In the interest of moving forward here, I think this is an honest attempt to respond to the fact that we have included democratic promotion, which government members were anxious to see happen, and are now trying to define democracy, as I understand it.
My question to government members is, in the spirit of trying to find some consensus, are you agreeable to the suggested change by Monsieur Patry that “democracy includes but is not limited to”, or «notamment», en français? I think you're saying you don't consider it perfect, but maybe it's a reasonable consensus that we could achieve so we could move forward.
