These are the ones that received the responses I spoke about earlier. They were developed by experts at the Library of Parliament and then brought to the committee and discussed. Adjustments to them were made by members of the committee, but, in general, we bowed to their expertise. I tried to demonstrate in my earlier comments how objective and thoughtful the questions were, and I can only encourage others to go to the report of the special committee to see just how thoughtful the responses were as well.</p>",

C'est des r\u00e9ponses \u00e0 ces questions que j'ai parl\u00e9 plus t\u00f4t. Elles ont \u00e9t\u00e9 con\u00e7ues par des experts de la Biblioth\u00e8que du Parlement, puis le comit\u00e9 en a \u00e9t\u00e9 saisi et il en a discut\u00e9. Les membres du comit\u00e9 les ont l\u00e9g\u00e8rement modifi\u00e9es, mais, en g\u00e9n\u00e9ral, ils se sont fi\u00e9s aux experts. Plus t\u00f4t, j'ai tent\u00e9 de montrer \u00e0 quel point les questions \u00e9taient objectives et r\u00e9fl\u00e9chies. Je ne peux qu'encourager les gens \u00e0 consulter le rapport du comit\u00e9 sp\u00e9cial; ils verront \u00e0 quel point les r\u00e9ponses aussi \u00e9taient r\u00e9fl\u00e9chies.</p>"
