"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"7499473\" data-originallang=\"en\">No, I think that there should be maximum transparency and accountability, as intended in the Access to Information Act. The manual for that act says very clearly that the underlying contracts with businesses that are doing business with the Government of Canada should be open by default. There should be no presumption of confidentiality.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7499474\" data-originallang=\"en\">I don't understand why the presumption of confidentiality exists, when it's only a subcontract. I think that all of those subcontracts should be rendered public. I think it's in the public interest to know them, all the more so because of the fact that the largest of the contracts was granted in a non-competitive bid.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"7499473\" data-originallang=\"en\">Non, je crois qu'il devrait y avoir un maximum de transparence et de reddition de comptes, comme le pr\u00e9voit la Loi sur l'acc\u00e8s \u00e0 l'information. Le manuel qui porte sur cette loi pr\u00e9cise sans \u00e9quivoque que les contrats de base des entreprises qui font affaire avec le gouvernement du Canada devraient \u00eatre publics par d\u00e9faut. Il ne devrait donc pas y avoir la moindre pr\u00e9somption de confidentialit\u00e9.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7499474\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je ne comprends pas pourquoi il y a pr\u00e9somption de confidentialit\u00e9 quand il s'agit seulement d'un contrat de sous-traitance. J'estime que tous ces contrats de sous-traitance devraient \u00eatre rendus publics. C'est dans l'int\u00e9r\u00eat public de les conna\u00eetre, surtout parce que le plus important des contrats a \u00e9t\u00e9 accord\u00e9 dans le cadre d'une soumission hors concours.</p>"
