Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague from Sudbury for his speech.
The party in power does say that it consults people and conducts public consultations. However, in my experience, it would seem that there is a rather minimal amount of consultation. Furthermore, bills do not even reflect the views of the people consulted.
When people are consulted, they can tell us what kind of life they want and how they want to structure their society and use their natural resources in order to have a better life.
According to the member for Sudbury, what is the role of public consultations in ensuring that people live well, are happy and achieve social peace? How does he see the consultations?
