"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"7586578\" data-originallang=\"en\">As I said in the comment I made earlier, I believe it was very important for Canadians to know what was available to them in terms of service and support at a very challenging time economically. That was clearly, I would think, the principal consideration there.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7586579\" data-originallang=\"en\">The other comment I'd make is that the effort to do that, to come up with ways of supporting Canadians, was the responsibility not of one department but of many. Indeed, some of these programs for business support were done largely through the Department of Finance, with other departments as assistants in that, including the Canada Revenue Agency. So there was a coordination question around communicating to Canadians that would have applied to departmental officials generally, to those who had to speak to the media in particular and to ministers as well.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"7586578\" data-originallang=\"en\">Comme je l'ai dit plus t\u00f4t, je crois qu'il \u00e9tait tr\u00e8s important que les Canadiens sachent quels services et mesures de soutien \u00e9taient \u00e0 leur disposition en cette p\u00e9riode tr\u00e8s difficile \u00e9conomiquement. \u00c0 mon avis, il s'agissait manifestement du principal facteur \u00e0 consid\u00e9rer.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7586579\" data-originallang=\"en\">Ensuite, l'effort requis pour y arriver, pour trouver des moyens de soutenir les Canadiens, relevait non pas d'un seul minist\u00e8re, mais de plusieurs. En effet, certains de ces programmes de soutien aux entreprises ont \u00e9t\u00e9 r\u00e9alis\u00e9s en grande partie par le minist\u00e8re des Finances, avec l'aide d'autres minist\u00e8res, dont l'Agence du revenu du Canada. La question de la coordination autour de la communication avec la population se serait donc appliqu\u00e9e aux fonctionnaires des minist\u00e8res en g\u00e9n\u00e9ral, \u00e0 ceux qui devaient s'adresser aux m\u00e9dias en particulier et aux ministres \u00e9galement.</p>"
