Thank you, Mr. Villeneuve.
A regulation is certainly not the end of the road. There are also directives. However, directives are below regulations in the hierarchy of legal standards, and they're much easier to amend.
The part VII regulations need to include clear obligations that make it possible, at the end of a process, to know whether the departments and agencies have done their job and whether they have really taken the priorities of stakeholders and communities into account.
It should also be possible to say whether the positive measures selected and implemented by the agencies and departments have an impact on the development and vitality of communities. There has to be the necessary data to demonstrate whether there has indeed been progress toward the established goal. That's what we're supposed to see.
There seems to be a desire here to restrict the regulations' content as much as possible so that, at the end of the day, departments and agencies keep the status quo compared to how things were before.
