"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"2065626\" data-originallang=\"en\">Thank you, Mr. Chair.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2065627\" data-originallang=\"en\">Thank you for being here. I apologize I was not able to be here the last time you were here, at the beginning. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2065628\" data-originallang=\"en\">You can imagine my surprise that a piece of legislation that has been presented has not had the full benefit of a lot of witnesses.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2065629\" data-originallang=\"en\">Other than gasoline, I don't think I have heard from my constituents, and I challenge other members to produce the same, that there is somehow a massive rush of concern about the weights and measures of shaved salami or pastrami. A concern, however, has been raised for some time about accuracy in measurement.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2065630\" data-originallang=\"en\">Initially the report by Glen McGregor in the <em>Ottawa Citizen</em> at the height of fuel prices served as an interesting point, when the suggestion was made that virtually one in every four or more meters or pumps were askew and not in favour of the consumer.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2065631\" data-originallang=\"en\">Your minister then came with another report after the random surveys, or the surveys themselves, and suggested that the number that were dysfunctional and did not favour the consumer had now changed to one in 25. The data on which you have predicated this information, in my view, has never been made public. Therefore I don't know if the surveys checking these pumps\u2014I believe 8,000 in all\u2014were done randomly or if they were based on complaint. Can you clarify where this last round of tests came from, and where is the data specifically?</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"2065626\" data-originallang=\"en\">Merci, monsieur le pr\u00e9sident.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2065627\" data-originallang=\"en\">Merci d'\u00eatre ici. Je suis d\u00e9sol\u00e9 de n'avoir pas pu \u00eatre pr\u00e9sent lors de votre derni\u00e8re comparution, au d\u00e9but de notre \u00e9tude. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2065628\" data-originallang=\"en\">Vous pouvez imaginer ma surprise lorsque j'ai appris que l'on n'avait pas entendu beaucoup de t\u00e9moins au sujet d'un projet de loi qui a \u00e9t\u00e9 d\u00e9pos\u00e9.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2065629\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mis \u00e0 part l'essence, je ne crois que mes commettants m'aient parl\u00e9 d'autres questions, et je mets au d\u00e9fi les autres d\u00e9put\u00e9s de d\u00e9montrer qu'il y a une grande vague d'int\u00e9r\u00eat pour les poids et mesures des tranches de salami ou de pastrami. Cela fait par contre un certain temps qu'on a soulev\u00e9 des pr\u00e9occupations concernant la pr\u00e9cision des mesures.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2065630\" data-originallang=\"en\">Au d\u00e9part, l'article de Glen McGregor paru dans l'<em>Ottawa Citizen</em>, lorsque le prix de l'essence atteignait des sommets, avait soulev\u00e9 un point int\u00e9ressant, \u00e0 savoir qu'une pompe \u00e0 essence sur quatre n'\u00e9tait pas calibr\u00e9e et que ce n'\u00e9tait pas en faveur du consommateur. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2065631\" data-originallang=\"en\">Votre ministre a ensuite pr\u00e9sent\u00e9 un autre rapport apr\u00e8s les enqu\u00eates al\u00e9atoires, ou les enqu\u00eates elles-m\u00eames, selon lequel le nombre de pompes dysfonctionnelles qui n'\u00e9taient pas en faveur du consommateur serait maintenant de 1 sur 25. D'apr\u00e8s moi, les donn\u00e9es sur lesquelles vous vous basez pour faire cette affirmation n'ont jamais \u00e9t\u00e9 rendues publiques. Alors je ne sais pas si l'examen de ces pompes \u2014 je crois qu'il y en avait 8 000 en tout \u2014 s'est fait de fa\u00e7on al\u00e9atoire ou en fonction des plaintes. Pouvez-vous nous dire d'o\u00f9 vient cette derni\u00e8re s\u00e9rie de tests, et o\u00f9 se trouvent les donn\u00e9es?</p>"
