I didn't hear anyone say, \u201cYou're not answering my question. Your responsibilities are this, this, and this, and I want you to comment specifically on this, this, and this.\u201d</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"914207\" data-originallang=\"en\">So if we had questions of a particular witness and they were not asked or clarified, even if they appeared before the committee previously...I think this is Monsieur Godin's argument. Monsieur Godin's argument for having the minister come back is that we want to </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"914208\" data-originallang=\"fr\">clarify questions. We're currently conducting a study, so more direct questions must be asked regarding our concerns, our lack of knowledge and understanding of certain matters.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"914209\" data-originallang=\"fr\">So we must do that with the Public Service Agency, a representative of which appeared here, just as the minister also appeared before this committee. If we want to ask more specific questions, we could put them<em></em></p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"914210\" data-originallang=\"en\">to the Canada Public Service Agency. We have an opportunity.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"914211\" data-originallang=\"en\">I think this is a better use of the committee's time. They have specific responsibilities when it comes to the implementation of what it is we're looking at\u2014the very questions we were asking at the end of the last meeting.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"914206\" data-originallang=\"en\">Il se pourrait que nous n'ayons pas pos\u00e9 les bonnes questions ou que nous n'ayons pas insist\u00e9 pour qu'elle nous dise ce dont elle est responsable. Je n'ai entendu personne dire: \u00ab Vous ne r\u00e9pondez pas \u00e0 ma question. Vos responsabilit\u00e9s sont ceci et cela, etc. et j'aimerais que vous parliez pr\u00e9cis\u00e9ment des d\u00e9tails suivants. \u00bb</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"914207\" data-originallang=\"en\">Donc, si nous posons des questions \u00e0 t\u00e9moin qui ne r\u00e9pond pas et ne donne pas de pr\u00e9cisions, m\u00eame si ce t\u00e9moin a d\u00e9j\u00e0 comparu devant le comit\u00e9... Je pense que c'est l'argument de M. Godin. La raison pour laquelle M. Godin veut r\u00e9inviter la ministre est parce que nous voulons</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"914208\" data-originallang=\"fr\">pr\u00e9ciser des questions. On fait une \u00e9tude dans le moment, alors il faut poser des questions plus directes au sujet de nos inqui\u00e9tudes, de notre manque de connaissances et de compr\u00e9hension quant \u00e0 certaines choses.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"914209\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Oui, il faut le faire avec le <em>Public Service Agency</em>, dont une repr\u00e9sentante s'est pr\u00e9sent\u00e9e ici, comme Mme la ministre s'est aussi pr\u00e9sent\u00e9e devant ce comit\u00e9. Si on voulait poser des questions plus sp\u00e9cifiques, on pourrait en poser</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"914210\" data-originallang=\"en\">\u00e0 l'Agence de la fonction publique du Canada. C'est une occasion qui se pr\u00e9sente \u00e0 nous.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"914211\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je pense que c'est une meilleure fa\u00e7on d'utiliser le temps du comit\u00e9. Ils ont des responsabilit\u00e9s pr\u00e9cises dans la mise en oeuvre de ce que nous \u00e9tudions \u2014 les m\u00eames questions que nous posions \u00e0 la fin de la derni\u00e8re r\u00e9union.</p>"
