"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"7817783\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madam Speaker, I thank the hon. member for North Island\u2014Powell River for bringing forward this opposition motion. It is obviously important and needs to be debated. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7817784\" data-originallang=\"en\">In this situation, in relation to the question that was asked, I would point to former Supreme Court justice Iacobucci. He is very esteemed and held in high regard, and was actually appointed by, I believe, Prime Minister Brian Mulroney a few decades ago. He has led a number of inquiries and has done much work for the federal government. He is someone I hold in an esteemed position. I am glad that he was contacted to provide a letter to say there was no conflict, and we will go with that.</p>",

C'est une personne tr\u00e8s respect\u00e9e et tenue en haute estime. Si ma m\u00e9moire est bonne, c'est l'ancien premier ministre Brian Mulroney qui l'avait nomm\u00e9 il y a quelques d\u00e9cennies. Ce juge a men\u00e9 un certain nombre d'enqu\u00eates et d'innombrables travaux pour le gouvernement f\u00e9d\u00e9ral. J'ai beaucoup d'admiration pour cet homme. Je suis heureux d'apprendre que son opinion a \u00e9t\u00e9 sollicit\u00e9e pour fournir une lettre attestant qu'il n'y a pas de conflit d'int\u00e9r\u00eats. Je m'en remets \u00e0 son jugement.</p>"
