It is a pleasure for me to take questions from the honourable member from the city in which I was born, a very important place for my mother, who is always proud of her home in the Lac-Saint-Jean region, and who wanted all of her children to be born somewhere close to the lake. So I would like to thank the honourable member and former mayor of Roberval for his introduction.
When plans of this type are drawn up, in my opinion, it is essential that they include accountability provisions and set clear, measurable objectives. I asked this question of the people who took part in our consultations. Most, if not all, agreed that it was important to set measurable targets so that we can determine what progress has been made after three, four or five years, depending on the duration of the next phase of the action plan—I expect it will be five years. This will also enable us to check whether the taxpayers' money invested by the government has produced the results we were expecting.
