This is a fundamental issue of our democracy, a fundamental issue of transparency. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3949455\" data-originallang=\"en\">I think it's time to stop playing with the puck and be serious about her role. She has about $37,000 left. What does that mean? I think it's only fair for our committee to do its due diligence and do its job: recognize the seriousness of the witnessing we've had today and recommend that the government give some money to this important office.</p>",

Il s'agit d'un enjeu fondamental pour notre d\u00e9mocratie, d'une question fondamentale de transparence.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3949455\" data-originallang=\"en\">Il est temps, je pense, de cesser de tergiverser et de prendre son r\u00f4le au s\u00e9rieux. Il lui reste \u00e0 peu pr\u00e8s 37 000 $. Qu'est-ce que cela signifie? Je crois que notre comit\u00e9 se doit de faire son travail en reconnaissant la gravit\u00e9 des t\u00e9moignages que nous avons entendus aujourd'hui et en recommandant au gouvernement de donner de l'argent \u00e0 ce bureau important.</p>"
