"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"6029802\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madam Speaker, what I said is that the substance of the motion is that the House call on the Auditor General to do something. That is what the motion is asking for. We all agree to do that. What we object to is misleading language in the preamble that selectively quotes from one report of the Auditor General and does not recognize that a second report was issued with contradictory information.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6029803\" data-originallang=\"en\">If we really want to all agree to the substance of the motion, we can by a simple amendment to remove the objectionable words in the preamble. Then we would get a motion that everybody agrees to. That is the substance of what is trying to be achieved. Why would we not all agree to that?</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"6029802\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madame la Pr\u00e9sidente, j'ai dit que la motion consiste \u00e0 proposer \u00e0 la Chambre de demander au v\u00e9rificateur g\u00e9n\u00e9ral de faire quelque chose. C'est ce qu'on propose dans la motion. Nous sommes tous d'accord pour faire cela. Ce que nous rejetons, ce sont les propos trompeurs du pr\u00e9ambule, car il contient des extraits choisis d'un rapport du v\u00e9rificateur g\u00e9n\u00e9ral et ne tient pas compte d'un deuxi\u00e8me rapport qui a \u00e9t\u00e9 publi\u00e9 et qui contient de l'information contradictoire.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6029803\" data-originallang=\"en\">Si nous voulons vraiment tous nous entendre sur la teneur de la motion, nous n'avons qu'\u00e0 y apporter un simple amendement pour supprimer les propos contestables du pr\u00e9ambule. On obtiendrait ainsi une motion que tout le monde pourrait appuyer. Voil\u00e0 essentiellement ce qu'on tente de faire. Pourquoi ne pourrions-nous pas tous nous entendre l\u00e0-dessus?</p>"
