"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"3252708\" data-originallang=\"en\">Probably in talking to the person complained against, it might come to light. They might not even realize they had contravened another section. Just looking at the act I might see some other thing that ought to be dealt with. It could happen in a number of ways. It doesn't happen that frequently, but it does happen from time to time.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3252709\" data-originallang=\"en\">You were also concerned about reporting on the examination. The rule is I must release a report on an examination in all cases, but in the case of an examination I have initiated myself, I can discontinue that without issuing a report. If I discontinue one that was requested, I must issue a report.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3252710\" data-originallang=\"en\">I think there's quite a rational reason for that because if I self-initiate something that nobody has requested, and I find there's nothing to it, then why would I put out something and suggest where there's smoke there's fire? Usually those things come to me from the media or from private citizens. In some cases I would not release a report, but those are the only cases. If a member or a senator requested it, a report would come out.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"3252708\" data-originallang=\"en\">Cela peut \u00eatre mis au jour lorsqu'on parle \u00e0 la personne vis\u00e9e par la plainte. Il se peut qu'elle ne r\u00e9alise m\u00eame pas qu'elle a contrevenu \u00e0 un autre article. Je peux trouver d'autres \u00e9l\u00e9ments sur lesquels il faut me pencher, et ce, simplement en examinant la loi. C'est quelque chose qui peut se produire d'un certain nombre de fa\u00e7ons, pas souvent, mais de temps en temps.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3252709\" data-originallang=\"en\">Vous aviez \u00e9galement des pr\u00e9occupations au sujet du fait de rendre public l'examen. La r\u00e8gle, c'est que pour tous les dossiers, je dois publier un rapport sur l'examen, mais dans le cas d'un examen que j'ai moi-m\u00eame lanc\u00e9, je peux annuler le tout sans publier de rapport. Si je mets fin \u00e0 un examen qu'on m'a demand\u00e9 de faire, je dois en publier un.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3252710\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je pense qu'il y a une raison valable, parce que si j'entreprends un examen que personne ne m'a demand\u00e9 de faire et que je d\u00e9couvre qu'il n'y a rien, pourquoi est-ce que je publierais quelque chose et que je laisserais entendre qu'il n'y a pas de fum\u00e9e sans feu? Habituellement, ce sont les m\u00e9dias ou de simples citoyens qui me rapportent ces choses. Dans certains cas, je ne publie pas de rapport, mais ce sont les seuls. Si la demande provient d'un d\u00e9put\u00e9 ou d'un s\u00e9nateur, un rapport est publi\u00e9.</p>"
