We're always prepared to have people come to committee, whether they be advisers within our own party or people who, like Mark Carney, are advising the Liberal government. At the end of the day, we have to remember that this is somebody who not only is advising the <a data-HoCid=\"214296\" href=\"/politicians/justin-trudeau/\" title=\"Justin Trudeau\">Prime Minister</a> but wants to be the Prime Minister. It's a bit disingenuous for the Liberals to compare apples to oranges and say, well, we want this person, we want this person and they should all come here. That's not Conservative logic. Conservatives have no problem with bringing people who have something to say and something to offer to the debate.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8612750\" data-originallang=\"en\"> At the end of the day, it's my view that people like Mr. Carney should be here. He wants to become Prime Minister someday. That's his prerogative. He wants to advise the Liberal government, to be the de facto finance minister. That's his prerogative, but at the end of the day, it's my view that he is in multiple conflicts of interest, not even apparent conflicts of interest. He's in multiple conflicts of interest. Let's bring him here to the committee. We have nothing to hide as Conservatives.</p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"8612747\" data-originallang=\"en\">Merci, monsieur le pr\u00e9sident. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8612748\" data-originallang=\"en\">J'ai vieilli un peu et peut-\u00eatre que ma barbe a pouss\u00e9 un peu depuis que nous avons commenc\u00e9 la r\u00e9union. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8612749\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Vous savez, en tant que conservateurs adeptes du gros bon sens, nous voulons toujours d\u00e9couvrir la v\u00e9rit\u00e9. Nous sommes toujours pr\u00e9par\u00e9s \u00e0 recevoir des gens au Comit\u00e9, que ce soit des conseillers au sein de notre propre parti ou des personnes qui, comme Mark Carney, conseillent le gouvernement lib\u00e9ral. Au bout du compte, nous devons nous rappeler que c'est quelqu'un qui non seulement conseille le <a data-HoCid=\"214296\" href=\"/politicians/justin-trudeau/\" title=\"Justin Trudeau\">premier ministre</a>, mais qui veut \u00eatre le premier ministre. C'est un peu malhonn\u00eate pour les lib\u00e9raux de comparer des pommes avec des oranges et de dire, eh bien, nous voulons cette personne, nous voulons cette personne et elles devraient toutes venir ici. Ce n'est pas la logique conservatrice. Les conservateurs ne voient aucun probl\u00e8me \u00e0 faire venir des gens qui ont quelque chose \u00e0 dire et \u00e0 offrir au d\u00e9bat. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8612750\" data-originallang=\"en\">Au bout du compte, je pense que des gens comme Mark Carney devraient \u00eatre ici. Il veut devenir un jour premier ministre. C'est sa pr\u00e9rogative. Il veut conseiller le gouvernement lib\u00e9ral, afin d'\u00eatre le ministre des Finances de facto. C'est sa pr\u00e9rogative, mais tout compte fait, je pense qu'il se retrouve dans de nombreuses situations de conflit d'int\u00e9r\u00eats, pas m\u00eame une apparence de conflit d'int\u00e9r\u00eats. Il se retrouve dans de nombreuses situations de conflit d'int\u00e9r\u00eats. Faisons\u2011le venir ici au Comit\u00e9. Nous n'avons rien \u00e0 cacher en tant que conservateurs.</p>"
