That will allow for potential amendments. However, we are a little skeptical as to what degree it will bring in or accept proposed amendments whether from the New Democrats or Liberals. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2715808\" data-originallang=\"en\">One of the big concerns we have is in regard to in camera sessions. If the government is committed to having any sort of in camera session or portion thereof, it would prevent the public from being able to understand what it is that the government is saying because it would not have allowed the public to participate in the debate.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2715809\" data-originallang=\"en\">Given the member's comments, I wonder if he shares any concerns in regard to the threat or the potential of going in camera during the committee process.</p>",

Nous sommes toutefois quelque peu sceptiques en ce qui concerne les amendements qu'il pr\u00e9sentera ou qu'il acceptera de la part des n\u00e9o-d\u00e9mocrates ou des lib\u00e9raux. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2715808\" data-originallang=\"en\">Nous sommes particuli\u00e8rement pr\u00e9occup\u00e9s par les r\u00e9unions \u00e0 huis clos. Si le gouvernement d\u00e9cide de tenir une r\u00e9union ou une partie de r\u00e9union \u00e0 huis clos, le public ne pourra comprendre les intentions du gouvernement, ce dernier ayant emp\u00each\u00e9 la population de participer au d\u00e9bat. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2715809\" data-originallang=\"en\">\u00c0 la lumi\u00e8re des observations du d\u00e9put\u00e9, je me demande s'il craint qu'au moins une partie des r\u00e9unions du comit\u00e9 se d\u00e9roulent \u00e0 huis clos. </p>"
