Would she mind repeating that part and explaining what it is about?</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3973784\" data-originallang=\"fr\">I was a member of the Standing Committee on Public Accounts for two years. I tip my hat to the Auditor General's team\u2014they do exceptional work. As a committee member, I was very often frustrated by how the government sometimes cared about the Auditor General's recommendations and sometimes did not.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3973785\" data-originallang=\"fr\">I think it is interesting how that rigorous research was used to draft a motion. Can she tell me more about that?</p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"3973782\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, je remercie ma coll\u00e8gue de son discours.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3973783\" data-originallang=\"fr\">J'aimerais revenir sur un point de la motion qu'elle a mise en \u00e9vidence, plus sp\u00e9cifiquement sur la partie o\u00f9 elle reprend une recommandation du v\u00e9rificateur g\u00e9n\u00e9ral. Je voudrais lui demander si elle peut r\u00e9p\u00e9ter cette partie et nous expliquer en quoi cela consiste.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3973784\" data-originallang=\"fr\">J'ai si\u00e9g\u00e9 au Comit\u00e9 permanent des comptes publics pendant deux ans. Je l\u00e8ve mon chapeau \u00e0 l'\u00e9quipe du bureau du v\u00e9rificateur g\u00e9n\u00e9ral qui fait un travail exceptionnel. J'ai \u00e9t\u00e9 trop souvent frustr\u00e9e, en tant que membre de ce comit\u00e9, de voir \u00e0 quel point le gouvernement accorde parfois de l'importance aux recommandations du v\u00e9rificateur g\u00e9n\u00e9ral et parfois non.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3973785\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Je trouve int\u00e9ressant qu'on ait repris ce travail de recherche rigoureux pour \u00e9laborer une motion. J'aimerais qu'elle m'en parle davantage.</p>"
