"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"5373175\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, my colleague from <a data-HoCid=\"214564\" href=\"/politicians/charlie-angus/\" title=\"Charlie Angus\">Timmins\u2014James Bay</a> raised this point, but the member may be able to expand on it. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5373176\" data-originallang=\"en\">The big issue seems to be disclosure of information, and the government promised to be open and transparent. The Liberals should follow the advice they are given when they travel to all of these international meetings that the commissioner complained about. They should listen to Britain's representatives, who have come here several times to brief us. The British have legislated their reduction targets, and every five years they up the ante on them. They have appointed an independent commission that not only advises on how to meet those targets but provides an audit of how well they have done and reports it publicly. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5373177\" data-originallang=\"en\">Does my colleague think that this kind of disclosure would be useful in this chamber as well?</p>",

Les lib\u00e9raux devraient suivre les conseils qu'on leur donne lorsqu'ils se rendent dans ces innombrables rencontres internationales dont la commissaire se plaint. Ils devraient \u00e9couter les repr\u00e9sentants de la Grande-Bretagne, qui sont venus ici \u00e0 plusieurs reprises pour nous informer. Les Britanniques ont l\u00e9gif\u00e9r\u00e9 pour fixer des cibles de r\u00e9duction des \u00e9missions et, tous les cinq ans, ils rel\u00e8vent la barre. Ils ont nomm\u00e9 une commission ind\u00e9pendante qui non seulement formule des conseils sur la fa\u00e7on d'atteindre ces cibles, mais qui v\u00e9rifie aussi dans quelle mesure ils ont r\u00e9ussi, avant d'en faire rapport publiquement.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5373177\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mon coll\u00e8gue croit-il que ce genre de transparence serait \u00e9galement utile \u00e0 la Chambre?</p>"
