Mr. Speaker, I want to congratulate my colleague on toeing his party line so well with that question.
These ministerial positions, which have yet to be named, are meant to support the expansion of any government, whether ours or any future government formed by another party. Thus, there will be no need to change the legislation every time there is a change in cabinet. Needs change over time, and so cabinet must change, too. Why should we have to come back to Parliament every time to make small administrative changes in the executive branch?
As for the regional development agencies, why do we need six ministers all doing the same thing? Is that the kind of job creation the member advocates?
