Mr. Speaker, I agree with the member for Rosemont—Petite-Patrie that the Conservative member's motion shows a misunderstanding of Quebec's specificity, but that is not all. It also shows a lack of common sense.
We must ensure that those responsible for something are as close as possible to the people they serve. The closer, the better. In Europe, this principle is called subsidiarity.
Here, we should ensure that those responsible for a program are as close as possible to the people so that, if people have something to say, they have access to that person and are able to hold him or her accountable.
