Il est important que l'on agisse de façon responsable

Why do you need to put "l" before on" in this question? 

Why can't the sentence read "Il est important q'on agisse de façon?"

Julie,

it is an optional euphonic article. Using ‘ … qu’on .. ‘ is fine and standard in most everyday situations ( there is a small typo in your question ).
