        "en": "<p>Mr. Speaker, for a number of weeks now, the papers have been full of revelations on the inadequate management practices of A\u00e9roports de Montr\u00e9al. These troubling revelations have led the Bloc Quebecois to send for the chairperson of the board of directors, Ms. Pageau-Goyette, to have her appear before the Standing Committee on Transport. Problems of labour relations, lack of transparency and the appearance of conflict of interest have been raised.</p>\n<p>The responses provided by ADM management have been, to say the least, unsatisfactory and perplexing. Crucial decisions on the development of Montreal were made by ADM, and major investments were announced in a context that shook public confidence considerably.</p>\n<p>The Bloc Quebecois does not intend to stop there. The airports of Montreal are public assets funded out of the public purse.</p>\n<p>Management of ADM will have to review its practices in order to win back the confidence of the public and elected representatives. There will be no question of repeating the practices being followed at Department of Human Resources Development within an agency given the task of developing infrastructures so important to Quebec.</p>",
