I would merely like him to say if he agrees with my statement that it is nothing more or less than deregulation. It is based on an ideology that favours the free market, quite often at the expense of the people to be served. To repeat the expression he himself used, service for those who live in rural areas will go out the window.</p>",

J'aimerais simplement qu'il nous dise s'il est d'accord avec l'affirmation que je fais que ce n'est ni plus ni moins que de la d\u00e9r\u00e9glementation. Cela est bas\u00e9 sur une id\u00e9ologie o\u00f9 on privil\u00e9gie le libre march\u00e9, tr\u00e8s souvent au d\u00e9pens des personnes que l'on doit desservir. Pour utiliser une expression qu'il a utilis\u00e9e lui-m\u00eame, finalement, les gens vivant en milieu rural, en particulier, vont en prendre pour leur rhume. </p>"
