I'd like to know\u201d.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1164283\" data-originallang=\"en\">That is why he wants to have a public inquiry. We believe the foreign affairs inquiry can look into the one legitimate question here which is the question of the documents that were left in an unsecured place, and all the rules and practices surrounding those documents.</p>",

Pourtant, c\u2019est lui-m\u00eame qui a dit que les lib\u00e9raux demandent une enqu\u00eate publique parce qu\u2019ils veulent savoir, et je vais citer les propos du d\u00e9put\u00e9 qui parlait de Mme Couillard, \u00ab Avec qui d\u2019autre a-t-elle des relations? J\u2019aimerais le savoir. \u00bb</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1164283\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Voil\u00e0 pourquoi il veut avoir une enqu\u00eate publique. Nous croyons que l\u2019enqu\u00eate du minist\u00e8re des Affaires \u00e9trang\u00e8res permettra de r\u00e9pondre \u00e0 la question l\u00e9gitime qu\u2019on peut se poser dans ce cas et qui concerne les documents laiss\u00e9s dans un endroit non s\u00e9curis\u00e9 ainsi que toutes les r\u00e8gles et pratiques entourant ces documents.</p>"
