"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"3188323\" data-originallang=\"en\">Thank you, Chair. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3188324\" data-originallang=\"en\">I would remind Mr. Conacher that Rob Ford had the due process of the court in the deliberations, whereas all of the power of the investigation and the adjudication in the administration of this piece of legislation that you're commenting on today lies solely within the discretion of one individual commissioner. Notwithstanding that, I will continue on with my line of questioning.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3188325\" data-originallang=\"en\">I'm quite interested in some of the things that Ms. Turnbull had to say. You compared Canada's legislation and codes with that in other countries that we would consider to be our peers when it comes to the level of democracy.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3188326\" data-originallang=\"en\"> What are the other standards that you compared us to? Did you compare us to G-7 and G-8 countries? What have your studies shown us so far? Where have you gone?</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"3188323\" data-originallang=\"en\">Merci, monsieur le pr\u00e9sident.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3188324\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je rappellerais \u00e0 M. Conacher que Rob Ford a pu b\u00e9n\u00e9ficier d'un proc\u00e8s juste et \u00e9quitable devant un tribunal, alors que tous les pouvoirs d'enqu\u00eate et de d\u00e9cision dans l'administration de la loi que vous commentez aujourd'hui sont laiss\u00e9s \u00e0 la discr\u00e9tion d'une seule et unique commissaire. Quoi qu'il en soit, je vais poursuivre avec mes questions.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3188325\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mme Turnbull a dit certaines choses que j'ai trouv\u00e9 fort int\u00e9ressantes. Vous avez compar\u00e9 nos lois et nos codes \u00e0 ceux d'autres pays que l'on pourrait consid\u00e9rer comme nos pairs en mati\u00e8re de d\u00e9mocratie.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3188326\" data-originallang=\"en\">Quels autres crit\u00e8res de comparaison avez-vous utilis\u00e9s? Avez-vous examin\u00e9 notre situation par rapport \u00e0 celle des pays du G7 et du G8? Qu'est-ce que vos \u00e9tudes ont d\u00e9montr\u00e9 jusqu'\u00e0 maintenant? \u00c0 quels pays vous \u00eates-vous int\u00e9ress\u00e9e?</p>"
