Last night, we voted on a motion that would have created a committee to analyze things like the government's spending over the past six months. It would have looked into WE Charity and the new $237-million Baylis scandal. The government refused, saying that we would not have time, that there were too many documents, that it would paralyze Parliament and that we could not study this, so we will not be studying it.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6298447\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Today, the opposition is proposing another committee, this time to look into the government's handling of the pandemic and management of health care in the midst of a global health crisis, and the government is preparing to vote against it.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6298448\" data-originallang=\"fr\">My hon. colleague talks about transparency and says we will accuse them of trying to avoid being transparent. It is true that we would like the government to be more transparent.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6298449\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Could my colleague explain to me how the government plans to be more transparent if we cannot look at what it has been doing for the past six months?</p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"6298445\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Madame la Pr\u00e9sidente, je remercie mon coll\u00e8gue de son discours.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6298446\" data-originallang=\"fr\">J'essaie de comprendre la s\u00e9quence des \u00e9v\u00e9nements. Hier soir, nous avons vot\u00e9 sur une motion qui aurait permis de cr\u00e9er un comit\u00e9 qui aurait analys\u00e9, par exemple, les d\u00e9penses du gouvernement depuis les six derniers mois. Il se serait pench\u00e9 sur le mouvement UNIS et sur le nouveau scandale Baylis de 237 millions de dollars. Le gouvernement a refus\u00e9, disant qu'on n\u2019aurait pas le temps, qu'il y aurait trop de documents, que cela allait paralyser le Parlement et qu'on ne pouvait pas \u00e9tudier cela. Nous n'\u00e9tudierons donc pas cela.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6298447\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Aujourd'hui, l'opposition propose un autre comit\u00e9, celui-l\u00e0 pour se pencher sur la gestion de la pand\u00e9mie et la gestion de la sant\u00e9 en pleine crise mondiale de la sant\u00e9, et le gouvernement s'appr\u00eate \u00e0 voter contre.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6298448\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Mon honorable coll\u00e8gue nous parle de transparence et dit qu'on va les accuser de ne pas vouloir faire preuve de transparence. Effectivement, on aimerait que le gouvernement fasse preuve de plus de transparence.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6298449\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Mon coll\u00e8gue pourrait-il m'expliquer comment il va faire preuve de transparence si on ne peut pas regarder ce que le gouvernement fait depuis six mois?</p>"
