If I understood you correctly, you said that the role of government needs to change and that there are other governments that have been ahead of us over the last 25 years, yet you've said that it's not too late. It can be fixed and it can be changed. Can you expand on what needs to change and how we can fix it, if indeed that's the issue?</p>",

Si je vous ai bien compris, vous avez dit que le r\u00f4le du gouvernement doit changer et que d'autres gouvernements nous devancent depuis 25 ans. Vous dites toutefois qu'il n'est pas trop tard, que nous pouvons corriger la situation et changer les choses. Pouvez-vous en dire plus sur ce qui doit changer et sur la fa\u00e7on de r\u00e9soudre le probl\u00e8me, s'il s'agit bien d'un probl\u00e8me?</p>"
