Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague from Longueuil—Pierre-Boucher, who is an excellent colleague and excellent benchmate.
Indeed, several things could be done. Take, for example, the NDP leadership race that was held this year. We set a rather low limit to be able to run for leader, which meant that we had some very interesting candidates, such as our colleague from Manitoba and some of our younger colleagues, as well as more women and people who normally would never have been able to participate in such a race, in the manner in which politics is usually done.
Some slightly different rules meant that the candidates were much more varied. It is really important to put democracy and politics back in the hands of the people and not just in the hands of those who have money, who already have a lot of power and who buy more power with these loans and this money.
