"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"4123972\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, if the hallmark is that there be 100% possibility of every interview asked for being granted by a scientist, then it must be muzzling.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4123973\" data-originallang=\"en\">What I know in the instance of fisheries, with respect to interviews requested of those working on the science base, is that last year 91% of the interviews requested were commented upon by scientists working for the Department of Fisheries.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4123974\" data-originallang=\"en\">No, it is not 100%. There is a consistency of communication, there is a timeline to follow, and of course we have to protect some of our scientific developments for the betterment of Canada and Canadian society.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4123975\" data-originallang=\"en\">If they are so muzzled how is it, then, that in a 2014 report by Thomson Reuters, three environmental Canadian scientists were listed as being among the world's most influential scientific minds? There must be something they are saying out there that is observed by the rest of the world for them to have such great accolades.</p>",

Il faut assurer la coh\u00e9rence des communications, respecter les d\u00e9lais et, bien s\u00fbr, prot\u00e9ger certains de nos travaux scientifiques dans l'int\u00e9r\u00eat du Canada et de la soci\u00e9t\u00e9 canadienne.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4123975\" data-originallang=\"en\">Si les scientifiques sont aussi musel\u00e9s qu'on le dit, alors comment se fait-il que, dans un rapport publi\u00e9 en 2014 par Thomson Reuters, trois scientifiques canadiens sp\u00e9cialistes de l'environnement ont \u00e9t\u00e9 cit\u00e9s parmi les esprits scientifiques les plus influents du monde? Pour jouir d'une reconnaissance aussi prestigieuse, ils ont s\u00fbrement dit quelque chose qui a attir\u00e9 l'attention du reste du monde.</p>"
