"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"2255334\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Yes, it's seven years. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2255335\" data-originallang=\"en\">I would add that I had the opportunity to sit on the search committee in both 2003 and in 2009 in selecting the foundation executive to lead SickKids Foundation. We thought very big in 2003. We knew we had to raise the level of the foundation and its support of the Hospital for Sick Children to maintain this wonderful hospital as a world leader. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2255336\" data-originallang=\"en\">In the five years before we selected that leader we raised $227 million, and in the five years after we selected that leader we raised $489 million. The board was very happy with the performance of that leader, and we believe we did the right thing. I think really it's a board that is very dedicated to the excellence at the Hospital for Sick Children, and right across their foreheads every day is the question, what is the best thing for SickKids? We knew we could no longer sustain the excellence of our research institute and world-leading equipment if we were only raising $40 million a year, so we thought big and we hired a foundation executive who raised the bar significantly, so that we raised $489 million during his time there.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"2255334\" data-originallang=\"en\">Oui, sept ans. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2255335\" data-originallang=\"en\">J'aimerais ajouter que j'ai eu l'occasion de si\u00e9ger, en 2003 et en 2009, au comit\u00e9 de recherche charg\u00e9 de s\u00e9lectionner le dirigeant qui serait responsable de la fondation SickKids. Nous avons vu tr\u00e8s gros en 2003. Nous savions que nous devions rehausser le niveau de la fondation et son degr\u00e9 de soutien \u00e0 l'H\u00f4pital pour enfants malades afin que cet h\u00f4pital fantastique conserve sa place de chef de file mondiale. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2255336\" data-originallang=\"en\">Au cours des cinq ann\u00e9es qui ont pr\u00e9c\u00e9d\u00e9 la s\u00e9lection de ce dirigeant, nous avons recueilli 227 millions de dollars, et, au cours des cinq ann\u00e9es qui ont suivi sa s\u00e9lection, nous avons recueilli 489 millions de dollars. Le conseil d'administration \u00e9tait tr\u00e8s satisfait du rendement de ce dirigeant, et nous croyons que nous avons fait la bonne chose. J'estime que les membres du conseil d'administration ont \u00e0 coeur l'excellence de l'H\u00f4pital pour enfants malades et, chaque jour, on peut pratiquement voir dans leurs yeux qu'ils se posent toujours la m\u00eame question: Quelle est la meilleure chose pour SickKids? Nous savions qu'il nous serait impossible de maintenir l'excellence de notre institut de recherche et de notre \u00e9quipement de pointe si nous ne collections que 40 millions de dollars par ann\u00e9e, alors nous avons vu grand et nous avons embauch\u00e9 un dirigeant de fondation qui a consid\u00e9rablement rehauss\u00e9 les objectifs, alors nous avons recueilli 489 millions de dollars au cours de cette p\u00e9riode. </p>"
