I support the recommendation. In response to Mr. Jean's comments, these recommendations are important, and rightly so, because we see how the current ministers are acting. We note that the current government's strong tendency is to centralize everything in the hands of certain ministers who can make decisions. We are seeing just how close certain ministers are to lobbies or groups that have a direct influence on the minister's decision. That's why, in seeing the current ministers, we think that more specific interests need to be added. We are talking about the stability and the best interests of the Canadian economy, but I don't see how we are reducing the decision-making authority of the minister; we are just supporting the ministers backed by the lobbies. Let's keep the language fairly general, in the best interests of Canadians.
