There's an assumption by Ms. McPherson that we disagree with them going up. That is not my point. She may actually be surprised by our position on that. My point is about due process, good order and respect for the ambassador, who is here.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8297733\" data-originallang=\"en\">If she would wait, she may be surprised by the government response to publishing those things. However, as a matter of principle, we have a guest who is our witness and who has come here. We should deal with that. We should deal with this in committee business. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8297734\" data-originallang=\"en\">That is the way our committee should function, or we will become dysfunctional again.</p>",

Mme McPherson suppose que nous nous opposons \u00e0 leur publication. Ce n'est pas l\u00e0 o\u00f9 je veux en venir. En r\u00e9alit\u00e9, notre position \u00e0 ce sujet pourrait la surprendre. Ce que je veux dire, c'est qu'il faut respecter la proc\u00e9dure \u00e9tablie, le bon ordre et l'ambassadrice, qui est ici.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8297733\" data-originallang=\"en\">Si la d\u00e9put\u00e9e veut bien attendre, il se peut qu'elle soit surprise par la r\u00e9ponse du gouvernement \u00e0 la publication de ces informations. Toutefois, par principe, nous avons une invit\u00e9e qui est notre t\u00e9moin et qui est venue ici. Nous devrions nous en occuper. Nous devrions traiter cette question dans le cadre des travaux du Comit\u00e9. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8297734\" data-originallang=\"en\">C'est ainsi que le Comit\u00e9 doit fonctionner, sinon nous redeviendrons dysfonctionnels.</p>"
