I would like to acknowledge the contribution each one of you is making to the development of policy in Canada.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5416574\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Mr. Cross, I would like to emphasize that I am a great admirer of Statistics Canada and I would like to thank you for your 36-year career at the agency. It does you credit.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5416575\" data-originallang=\"en\">In a sense, that leads me to a bit of a surprise when I believe.... Perhaps I misheard your opening comments about how you felt about some of the proponents for having put a price on a carbon.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5416576\" data-originallang=\"en\">You said something along the lines that they are mostly people who are of an intellectual \u201celite\u201d. Did I misunderstand that?</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"5416571\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Merci beaucoup, monsieur le pr\u00e9sident.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5416572\" data-originallang=\"fr\">J'aimerais aussi remercier tous les t\u00e9moins qui sont venus aujourd'hui.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5416573\" data-originallang=\"fr\">L'un des grands privil\u00e8ges d'\u00eatre un d\u00e9put\u00e9 est d'avoir la chance d'\u00e9couter des personnes tr\u00e8s intelligentes qui sont expertes dans leur domaine et d'\u00e9changer avec elles. J'aimerais saluer la contribution de chacun d'entre vous \u00e0 l'\u00e9laboration des politiques au Canada.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5416574\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Monsieur Cross, j'aimerais souligner que je suis un grand admirateur de Statistique Canada et j'aimerais vous remercier de votre carri\u00e8re de 36 ans \u00e0 ce minist\u00e8re. Cela parle pour vous.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5416575\" data-originallang=\"en\">En un sens, cela me surprend un peu lorsque je crois... J'ai peut-\u00eatre mal entendu ce que vous avez dit au d\u00e9but au sujet de certains des partisans de la tarification du carbone.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5416576\" data-originallang=\"en\">Vous avez dit qu'il s'agissait surtout de gens d'une \u00ab \u00e9lite \u00bb intellectuelle. Ai-je mal compris?</p>"
