I was saying that trust is one of the pillars of a real democracy. A social contract connects the public with the political leaders, the elected representatives. That trust is fundamental. The more it's undermined, the more people feel entitled to do what they want.
The behaviour we have seen in recent weeks in Canada is the reflection of a problem of trust. If we want solidarity in society and we want people to observe the laws and the regulations, even though they may not like them, there has to be a very strong bond of trust between the people and their political leaders.
Without that trust, how do we plan to maintain people's allegiance to political institutions?
