He has a history as a legislator and many years of experience, so I appreciate his words very much. I did find it interesting that he had a rather long list of things of which the government needed to take heed and perhaps mend the error of its ways. Perhaps he is right and miracles could happen. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1653463\" data-originallang=\"en\">I did, however, want to ask him about the penalties. He made mention of the need to talk about penalties in the bill and I would like to give him that opportunity.</p>",

Il est reconnu pour ses comp\u00e9tences en tant que l\u00e9gislateur et il a de nombreuses ann\u00e9es d'exp\u00e9rience, alors je reconnais la valeur de ses propos. J'ai trouv\u00e9 int\u00e9ressant qu'il ait pr\u00e9sent\u00e9 une liste plut\u00f4t longue de choses que le gouvernement doit prendre en compte et qu'il ait incit\u00e9 ce dernier \u00e0 prendre conscience de ses erreurs et \u00e0 peut-\u00eatre les corriger. Peut-\u00eatre qu'il a raison et que les miracles sont vraiment possibles. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1653463\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je voulais n\u00e9anmoins lui poser une question sur les sanctions. Il a dit qu'il est n\u00e9cessaire de parler de sanctions dans le projet de loi et j'aimerais lui en donner l'occasion.</p>"
