Senator Cowan: Well, I guess I would start with the assumption that the members of the committee — and, parenthetically, I would note that there would be twice as many government members on that committee as there would be opposition members, so to speak, so it's not likely that if there were partisan interests at work they would carry the day.
Le sénateur Cowan : Pour commencer, je partirais du principe que les membres du comité.En passant, je signale qu'on y trouverait deux fois plus de membres du gouvernement que de membres de l'opposition, pour ainsi dire. Il est donc improbable que, si des intérêts partisans étaient à l'œuvre, ils l'emporteraient.
