Autrement dit, face aux témoignages substantiels de tous les groupes qui ont voulu se faire entendre sur cette question et après avoir permis à tous d'exprimer leur point de vue, il appartenait aux membres du comité de pressentir un consensus qui, pour beaucoup d'entre nous, comprenait une majorité de minorités.
In other words, confronted as we were with, I thought, extensive evidence from every viable group that wished to talk about this issue, and having given an opportunity to all of those groups to express their viewpoints, it was then up to the members of the committee to divine a consensus which many of us concluded included a majority of the minorities.
