However, the real question is this: what is his responsibility as justice minister vis-\u00e0-vis an order of Parliament, which we have issued? </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"815617\" data-originallang=\"en\">Basically we have the authority to ask. He's saying he hasn't got the authority to vary and yet, in fact, the surrender order under which Mr. Schrieber is currently being held is signed by the Minister of Justice and can be only changed by the Minister of Justice. It's prima facie. There's no question he can, in my opinion, vary his order. It has nothing to do with the Extradition Act.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"815618\" data-originallang=\"en\">The committee is going to have to instruct me or, in a report to the House, instruct the parliamentary counsel, the law clerk, to give us the layout, but given the velocity of events here....</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"815619\" data-originallang=\"en\">Now on the Speaker's warrant, could we leave that until we have Mr. Martin--</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"815615\" data-originallang=\"en\">Non, non...</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"815616\" data-originallang=\"en\">Si vous le permettez, monsieur Walsh, la Loi sur l'extradition ne dit probablement rien des responsabilit\u00e9s, des pouvoirs, des droits et des privil\u00e8ges du ministre de la Justice. Cependant, la question qu'il faut vraiment r\u00e9gler est la suivante: quelle responsabilit\u00e9 assume-t-il \u00e0 titre de ministre de la Justice face \u00e0 un ordre du Parlement, que nous avons \u00e9mis?</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"815617\" data-originallang=\"en\">Essentiellement, nous avons comp\u00e9tence pour demander cela. Il affirme qu'il n'est pas autoris\u00e9 \u00e0 modifier l'arr\u00eat\u00e9, mais, de fait, l'arr\u00eat\u00e9 d'extradition qui permet actuellement de d\u00e9tenir M. Schreiber porte la signature du ministre de la Justice et peut uniquement \u00eatre modifi\u00e9 par le ministre de la Justice. C'est sa responsabilit\u00e9, \u00e0 premi\u00e8re vue. Il ne fait aucun doute qu'il peut, \u00e0 mon avis, modifier son arr\u00eat\u00e9. Cela n'a rien \u00e0 voir avec la Loi sur l'extradition. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"815618\" data-originallang=\"en\">Le comit\u00e9 devra me donner pour consigne, sinon donner pour consigne au conseiller parlementaire, au l\u00e9giste, dans un rapport \u00e0 la Chambre, d'en dessiner les contours, mais \u00e9tant donn\u00e9 la vitesse \u00e0 laquelle les choses se produisent ici...</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"815619\" data-originallang=\"en\">Bon, pour la question du mandat du Pr\u00e9sident de la Chambre, pourrions-nous mettre cela de c\u00f4t\u00e9 jusqu'\u00e0 ce que M. Martin...</p>"
