I would agree with your statement.
I don't know how many of you have ever tried to close a school in somebody's neighbourhood. I can tell you that I have lots of experience in doing that. Parents and communities will do a tremendous amount to try to save their schools. They have recourse against a level of government, which school boards are, to the courts, and they make use of it—trust me, I can attest to it.
However, what you're saying, then, on the bigger scale, is that that ability isn't available to the community as a whole, as it is affected as a whole. That's not acceptable, that one level of government is not allowed to be questioned on whatever program, for whatever reason, it has decided to put into place in law. We need the ability to challenge ourselves in order to ensure that what we're doing is best for everybody.
