Mr. Lavoie, you need to invite me back to the committee. I gave a wonderful speech to the New York City Bar on this topic last March.
The rule of law has been replaced by the rule of whim. I don't have a good word in French for that, so I'll leave it to the interpreters.
At the end of the day, we can't predict weather, and we can't predict what's going to take place. Everything is based on a tweet on Truth Social. Our problem is that we need to understand that it's about leverage. It's about a different type of policy, a different type of approach, and we're still playing the old game.
That's where I differ with the honourable minister, because he's doing a job working on the old game, and I understand why. At the same time, we must also be preparing a strategy for the new game, and I fear that we are not doing that. I especially fear that we are missing out on the innovation economy, which is at the heart of our economy today across this country. I fear that we will lose that because we're not prepared for that, and that would be a terrible tragedy.
