That is because when it comes to the way they function with their members on these committees, they have always believed in a centralized system. The former Stephen Harper government was the most centralized PMO; it was the most controlling Prime Minister's Office. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5833930\" data-originallang=\"en\">We committed to Canadians that we would do government differently. That is why they cannot comprehend that members are able to make choices, and they cannot comprehend that members might have differences of opinion. We on this side are okay with that.</p>",

C'est parce qu'ils ont toujours pr\u00f4n\u00e9 une vision centralisatrice au sein des comit\u00e9s. Le Cabinet du premier ministre de l'ancien gouvernement de Stephen Harper \u00e9tait hautement centralis\u00e9 et extr\u00eamement autoritaire.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5833930\" data-originallang=\"en\">Nous avons promis aux Canadiens de gouverner diff\u00e9remment. C'est pourquoi les d\u00e9put\u00e9s de l'opposition ne parviennent pas \u00e0 comprendre que les d\u00e9put\u00e9s puissent faire des choix et avoir des divergences d'opinions. De ce c\u00f4t\u00e9-ci de la Chambre, nous n'y voyons aucune objection.</p>"
