Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
Good morning and thank you for being here. Thank you for the patience you showed while we debated Mr. Coderre's excellent motion.
Mr. Lafontaine, you talked about the type of agreement. You said that it was adapted to certain communities, but, week after week, we've heard various community representatives tell us that they are a one-size-fits-all proposition. In fact, I would say that one of the two or three main criticisms was that people had the impression the federal government was imposing a rigid framework and had decided that it would be the same thing for everyone.
You don't appear to share that view. Can you explain to me why?
