"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"1990355\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madam Speaker, with respect to the adopted children, taking the last question first, that would be an easy thing to do. If there are any other unintended consequences, we should deal with them. I would be very open to that. Obviously, one would have to persuade the whole committee to support that.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1990356\" data-originallang=\"en\">With respect to private business people who choose to do business abroad, they are in a different category altogether. They are not in the category of diplomats or Canadian armed personnel or others who are sent for government service by either the provinces or the federal government. It is not that they are not doing work, and it is not that it is not good for Canada. They are in an absolutely separate category. I would have to be convinced to support that. At this moment, I would say no. I do not think we should extend this privilege to people who choose to do business abroad. However, I have an open mind, and I would be happy to be persuaded.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"1990355\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madame la Pr\u00e9sidente, je r\u00e9pondrai tout d'abord \u00e0 la question concernant les enfants adopt\u00e9s. Ce probl\u00e8me est facile \u00e0 r\u00e9gler. Si le projet de loi a d'autres cons\u00e9quences involontaires, nous devrions en discuter. Je suis tr\u00e8s ouvert \u00e0 la discussion. Or, il faut convaincre l'ensemble du comit\u00e9 d'appuyer un tel amendement.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1990356\" data-originallang=\"en\">Par contre, les gens entrepreneurs qui choisissent de faire leurs affaires \u00e0 l'\u00e9tranger font partie d'une cat\u00e9gorie \u00e0 part. Ils n'entrent pas dans la cat\u00e9gorie des diplomates, du personnel des Forces arm\u00e9es canadiennes ou des citoyens au service, \u00e0 l'\u00e9tranger, de l'administration publique f\u00e9d\u00e9rale ou de celle d'une province. Ce n'est pas que leur travail ne compte pas ou que ce n'est pas bon pour le Canada. Par contre, ils font partie d'une cat\u00e9gorie \u00e0 part. Il faudrait me convaincre d'appuyer un tel amendement. Actuellement, je m'y opposerais. Je ne pense pas que nous devrions \u00e9tendre ce privil\u00e8ge aux gens qui choisissent de faire des affaires \u00e0 l'\u00e9tranger. J'ai n\u00e9anmoins l'esprit ouvert et je serais ravi de me faire convaincre.</p>"
