"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"4807167\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, the reality is that this bill has more holes in it than a jar of olives. If we look at the provisions, there are so many things that are distant from the spirit about which the member talked. He talked about this providing genuine oversight, but he should know that all the power remains in the hands of the <a data-HoCid=\"214296\" href=\"/politicians/justin-trudeau/\" title=\"Justin Trudeau\">Prime Minister</a>. The Prime Minister appoints all the members of the committee and the Prime Minister has complete control over the information that goes forward.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4807168\" data-originallang=\"en\">The bill is very clear that it is not a parliamentary committee. It is, as it happens, a committee of parliamentarians, but it is not a parliamentary committee in any of the senses in which we understand that.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4807169\" data-originallang=\"en\">I wonder if the member could comment on some of those holes and whether he is really satisfied that this satisfies the Liberals' election commitment. I do not think it does at all.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"4807167\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, en r\u00e9alit\u00e9, le projet de loi comporte plus de trous qu'un pot d'olives. Si on examine les dispositions, on y trouve de nombreux \u00e9l\u00e9ments qui n'ont qu'un lien t\u00e9nu avec l'esprit mentionn\u00e9 par le d\u00e9put\u00e9. Celui-ci a parl\u00e9 du fait que le projet de loi permettrait l'exercice d'une surveillance en bonne et due forme, mais il devrait savoir que tout le pouvoir demeure entre les mains du <a data-HoCid=\"214296\" href=\"/politicians/justin-trudeau/\" title=\"Justin Trudeau\">premier ministre</a>. Le premier ministre nomme tous les membres du comit\u00e9 et le premier ministre contr\u00f4le enti\u00e8rement les renseignements qui sont pr\u00e9sent\u00e9s.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4807168\" data-originallang=\"en\">Le projet de loi est tr\u00e8s clair. Il ne s'agit pas d'un comit\u00e9 parlementaire. Il s'agit, en fait, d'un comit\u00e9 de parlementaires, mais ce n'est pas un comit\u00e9 parlementaire au sens propre.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4807169\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je me demande si le d\u00e9put\u00e9 pourrait parler de certains de ces trous et dire s'il croit r\u00e9ellement que le projet de loi respecte la promesse \u00e9lectorale des lib\u00e9raux. \u00c0 mon avis, ce n'est pas du tout le cas.</p>"
