Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Good afternoon, Mr. Deneault.
I'm going to ask you two questions and I'm going to give you time to answer them in the six minutes I'm allotted.
Until now, the government side has often told us about the benefits of the end purpose, regardless of the premise itself. You have talked about banning the production of data, for example. People have said that there are benefits, without regard to the rest. The situation is trivialized. In fact, the Minister of Health was evasive when I put the question to him.
In the Monde diplomatique, you talked about mediocracy. You have in fact published a book entitled Mediocracy: The Politics of the Extreme Centre. You assessed the topic based on the following elements, among others: education, economy and culture. You mentioned that there was a loss of critical thinking.
Do you believe that this loss of critical thinking is also operative in government?
