"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"6871459\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madam Speaker, I agree with my colleague that there is always room for improvement through amendments. I am looking forward to seeing those and hopefully coming to some sort of consensus, if her party wants to put forward amendments.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6871460\" data-originallang=\"en\">I would also agree with her that this committee is not just about identifying what went wrong. It is about figuring out what we need to do better for the future. Having ample experience with lessons identified and lessons learned within the Canadian Armed Forces, the key difference is that if we do not actually learn from mistakes made in the past, we can identify them until the cows come home and we will be doomed to make the same mistakes again.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6871461\" data-originallang=\"en\">I encourage the Bloc Qu\u00e9b\u00e9cois to work with our Conservative team to come up with an amendment that would work for all of us.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"6871459\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madame la Pr\u00e9sidente, je suis d'accord avec ma coll\u00e8gue qu'il est toujours possible d'apporter des am\u00e9liorations au moyen d'amendements. Si son parti souhaite en proposer, j'ai h\u00e2te de les voir et j'esp\u00e8re que nous pourrons arriver \u00e0 un certain consensus.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6871460\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je conviens aussi que le comit\u00e9 propos\u00e9 ne devrait pas seulement chercher \u00e0 d\u00e9terminer pourquoi les choses ont mal tourn\u00e9, mais aussi ce que nous devrons mieux faire \u00e0 l'avenir. Quand j'\u00e9tais dans les Forces arm\u00e9es canadiennes, il \u00e9tait souvent question des le\u00e7ons d\u00e9gag\u00e9es et des le\u00e7ons retenues. J'ai appris que si nous ne tirons pas de le\u00e7ons de nos erreurs pass\u00e9es, nous serons condamn\u00e9s \u00e0 les r\u00e9p\u00e9ter, et ce, m\u00eame si nous savons invariablement en quoi elles consistent.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6871461\" data-originallang=\"en\">J'encourage le Bloc qu\u00e9b\u00e9cois \u00e0 collaborer avec notre \u00e9quipe conservatrice pour proposer des amendements qui nous conviendraient \u00e0 tous.</p>"
