When something comes to the committee in one of the official languages, it is automatic that it proceeds to translation before it is distributed to the members of the committee. It's just an automatic thing, so that no request needs to be made. When Mr. Kenney gave the piece of paper to the clerk, the clerk would have automatically begun the process of translating the document prior to distributing it.
