        "en": "<p data-HoCid=\"4971426\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madam Speaker, the Liberals are using a form of scientific method. It is political science. They are really not basing it on any evidence they gather with respect to data, except polling data. This is a serious concern. If we look at the material we are speaking about today, this is where the data is collected. This is where all the information is brought together, delivered to the government, delivered to Canadians, and, through that, decisions should be made. Unfortunately that has not been happening.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4971427\" data-originallang=\"en\">I would not want to see the government then cook up the advisory committee to determine what evidence it will see down the road.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4971428\" data-originallang=\"en\">I certainly agree with the member. I would call on the government to actually do what it has said with respect to following the science.</p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"4971426\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madame la Pr\u00e9sidente, les lib\u00e9raux utilisent un type de m\u00e9thode scientifique. Ils ont recours \u00e0 la science politique. Ils ne se fondent sur aucune des donn\u00e9es qu'ils recueillent \u00e0 l'exception des donn\u00e9es de sondage. C'est un grave probl\u00e8me. Dans ce dont nous d\u00e9battons aujourd'hui, il est question de l'endroit o\u00f9 les donn\u00e9es sont recueillies. Il s'agit de l'endroit o\u00f9 toutes les informations sont rassembl\u00e9es, puis transmises au gouvernement et aux Canadiens, et c'est en fonction de ces donn\u00e9es que des d\u00e9cisions devraient \u00eatre prises. Malheureusement, ce n'est pas ce qui se passe actuellement.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4971427\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je ne voudrais pas voir le gouvernement questionner le comit\u00e9 consultatif au sujet des donn\u00e9es qui seront plus tard disponibles.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4971428\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je suis certainement d'accord avec le d\u00e9put\u00e9. J'exhorte le gouvernement \u00e0 se fier aux donn\u00e9es scientifiques, comme il a dit qu'il le ferait.</p>"
