She said that this legislation would cover areas not previously touched by the legislation and that it would never again be out of date. However, the member has not answered the question, the big elephant in the room, and that is the breaking of an election promise again, wherein the Liberals indicated that there would be transparency and access to cabinet ministers' and the <a data-HoCid=\"214296\" href=\"/politicians/justin-trudeau/\" title=\"Justin Trudeau\">Prime Minister</a>'s information, and she continues to go around it. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5008098\" data-originallang=\"en\">We have another elephant in the room\u2014it is getting very crowded here\u2014which is what the reasoning is behind choosing to kick that can down the road and not fulfill their election promise.</p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"5008097\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, j'aimerais attirer l'attention sur les propos de la d\u00e9put\u00e9e. Elle a dit que le projet de loi permettrait de couvrir des domaines qui n'\u00e9taient pas pr\u00e9c\u00e9demment touch\u00e9s par la Loi sur l'acc\u00e8s \u00e0 l'information et qu'il ferait en sorte que celle-ci ne soit plus jamais en retard sur son \u00e9poque. La d\u00e9put\u00e9e n'a cependant pas r\u00e9pondu \u00e0 la question, elle n'a pas parl\u00e9 de l'\u00e9l\u00e9phant dans la pi\u00e8ce, soit qu'une autre promesse \u00e9lectorale a \u00e9t\u00e9 rompue. Les lib\u00e9raux avaient promis qu'il y aurait de la transparence et qu'on donnerait acc\u00e8s aux renseignements du <a data-HoCid=\"214296\" href=\"/politicians/justin-trudeau/\" title=\"Justin Trudeau\">premier ministre</a> et des ministres, et la d\u00e9put\u00e9e continue d'\u00e9luder la question. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5008098\" data-originallang=\"en\">Il y a aussi un autre \u00e9l\u00e9phant dans la pi\u00e8ce \u2014 il commence \u00e0 y en avoir beaucoup \u2014, et celui-ci concerne le raisonnement derri\u00e8re la d\u00e9cision de continuer \u00e0 remettre les choses \u00e0 plus tard et \u00e0 ne pas respecter leur promesse \u00e9lectorale.</p>"
