I have to tell you, I'm very skeptical.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3719923\" data-originallang=\"en\">I understand the value of the information itself. Providing people with information is good, but I can't see how it's going to turn into billions or trillions of dollars. When you take 100 people and they receive 100 pieces of information, they'll say, \u201cfine\u201d, and they'll want another 100. It never stops. It may mean we have to employ more people in the government to provide more information\u2014I don't know\u2014but I just don't see how you're going to save all these billions and trillions.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3719924\" data-originallang=\"en\">Maybe you could explain it to me.</p>",

C'est une bonne chose de fournir des renseignements au public, mais je ne vois pas comment cela va se transformer en milliards ou billions de dollars.

Nous allons peut-\u00eatre devoir employer davantage de personnel au gouvernement pour fournir plus de renseignements \u2014 je l'ignore \u2014, mais je ne vois pas comment vous allez \u00e9conomiser tous ces milliards et billions.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3719924\" data-originallang=\"en\">Vous pourriez peut-\u00eatre me l'expliquer.</p>"
