I think it's very relevant that you bring this to the committee. You have also encouraged this committee to actually sit down and address those issues, those egregious violations of access to information laws by this Conservative government. I think it's important testimony that you have brought forward today.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2520002\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Madam Chair, we have seen some members of this committee engage in a kind of a witch hunt when it comes to CBC. Yet we now see that violations of that kind are committed regularly by the government.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2520003\" data-originallang=\"fr\">I would like to know whether our witness finds that some government employees have used intimidation tactics and perhaps threatened his organization with legal proceedings if the government's violations of the Access to Information Act were brought to light.</p>",

Je crois que c'est tr\u00e8s pertinent d'en parler \u00e0 notre comit\u00e9. Vous avez \u00e9galement incit\u00e9 le comit\u00e9 \u00e0 examiner ces questions et \u00e0 s'attaquer aux cas scandaleux de violation des lois sur l'acc\u00e8s \u00e0 l'information par le gouvernement conservateur. Je crois que le t\u00e9moignage que vous faites devant nous aujourd'hui est important. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2520002\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Madame la pr\u00e9sidente, on a vu certains membres de ce comit\u00e9 se livrer \u00e0 un genre de chasse aux sorci\u00e8res \u00e0 l'\u00e9gard de Radio-Canada. Or on voit maintenant que du c\u00f4t\u00e9 du gouvernement, des violations ont lieu r\u00e9guli\u00e8rement relativement \u00e0 ces questions.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2520003\" data-originallang=\"fr\">J'aimerais demander \u00e0 notre t\u00e9moin s'il trouve qu'il y a eu un genre d'intimidation de la part de certains employ\u00e9s du gouvernement et si ces derniers ont menac\u00e9 son organisation de poursuites judiciaires au cas o\u00f9 des questions concernant ces violations en mati\u00e8re d'acc\u00e8s \u00e0 l'information de la part du gouvernement \u00e9taient soulev\u00e9es.</p>"
