        "en": "<p data-HoCid=\"2496189\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Thank you, Madam Chair.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2496190\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Mr. Mayrand, thank you for joining us this morning.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2496191\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Before I ask my first questions, I just wanted to point out that Mr. Del Mastro has gone down a dangerous road in his seven minutes, as interesting as that was. He managed to deliver a speech without asking any questions. I find it curious that someone would want to invite people and make comments and allegations, but have no valid questions to ask.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2496192\" data-originallang=\"fr\">There was much ado about nothing in this whole story\u2014just a lot of claims, allegations, just hot air: \u201cgone with the wind\u201d like the famous movie. I think it is just a diversion, while the Conservative Party is in hot water in terms of real instances of election fraud. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2496193\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Just now, Mr. Del Mastro said that he did not need to present any evidence as to the union sponsorship at the NDP convention, since we were all able to see it.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2496194\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Do you think that seeing ads at a convention is reason enough to make public accusations?</p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"2496189\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Merci, madame la pr\u00e9sidente.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2496190\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Monsieur Mayrand, je vous remercie d'\u00eatre avec nous ce matin.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2496191\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Avant de poser mes premi\u00e8res questions, je voudrais simplement souligner le fait que M. Del Mastro s'est livr\u00e9 \u00e0 un exercice aussi int\u00e9ressant que p\u00e9rilleux au cours des sept minutes de parole qui lui \u00e9taient accord\u00e9es. Il a r\u00e9ussi \u00e0 faire un discours sans poser de question. Je trouve particulier de vouloir inviter des gens et de lancer des affirmations et des all\u00e9gations, mais de ne pas avoir de question valable \u00e0 poser.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2496192\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Il y a eu beaucoup de bruit pour rien autour de cette histoire, \u00e9norm\u00e9ment de pr\u00e9tentions, d'all\u00e9gations, du vent. Cela me fait penser au c\u00e9l\u00e8bre film <em>Autant en emporte le vent</em>. Je pense que c'est une manoeuvre de diversion, alors que le Parti conservateur est dans l'eau chaude en ce concerne de vrais cas de fraude \u00e9lectorale.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2496193\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Plus t\u00f4t, M. Del Mastro a affirm\u00e9 qu'au sujet des contributions syndicales au congr\u00e8s du NPD, il n'avait pas besoin de preuve puisque nous l'avions tous vue.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2496194\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Selon vous, le fait de voir des publicit\u00e9s dans un congr\u00e8s est-il un crit\u00e8re suffisant pour lancer des accusations sur la place publique?</p>"
