Declaration of Emergency committee  I want to quickly say that one of my colleagues did the calculation. We’re talking about 152,000 lines. If each line contains an average of 15 words, that is still 2.2 million words. We have to see how much time it would take to translate that number of words, but we could still

Declaration of Emergency committee  No, absolutely not.

Declaration of Emergency committee  It would take about 2 to 3 months.

Declaration of Emergency committee  In terms of hours, we've calculated that to translate the 124,000 pages—that's our final estimate that we've provided—it would take us 160,000 hours, if we do it all in one shot. That represents—with all the force of the translation bureau, including our freelancers—about one mon

Declaration of Emergency committee  Exactly.

Declaration of Emergency committee  I don't have the exact number of workers, but I can get that.

Those 252 contracts help us do about half of our work annually. They produce 160 million words per year.

Declaration of Emergency committee  No, I would say contracts. It's more than that. It really depends, because for some firms we will have access to dozens of translators. It also depends on their availability.

Right now, we have 600 of our translators who would be available to work on that, presuming that we don't do the rest of the work, a

Declaration of Emergency committee  Thank you for the question. Concerning the number of documents we have translated, I would say that we have translated certain chapters of the Rouleau report.

Declaration of Emergency committee  To my knowledge and based on the information we have found, we have not translated any evidence for the commission to date.

Declaration of Emergency committee  That's correct.

Declaration of Emergency committee  We cannot assume that to be the case, since, as Mr. Lymburner mentioned, the commission did business with private sector companies. So the bureau is not in a position to say to what extent the commission people based their work on the translations.
