Traduction de «mistake—he didn » (Anglais → Français) :

To say three times in your speech that you're glad the minister acknowledged a mistake—he didn't make a mistake, the ministry didn't make a mistake, and this government didn't make a mistake, because it's followed the process. It's come to this committee, Mr. Chair, we're doing a review, we're acknowledging that the bill, and particularly this part, clause 25, can be improved, and that's what we are doing.
Nous reconnaissons que le projet de loi, et en particulier cette partie, l'article 25, peut être amélioré, et c'est ce que nous faisons.

Why should the defendant be able to invoke, in his defence, the fact that he didn't respect the law because he was induced into making a mistake by an official?
Pourquoi le défendeur pourrait-il invoquer pour sa défense qu'il n'a pas respecté la loi parce qu'il a été induit en erreur par un fonctionnaire?

I reject that as being just a little too cute by half. But the question remains, after a minister comes in and says there's been a $122,000 mistake his chief of staff made the mistake, he didn't know about it, he's been properly admonished, he's not even in the office any more, he's gone is this a hanging offence?
Pour être juste envers les contribuables, nous nous devons d'étudier minutieusement un contrat de 122 000 $, mais d'y consacrer un temps proportionnel à l'importance de la question par rapport à toutes nos autres priorités.

The minister listened to the members opposite, and it may have been his mistake, because once he listened to them and acted on some of the recommendations they made, they made a decision that they were going to turn on him and didn't like what he was doing with the program after all.
Le ministre a écouté les députés d'en face et il a peut-être eu tort de le faire, car lorsqu'il a suivi certaines de leurs recommandations, ils ont décidé de se retourner contre lui. Finalement, ils n'aimaient pas ce qu'il a fait du programme.
