It's very difficult for us to get that all done in time for the committees. Some witnesses translate it in-house in both official languages. In many cases they don't have the resources to do that. I've worked on four or five committees now, and in many cases the witnesses don't have their opening statements in both official languages and, if that's the case, we don't distribute them.
