"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"3519983\" data-originallang=\"en\">Thank you again, Mr. Chair, and through you I'm going to come back to this question about the funding allocation or the lack thereof. I used to do this. When I was with the Taxpayers Federation I would try to track down how governments were spending money. I know it can be exceptionally frustrating, particularly when a government sometimes changes how it reports a line item in a budget. You assume the worst, but sometimes you realize that it could in fact be done for innocent reasons\u2014not always mind you, but sometimes.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3519984\" data-originallang=\"en\">I'm curious to know what process your office uses to ensure that the information you're reporting on or reviewing is adequately researched and is in fact accurate.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"3519983\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je tiens encore une fois, monsieur le pr\u00e9sident, \u00e0 vous remercier. Je voudrais, si vous le voulez bien, revenir \u00e0 la question de l'allocation des cr\u00e9dits, ou du manque de cr\u00e9dits. C'est une question dont je m'occupais nagu\u00e8re. Lorsque je faisais partie de la F\u00e9d\u00e9ration des contribuables, je m'attachais \u00e0 voir comment au juste le gouvernement d\u00e9pensait son argent. Cet exercice peut \u00eatre frustrant, surtout lorsque, comme il lui arrive parfois de le faire, le gouvernement modifie le mode d'inscription d'un poste budg\u00e9taire. On se m\u00e9fie automatiquement, mais on s'aper\u00e7oit parfois que c'est parfaitement justifi\u00e9. Je pr\u00e9cise cependant que ce n'est pas toujours le cas. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3519984\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je serais curieux de savoir comment votre bureau s'y prend pour s'assurer que les renseignements dont vous faites \u00e9tat, ou que vous examinez, ont \u00e9t\u00e9 correctement scrut\u00e9s et qu'ils sont effectivement exacts. </p>"
