"en": "<p>Mr. Speaker, we have recently learned of Club R, a reward system for Reformers who get points for letters to the editor and other mailings.</p>\n<p>We have a few suggestions for prizes. Fifty letters to the editor gets you a pair of binoculars so that you can look for Conservatives in your desperate attempt for official opposition status. One hundred letters to the editor gets you a waffle iron. We all know how much Reformers like to waffle. With 200 letters to the editor, the leader's office would get six months of plumbing to stop those nasty leaks.</p>\n<p>Sadly all of these gifts must be returned once they are received because we all know that Reformers never keep their promises. Once they are returned, Club R members will learn what every other Canadian already knows, there are no rewards to being a Reformer.</p>",
