It is said that if something has to be opaque to succeed, it is probably less ethical than something that can stand up to transparency and light. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6917006\" data-originallang=\"fr\">I do not know why the government is dragging things out because, honestly, in its place, I would follow the unanimous recommendation of the committee and shed some light on the situation and, if necessary, prove that everything was done properly. I want to reiterate that I am not presuming that a mistake was made. I would just like confirmation that everything was done properly.</p>",

Un petit dicton dit que si une situation exige l'obscurit\u00e9 pour r\u00e9ussir, elle est probablement moins \u00e9thique qu'une situation qui peut supporter la transparence ou la lumi\u00e8re.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6917006\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Je ne sais pas pourquoi le gouvernement fait perdurer les choses, parce que, honn\u00eatement, \u00e0 sa place, suivant la recommandation unanime du Comit\u00e9, je permettrais de faire la lumi\u00e8re et, \u00e0 la limite, de d\u00e9montrer que tout a \u00e9t\u00e9 fait selon les r\u00e8gles de l'art. Je r\u00e9p\u00e9terai toujours que je ne pr\u00e9sume pas d'une faute, mais j'aimerais avoir la confirmation que tout a \u00e9t\u00e9 bien fait.</p>"
