I appreciate the comment you have just made, Mr. Chair. We must always remind ourselves that there are two official languages in Canada, French and English. I do not understand why translation is becoming an issue all of a sudden, when we are trying to obtain information. It is easy to argue that translation costs money in order to prevent people from accessing information. I think that such issues do not warrant discussion. Such thoughts should not even cross our minds. I still have a simple question. This is the third time.
Mr. Saxton, you may well laugh at what I am saying, but it is the truth.
For the third time, I will make the same comment. If the government keeps on saying that the request was presented to the Standing Committee on Government Operations and Estimates, then I do not understand why it is so complicated. If the request was already presented to that committee, that means that the documents have already been translated. Therefore, we cannot talk about a doubling of costs. If the same request was made to both, then we should simply be provided with the information, and the information given to the committee will have been translated.
