the psychological harassment allegations because they are confidential, but he said they were "very troubling." De la Chenelière said Dailey-Desmarais was hired because of her qualifications — she has a PhD in art history from Yale University — and not because of her family connection. The name Desmarais is her husband's name, and she has all the qualities necessary to do this job," said de la Chenelière.
