"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"2236459\" data-originallang=\"en\">We're expecting WikiLeaks to release some 270,000 documents. A limited number of these documents--a bit more than 2,000--relate specifically to Canada-U.S. relations. There may be mention of Canada in hundreds of thousands of documents. Will those references be relevant to Canada's foreign relations, or are we just being mentioned in passing--Canada was at the table? Or will they be specifically about what some of our heads of mission may have said or about some of the discussions we may have had with foreign countries? That remains to be seen. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2236460\" data-originallang=\"en\">Depending on the issues, there may be a very significant interest in questioning the government about some current and past policies. Or there may not be. I'm in no position to tell you if it will represent hundreds of thousands of pages of requests or no requests at all. My assumption is that there will be a demand for this, given the size of the leak. </p>",

Ou encore, ces documents porteront-ils sur les propos pr\u00e9cis de certains de nos chefs de mission ou sur certaines des discussions que nous pourrions avoir tenues avec des pays \u00e9trangers? Cela reste \u00e0 voir. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2236460\" data-originallang=\"en\">Selon les enjeux, il pourrait y avoir un int\u00e9r\u00eat tr\u00e8s marqu\u00e9 pour ce qui est d'interroger le gouvernement sur certaines des politiques actuelles et pass\u00e9es. Ou peut-\u00eatre que non. Je n'ai aucun moyen de savoir si cela repr\u00e9sentera des demandes de centaines de milliers de pages ou non. Je suppose qu'il y aura des demandes \u00e0 ce sujet, en raison de l'ampleur de la fuite d'information. </p>"
