You had the courage to leak but not to act. We knew there would be an impact on the markets, and I did not look forward to that. That was a sad effect on people in Canada, on a significant number of investors. I met with one yesterday. It gives me no happiness to see that kind of impact on people, but you have to act in the interests of the whole country, of all Canadians, and do the right thing, which we did and your government didn't. </p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"410082\" data-originallang=\"en\">La r\u00e9ponse, bien s\u00fbr, monsieur McCallum, c'est que tout comme votre gouvernement le savait, s'il avait agit, sa d\u00e9cision aurait eu une incidence n\u00e9gative sur le march\u00e9, comme vous le saviez en 2005, et c'est pourquoi vous n'avez pas eu le courage d'agir... Vous avez eu le courage de faire des r\u00e9v\u00e9lations, mais pas d'agir. Nous savions qu'il y aurait des cons\u00e9quences sur les march\u00e9s, et je n'avais pas h\u00e2te de les voir. Cette mesure a eu un triste effet sur les Canadiens, sur un grand nombre d'investisseurs. J'ai rencontr\u00e9 l'un deux hier. Je ne ressens aucune joie \u00e0 constater ce type de cons\u00e9quence sur les personnes, mais il faut agir dans l'int\u00e9r\u00eat de tout le pays, de tous les Canadiens, et faire ce qu'il faut, comme nous l'avons fait, contrairement \u00e0 votre gouvernement.</p>"
