"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"162872\" data-originallang=\"en\">That may be the way to do this. I'm not suggesting it. I might support it; I haven't decided. All I was saying is that because this is the transport committee, and the corporate memory is transport-related and there is lots of business to do, I would be fearful that something critically important to the country might not get this.... I mean, just the fact that this is the transport, infrastructure, and communities committee and that we might consider a subcommittee for infrastructure and communities suggests in and of itself something\u2014that somehow that's a secondary piece of this. I'm not suggesting it's more important, but it's equally important.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"162873\" data-originallang=\"en\"> I would agree with Mr. Jean that perhaps it hasn't been given the kind of attention, even in the past, that it should have been given, but that's behind us now. I just wanted to make sure that the importance of this to communities, for instance, is critical. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"162874\" data-originallang=\"en\">There are debates on the question as to what is transport and what is infrastructure, and what is the difference. Those debates need to be discussed here too. I think it's important to the country. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"162875\" data-originallang=\"en\">I'm not saying it should be a subcommittee, as long as it gets appropriate attention in the main committee. Either way is fine by me. If it isn't getting appropriate attention in the main committee, perhaps we have to do something else. But I think the fact that we would consider infrastructure and communities as the thing that would automatically go to the subcommittee alerts me a little bit to the fact that people still think this is a transport committee, and that's the other thing. </p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"162872\" data-originallang=\"en\">Ce pourrait \u00eatre la fa\u00e7on de faire. Je ne la propose pas. Je pourrais l'appuyer; je n'ai pas encore pris de d\u00e9cision. Tout ce que je disais, c'est que comme il s'agit du comit\u00e9 des transports, que la tradition ici est celle des transports et qu'il y a beaucoup de travail \u00e0 faire, il y aurait lieu de craindre qu'un enjeu d'une telle importance pour le pays n'obtienne pas sa... C'est-\u00e0-dire que le simple fait qu'il s'agisse du Comit\u00e9 des transports, de l'infrastructure et des collectivit\u00e9s et que nous envisagions l'\u00e9tablissement d'un sous-comit\u00e9 de l'infrastructure et des collectivit\u00e9s sugg\u00e8re quelque chose en soi, que d'une certaine fa\u00e7on, c'est un enjeu secondaire. Je ne veux pas dire qu'il est plus important, mais qu'il l'est tout autant. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"162873\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je serais d'accord avec M. Jean que ce sujet n'a peut-\u00eatre pas re\u00e7u l'attention qu'il aurait d\u00fb recevoir, m\u00eame dans le pass\u00e9, mais le pass\u00e9 est derri\u00e8re nous. Je voulais seulement m'assurer que l'importance accord\u00e9e aux collectivit\u00e9s, par exemple, soit fondamentale. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"162874\" data-originallang=\"en\">Il y a des d\u00e9bats sur les d\u00e9finitions du transport et de l'infrastructure et la diff\u00e9rence entre les deux. Nous devons en discuter ici aussi. Je pense que c'est important pour le pays. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"162875\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je ne dis pas que cet enjeu devrait \u00eatre examin\u00e9 en sous-comit\u00e9, pourvu qu'on y accorde toute l'attention voulue au comit\u00e9 principal. Les deux fa\u00e7ons de faire me conviennent. Si l'on n'y accorde pas suffisamment d'attention au comit\u00e9 principal, peut-\u00eatre devons-nous proc\u00e9der autrement. Toutefois, le fait m\u00eame que nous envisagions que l'infrastructure et les collectivit\u00e9s soient les aspects automatiquement confi\u00e9s au sous-comit\u00e9 me mettent la puce \u00e0 l'oreille que les gens pensent toujours qu'il s'agit d'un comit\u00e9 des transports et que le reste passe apr\u00e8s. </p>"
