That is like burning a forest because there are a few diseased trees. In my neck of the woods, we do silviculture for problem trees. We do not burn the forest.</p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"609661\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, je suis d'accord avec le gouverneur de la banque qui a dit qu'il y avait des probl\u00e8mes de gouvernance au sein du secteur des fiducies de revenu, mais je suis aussi d'accord sur ce qu'il a dit \u00e0 propos du fait que c'est le meilleur moyen de faire certains genres d'investissements commerciaux au Canada.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"609662\" data-originallang=\"en\">Au lieu de r\u00e9gler le probl\u00e8me nous avons d\u00e9cim\u00e9 tout le secteur avec un bombe atomique. C'est comme si on br\u00fblait une for\u00eat enti\u00e8re pour se d\u00e9barrasser de quelques arbres malades. Dans mon coin du pays, nous pratiquons la sylviculture pour nous occuper des arbres \u00e0 probl\u00e8me, nous ne br\u00fblons pas la for\u00eat en entier.</p>"
