I'm a Canadian citizen like everyone else. I'm trying to follow what's going on and understand it. I think that there are some fundamental decisions being made right now. That doesn't mean it solves everything, but I think there are things that seem desirable to me.
At the same time, I'm thinking of the fund we were talking about earlier. The devil is in the details, as they say. We need to determine how it will be managed, how it will be structured, and so on. This idea of setting up a fund, if we don't do it, I think we're refusing to give ourselves the right tools to ensure the country's development. Now, we have to determine how it will be managed, how it will be done.
I will close by saying that Hydro‑Québec has been a driving force for Quebec for 75 years because it has been well managed. I know Crown corporations like Hydro‑Québec. For example, I've seen plenty in sub-Saharan Africa that were white elephants and never succeeded, neither in generating revenue for the state nor in providing a decent electricity service to the people.
It's not enough to have public institutions; they have to be sound and well managed.
