"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"1414652\" data-originallang=\"en\">If I could just say one quick thing on that, one of the things that we really have to watch for.... We're very supportive of mark-to-market accounting, but again, we have to have harmonized standards, because FASB is taking a certain approach and the International Accounting Standards Board may be taking a different approach. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1414653\" data-originallang=\"en\">Harmonization--I keep using that word--is critical. Otherwise, it really is difficult when we rate banks in Canada, in the United States, in Europe to have apples to apples. We'll support whatever the standard is. We think a good, clean communicated standard is what's required.</p>",

Nous appuyons fortement la comptabilit\u00e9 fond\u00e9e sur les valeurs de march\u00e9, mais une fois de plus, nous devons harmoniser les normes, parce que le FASB adopte une certaine approche et le Conseil des normes comptables internationales peut en adopter une autre. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1414653\" data-originallang=\"en\">L'harmonisation \u2014 j'ai toujours ce mot \u00e0 la bouche \u2014 est essentielle. Autrement, il est vraiment difficile d'\u00e9valuer les banques au Canada, aux \u00c9tats-Unis, en Europe en fonction de facteurs comparables. Nous donnerons notre appui \u00e0 toute norme, quelle qu'elle soit. Nous croyons qu'il faut une norme efficace qui soit communiqu\u00e9e clairement.</p>"
