Sean, you made me jump when you said that, as an individual, you should be able to... I agree, but we're not there. We're at the stage of finding an ombudsman.
I'm going to try to speak on your behalf, colleagues. The problem we're facing as parliamentarians is to establish an act, regulations, a person on whom there is a consensus. To do that, we can't take the liberty of knocking on the doors of 250,000, 300,000 or 350,000 people. So we have to try to establish a general average.
I'm aware that the laws we make are not fair laws, but they are laws made for the average person. One law will never satisfy the people at the ends of the spectrum. We're trying to make a law that will please most people and that will be fair for most of them.
When we discuss a given file, we have to have a general vision that reflects that of the average person. We think it's increasingly interesting that people come and talk to us after theoretically questioning the members of their associations.
If, for example, you represent 50,000 people from your association, you're speaking on behalf of those 50,000 people. That's why it's important that groups come and meet with us to tell us about what's working and what's not working and so they can tell us their vision for an ombudsman.
I'm clarifying that point because you made me uncomfortable when you said you'd like to speak as an individual. If you want to make comments on the subject, you're welcome.
