They have a responsibility to examine legislation, make it better and ask questions. That is why we never turn away from having our ministers appear at committee. We did so without any hesitation many times, and we will continue doing it. That is how it works. Our ministers are accountable to this Parliament.</p>",

Ceux-ci ont la responsabilit\u00e9 d'examiner les mesures l\u00e9gislatives, de les am\u00e9liorer et de poser des questions. C'est pourquoi nous sommes toujours ouverts \u00e0 ce que les ministres t\u00e9moignent devant les comit\u00e9s. Ils l'ont d\u00e9j\u00e0 fait sans h\u00e9sitation \u00e0 de multiples reprises, et ils le feront encore. C'est normal, puisque les ministres ont des comptes \u00e0 rendre au Parlement.</p>"
