The The National Policy of the Rural Lifestyle obliges the engagement of rural areas in regard to their own development. This policy continues to be the building block of social revitalization and diversification of the economy. The rural communities are themselves the best to judge the use of their human resources and the other essential developmental tools of their territory.

This resolve to mobilize serves as the foundation for the committee's update of the policy's action plan. At the same time, the council of mayors supports the actions suggested in the plan in order to help complete its success. This approach by the town councils reflects the spirit in which the general framework of the Policy was applied to the Haute-Gaspésie.
