        "en": "<p data-HoCid=\"2673807\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madam Speaker, the member said that it was a relevant question. I agree with him and just hope that I can provide a reasonably relevant answer.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2673808\" data-originallang=\"en\">The role of the finance committee is very important and always has been. I have not sat on that particular committee before, but I have certainly been involved at other levels of government on a committee such as the Standing Committee on Finance. I am very excited about participating on it, particularly as it relates to Bill <a data-HoCid=\"5266523\" href=\"/bills/41-1/S-5/\" title=\"An Act to amend the law governing financial institutions and to provide for related and consequential matters\">S-5</a>, because that committee needs to bring forward experts to talk to us about the consumer protections advertised in the bill. I say so because I do not think the way the government has gone about its consultations to date has given consumer protection advocates the opportunity to have input into this process.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2673809\" data-originallang=\"en\">At our committee, as we go through the bill item by item, we will have an opportunity to invite those experts who are out there in the field, from credit unions and consumer advocacy groups, to come in and share with us information that will help us make the bill the best piece of legislation it can be in order to get the support of members of the House.</p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"2673807\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madame la Pr\u00e9sidente, le d\u00e9put\u00e9 a dit que sa question \u00e9tait pertinente, et il a raison. J'esp\u00e8re seulement que je pourrais lui fournir une r\u00e9ponse suffisamment pertinente.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2673808\" data-originallang=\"en\">Le r\u00f4le du Comit\u00e9 des finances est tr\u00e8s important, et il l'a toujours \u00e9t\u00e9. Je n'ai jamais si\u00e9g\u00e9 \u00e0 ce comit\u00e9 auparavant, mais j'ai certainement \u00e9tait membre de comit\u00e9s similaires dans d'autres ordres de gouvernement. Je suis tr\u00e8s heureux de participer aux travaux de ce comit\u00e9, surtout en ce qui a trait au projet de loi <a data-HoCid=\"5266523\" href=\"/bills/41-1/S-5/\" title=\"An Act to amend the law governing financial institutions and to provide for related and consequential matters\">S-5</a>, parce que le comit\u00e9 doit convoquer des experts qui viendront nous parler des mesures de protection des consommateurs annonc\u00e9es dans le projet de loi. Je dis cela parce que je ne crois pas que les consultations qui ont \u00e9t\u00e9 men\u00e9es par le gouvernement jusqu'\u00e0 pr\u00e9sent ont permis aux d\u00e9fenseurs des consommateurs d'avoir leur mot \u00e0 dire.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2673809\" data-originallang=\"en\">Lorsque notre comit\u00e9 examinera le projet de loi article par article, nous pourrons convoquer les experts qui sont sur le terrain, en provenance de coop\u00e9ratives de cr\u00e9dit et de groupes de d\u00e9fense des droits des consommateurs, afin qu'ils puissent nous fournir des renseignements qui nous aideront \u00e0 faire de ce projet de loi la meilleure mesure l\u00e9gislative possible en vue d'obtenir l'appui des d\u00e9put\u00e9s.</p>"
