"en": "<p>Mr. Speaker, I find it shocking that my colleague would suggest the Minister of Finance is breaking rules and regulations that have been established. I do not believe that. Canadians do not believe that. The Minister of Finance is one of the finest Ministers of Finance we have ever had. He is one of the people whom I admire the most because he does toe the line. He is aware of the rules and regulations. He follows them.</p>\n<p>For my colleague to suggest that because a bill comes into effect on a certain day and there are no expenditures before shows a lack of understanding of the political process, of the implementation process. I thought he was a business person, I would even add of business principles. That is shocking, absolutely, totally, completely shocking.</p>",
