Mr. Speaker, I want to ask a question of the member who made the presentation for the government.
We have the same concern as the colleague of the Conservative Party when it comes to understanding why a second department is needed and justified.
We are trying to understand the real objective that has been announced in connection with the potential effectiveness of the mandate the government wants to give the department.
The government takes one department and divides in into two. When it talks about the objective in connection with the Department of Human Resources, it says that the main concern is contributing to Canada's success. This is in one of the first parts outlined in the beginning.
As for the new Department of Social Development, it is difficult to understand the real objective, but the chair of the Sub-Committee on Children and Youth at Risk said that the objective is to have the public and history remember the Liberal government. This is a quote. I am trying to reconcile this with the member's announced intention to improve services provided to the public.
I will conclude by reminding the House that, as it creates two departments, the government is announcing that it will maintain a single window. Services will be provided through a single door. It does not change anything in this regard. However, it is adding a second head.
I would like to know how she thinks that it will be able to ensure that this body functions with two heads.
