You have always made yourself available, as was mentioned. On this particular issue, I think you've already given us quite a bit of time, so I was surprised you were asked to return. I thought you did a very good job in your first presentation. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1129442\" data-originallang=\"en\">At any rate, we will see if there is anything to clear up today. Mr. Lessard complained about the time he had, and yet he started on another topic. Obviously this topic isn't as important as it was perhaps let out to be. I think it would be nice if you would tell the committee that it isn't easy being called in front of them all the time. There's a lot of preparation, and you do have a very big department. It might be helpful if you would remind them that this isn't always easy.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1129443\" data-originallang=\"en\">That said, my main question will be about the board, because people are dubious about the board and their mandate. Could we just walk through the duties and the mandate of the board? I understand there will be three committees: the investment, the audit, and, I think, the human resources. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1129444\" data-originallang=\"en\">So perhaps you could just walk through the duties of the board as it breaks down into the individual committees. Then I will defer to Mr. Tilson.</p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"1129441\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je tiens \u00e0 vous remercier, monsieur le <a data-HoCid=\"105827\" href=\"/politicians/269/\" title=\"Monte Solberg\">ministre</a>, d'avoir accept\u00e9 de vous joindre \u00e0 nous aujourd'hui. Comme on l'a d\u00e9j\u00e0 indiqu\u00e9, vous avez toujours \u00e9t\u00e9 dispos\u00e9 \u00e0 compara\u00eetre devant le comit\u00e9. D'ailleurs, j'estime que vous nous avez d\u00e9j\u00e0 consacr\u00e9 beaucoup de votre temps, alors j'ai \u00e9t\u00e9 \u00e9tonn\u00e9e qu'on vous convoque de nouveau. Je trouvais que vous aviez r\u00e9pondu \u00e0 toutes nos interrogations lors de votre premi\u00e8re comparution.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1129442\" data-originallang=\"en\">Quoi qu'il en soit, nous verrons s'il y a d'autres points \u00e0 \u00e9claircir aujourd'hui. M. Lessard s'est plaint du peu de temps dont il disposait, et pourtant, il a abord\u00e9 un autre sujet. De toute \u00e9vidence, ce sujet n'\u00e9tait pas aussi important qu'on le croyait. Je pense qu'il serait bien que vous disiez au comit\u00e9 \u00e0 quel point il vous est difficile de vous lib\u00e9rer pour venir t\u00e9moigner. C'est beaucoup de pr\u00e9paration, et vous \u00eates responsable d'un tr\u00e8s grand minist\u00e8re. Cela vaudrait peut-\u00eatre la peine de le leur rappeler. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1129443\" data-originallang=\"en\">Cela \u00e9tant dit, ma principale question porte sur l'Office lui-m\u00eame, parce que les gens semblent avoir des doutes quant \u00e0 son mandat. Pourriez-vous nous en dire davantage sur les fonctions et le r\u00f4le qu'assume l'Office? Je crois savoir que le conseil d'administration \u00e9tablira trois comit\u00e9s: un comit\u00e9 des placements, un comit\u00e9 de v\u00e9rification et, si je ne me trompe pas, un comit\u00e9 des ressources humaines.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1129444\" data-originallang=\"en\">Alors si vous le voulez bien, vous pourriez peut-\u00eatre nous \u00e9num\u00e9rer les fonctions de chaque comit\u00e9 au sein de l'Office. Je vais ensuite c\u00e9der la parole \u00e0 M. Tilson.</p>"
