We are talking about a policy board, a government-wide institution. I think it should be created by an act of Parliament, in the same way Parliament created other institutions such as Rights and Democracy, the International Institute for Sustainable Development and many others.
We are talking about a place where industry, civil society, the research community, and levels and departments of government would meet. We are not talking about a hundred people in a room doing nothing. These would be working groups and committees that would operate in a transparent and accountable manner and would be representative of their members, just as Mr. Groleau is representing his members here today.
The institution should advise the government, commission research, build consensus and keep everyone on the same wavelength. We will not magically agree on everything overnight, but there are currently very few places where industry, civil society, the government and the research community meet.
