The Norwegian or Swedish Prime Minister\u2014I can't remember which\u2014was asked about why they didn't have a sustainable development committee. \u201cWe do,\u201d he said. \u201cIt's called the cabinet\u201d. So in a sense I agree with you. I think responsibility for a national strategy, if it really means something, has to be assumed by the leader of the government.

Donc, dans un sens, je suis d'accord avec vous. J'estime que la responsabilit\u00e9 d'une strat\u00e9gie nationale, si l'on souhaite qu'elle ait vraiment un sens, doit \u00eatre assum\u00e9e par le chef du gouvernement. Cette responsabilit\u00e9 doit \u00eatre confi\u00e9e au BCP.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1078247\" data-originallang=\"en\">Si j'h\u00e9site encore un peu, c'est parce que je pense qu'il serait possible de confier cette responsabilit\u00e9 au minist\u00e8re des Finances, en raison de l'\u00e9troite collaboration entre le minist\u00e8re des Finances et\u2026</p>"
