What you are basically saying, Mr. Larouche, is that had there been no lobbying, nothing would have happened, because that is your way of getting your message across and ensuring the vitality of the French language in the health care sector.
In light of that realization — if you consider the argument used to justify the recent budget cuts, which was that lobbying only wastes taxpayers' money — one can assume that had there been no lobbying, for you, no progress would have been possible and the status quo would simply have been maintained. So, it's as a result of that network and lobbying activity that you were able to make advances, look towards the future and try to improve the situation for your communities.
