"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"1105528\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Good morning and thank you for being here. Mr. Simoneau, in an article published last May I read the following:</p>\n<blockquote><p data-HoCid=\"1105529\" data-originallang=\"fr\"> BDC should abandon investments that have no return and focus on its best opportunities, according to a study commissioned by the Conservative Government after years of poor performance from its Venture Capital Division. </p>\n</blockquote><p data-HoCid=\"1105530\" data-originallang=\"fr\">You have been accused of funding lame-duck companies and, according to that study, of investing too much money in them. I would like to know how you react to that comment. What can you tell us about it?</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1105531\" data-originallang=\"fr\">You stated earlier that, very early in their life, new technology companies become ineligible to grants. Is there a link between those two factors? Are those companies becoming lame-duck because of that?</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"1105528\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Bonjour et merci de votre pr\u00e9sence. Monsieur Simoneau, dans un article paru en mai dernier, il \u00e9tait \u00e9crit, et je cite:</p>\n<blockquote><p data-HoCid=\"1105529\" data-originallang=\"fr\"> La BDC devrait abandonner les investissements qui ne rapportent pas et se concentrer sur ses meilleurs coups, peut-on lire dans l'\u00e9tude command\u00e9e par le gouvernement conservateur apr\u00e8s des ann\u00e9es de pi\u00e8tres performances de la part de la Division du capital de risque de la Banque. </p>\n</blockquote><p data-HoCid=\"1105530\" data-originallang=\"fr\">On vous accusait d'encourager des entreprises boiteuses, dans lesquelles vous investissiez trop, selon cette \u00e9tude. J'aimerais que vous me parliez un peu de cela. Quelles remarques avez-vous \u00e0 faire?</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1105531\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Par ailleurs, vous disiez tout \u00e0 l'heure que tr\u00e8s rapidement, les entreprises de nouvelles technologies ne peuvent recevoir de subventions. Y a-t-il un lien entre ces deux choses? Deviennent-elles des entreprises boiteuses \u00e0 cause de cet \u00e9l\u00e9ment?</p>"
