Mr. Speaker, as important as it is that ministers be accountable for what happens in their areas of responsibility, it is also important that they be given as little discretionary powers as possible based solely on their opinion.
This is extremely dangerous because we do not know on what it is based. If, for example, the wording was: “Following the formation of a research group that will have demonstrated that the minister can use the results and make a decision other than”, it would be different.
The problem is the minister's opinion. No one knows on what a minister's opinion is based when such opinion can be used to justify the use of discretionary powers.
