And I mean might. The public has to know that someone is minding the store and that we are not allowing the most powerful players to do whatever they like without saying anything, except to say that it is good for the economy. </p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"603381\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, je remercie le d\u00e9put\u00e9 de sa question. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"603382\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Je pense que le coll\u00e8gue comprend que notre motion vise \u00e0 faire en sorte que les citoyens qui se sentent absolument d\u00e9munis en ce moment au regard de hausses qu'ils ne comprennent pas et contre lesquelles ils peuvent chercher \u00e0 prendre toutes sortes de moyens sauront que quelqu'un veille au grain, que la commissaire s'occupe de voir \u00e0 ce qu'il n'y ait pas d'abus, de fraude, etc., qu'elle s'occupe \u00e9galement de voir \u00e0 ce que le prix du p\u00e9trole n'est pas un prix qui serait falsifi\u00e9 par la collusion. Je dis bien \u00ab serait \u00bb, c'est important. Il faut que les citoyens sachent que quelqu'un veille au grain, qu'on ne laisse pas les plus puissants faire tout ce qu'ils veulent sans ne rien dire, sauf de dire que c'est bon pour l'\u00e9conomie. </p>"
