Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Welcome, Mr. Stilborn.
Your comments were discouraging. You mentioned motivation, but, in a way, you are not motivating us. Honestly, I found your approach very pessimistic.
If I am not mistaken, you said that, for 50 years, no one has understood how the Westminster model works, and that is why reforms are being made. Nothing is working and everyone is frustrated.
But let us look at it a different way. In the current situation, is the Westminster model out of date? Is it our current way of doing politics, using the Westminster model, that is causing us to have a hard time making the reforms that we as parliamentarians want? Is it not rather that fact that we are presently managing such huge budgets, with about the same staff as we have always had, that is preventing us from adequately overseeing those budgets?
To cut to the chase, should we not just have a monarchy, made up of ministers only? Then we could get back to work doing something else.
