I'll start off with Colin from Google.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4946356\" data-originallang=\"en\"> I think it was Mr. Long who asked you the question about children and so on, and your answer was quite good, but I want to elaborate on that. It's up to the family unit and so on, but in today's age, I look at latchkey kids and at single-parent families. I look at how busy families are and at basic skills. We're not teaching basic skills like riding bikes, swimming, and things like these, and then I hear that come out.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4946357\" data-originallang=\"en\"> I know Google is a gold standard and things like that, but should there not be some investment in technology, or are you guys investing in something? I know we control alcohol and things like that, which we don't give to our children, but then all of a sudden we give them a box that can.... I don't want to say it can cause more damage, because alcohol and drugs can, but you can cause damage in seconds, whether it's by predators or whether it's by information getting out. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4946358\" data-originallang=\"en\">I just wonder, technology-wise, when we've advanced so far.... You go to some websites and they say, \u201cclick here if you're 18.\u201d You just put in the thing and that's good enough. I don't think that's anywhere near a gold standard, and I really feel that if that's the standard we're leaving to parents, then professionals, people like you, should have some technology or some investment in that.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4946359\" data-originallang=\"en\">I'll leave that with any of you for an answer. </p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"4946355\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je tiens \u00e0 commencer par remercier tous les t\u00e9moins qui comparaissent aujourd'hui. Je vais commencer par Colin, de Google.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4946356\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je crois que c'est M. Long qui vous a pos\u00e9 une question sur les enfants. Votre r\u00e9ponse \u00e9tait tr\u00e8s bonne, mais j'aimerais que vous nous en disiez un peu plus \u00e0 ce sujet. La responsabilit\u00e9 revient \u00e0 l'unit\u00e9 familiale, mais, \u00e0 notre \u00e9poque, il y a tous ces enfants \u00e0 la cl\u00e9 et ces parents monoparentaux. Je sais que les familles sont tr\u00e8s occup\u00e9es et je pense aux comp\u00e9tences de base. Nous n'apprenons plus aux enfants les comp\u00e9tences de base comme faire de la bicyclette, nager et toutes ces choses, puis j'entends parler de ce dont on parle aujourd'hui.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4946357\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je sais que Google est un mod\u00e8le d'excellence, mais ne devrait-on pas investir dans la technologie ou est-ce que vous investissez d\u00e9j\u00e0 dans quelque chose du genre? Je sais que nous contr\u00f4lons l'alcool et des choses du genre, et nous n'en donnons pas \u00e0 nos enfants, mais, ensuite, nous leur donnons soudainement une bo\u00eete qui peut... Je ne dis pas que la technologie peut causer plus de dommages, parce que l'alcool et les drogues sont plus nocifs, mais on peut causer du tort en quelques secondes, que ce soit en raison de pr\u00e9dateurs ou que ce soit parce qu'on communique certains renseignements.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4946358\" data-originallang=\"en\">Du point de vue des technologies, nous avons tellement \u00e9volu\u00e9... On se rend sur certains sites Web et il est \u00e9crit: \u00ab Cliquez ici si vous avez 18 ans \u00bb. On fournit l'information, et c'est suffisant. Selon moi, on est tr\u00e8s loin d'un mod\u00e8le d'excellence, ici, et j'estime vraiment que, si c'est la norme qu'on laisse aux parents, alors les professionnels, les gens comme vous, devraient cr\u00e9er une technologie quelconque ou faire certains investissements \u00e0 cet \u00e9gard.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4946359\" data-originallang=\"en\">N'importe lequel d'entre vous peut r\u00e9pondre.</p>"
