My mother would beg to differ.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5800388\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Let me come back to the important matters. I will not comment on what a colleague said in a tweet. I will comment on the process that allows us to get to the truth. The opposition members often say that they want to get to the truth, but they immediately start pointing fingers before even hearing all the testimony of the people concerned.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5800389\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Today, we heard the former principal secretary say that he wants to appear before the justice committee. Before commenting on this story and pointing the finger at everyone, I would like to know if we are ready to hear the truth. Before we can get to the truth, we have to hear all the testimony. That is how things work in a parliamentary system. </p>",

Jamais ma m\u00e8re n'en aurait dit autant.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5800388\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Je reviens maintenant aux choses importantes. Je ne commenterai pas ce qu\u2019une coll\u00e8gue a dit dans un gazouillis. Ce que je vais commenter, c\u2019est le processus permettant d'en arriver \u00e0 la v\u00e9rit\u00e9. Les d\u00e9put\u00e9s de l\u2019opposition disent souvent qu\u2019ils cherchent \u00e0 conna\u00eetre la v\u00e9rit\u00e9, mais ils montrent imm\u00e9diatement des gens du doigt, sans m\u00eame avoir entendu tous les t\u00e9moignages des gens concern\u00e9s.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5800389\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Aujourd\u2019hui, nous avons entendu l\u2019ancien conseiller principal dire qu\u2019il voulait compara\u00eetre devant le comit\u00e9 de la justice. Avant de commenter cette histoire et de montrer tout le monde du doigt, j\u2019aimerais savoir si nous sommes pr\u00eats \u00e0 entendre la v\u00e9rit\u00e9. Avant de conna\u00eetre la v\u00e9rit\u00e9, il faut entendre tous les t\u00e9moignages. C\u2019est ainsi que cela fonctionne dans un syst\u00e8me parlementaire.</p>"
