J'ai l'information parce que je connais quelqu'un qui fait partie du comité mais, sans cela, il aurait été difficile de savoir qui sont les membres du comité, en vertu de quel processus ils sont nommés, quand il se réunit, quelles sont les questions qu'il examine et quels rapports il produit.
I have the information as a result of knowing someone who sat on the committee, but had it not been for that, it would have been difficult to find the names of everyone who was on the committee, the process by which those individuals were actually appointed to the committee, when the committee met, what the committee was considering, and any report that came out from the committee.
