        "en": "<p data-HoCid=\"8880231\" data-originallang=\"fr\">First of all, I want to welcome everyone back to the House of Commons.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8880232\" data-originallang=\"fr\">I'd like to thank the witnesses for their presentations.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8880233\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Mr. von Finckenstein, I heard your comments, and I read the letter you sent to the committee. I think that, right now, in our country, we need to encourage experienced people to move into positions of power and decision-making, because the context is changing, both economically and technologically. So we obviously need experienced people in our offices and in our government.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8880234\" data-originallang=\"fr\">That said, our committee will have to make recommendations to the House. I would like to ask you a question so that you can guide us in our study and help us see things better. How do you see this committee conducting its study? Should we focus on a few recommendations or should we review the process as a whole? I'm asking you this because you talked about a change in context; I'll come back to it later.</p>",

Je trouve que pr\u00e9sentement, dans notre pays, on a besoin d'encourager les gens d'exp\u00e9rience \u00e0 acc\u00e9der \u00e0 des postes de pouvoir et de prise de d\u00e9cision, parce que le contexte change, tant sur le plan \u00e9conomique que sur le plan technologique. On a donc besoin, \u00e9videmment, d'avoir des gens d'exp\u00e9rience au sein de nos cabinets et de notre gouvernement.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8880234\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Cela dit, notre comit\u00e9 va devoir faire des recommandations \u00e0 la Chambre. J'aimerais vous poser une question afin que vous puissiez nous orienter dans notre \u00e9tude et nous aider \u00e0 mieux voir les choses. Comment voyez-vous l'\u00e9tude que doit faire ce comit\u00e9? Devrions-nous cibler quelques recommandations ou plut\u00f4t revoir le processus dans sa globalit\u00e9? Je vous demande cela parce que vous avez parl\u00e9 d'un changement de contexte; je vais d'ailleurs y revenir par la suite.</p>"
