"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"33882\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, recently we learned, contrary to the contents of the federal accountability act, that the Conservatives have been engaging in a practice that would seem to contradict what they state. A member of the transition team, which hired the new Conservative government officials, chiefs of staff, deputy ministers, et cetera, is now a senior lobbyist in Ottawa, lobbying the very people who she hired for the government.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"33883\" data-originallang=\"en\">Clearly, this is either an oversight or a blatant undermining of the spirit of the accountability act. Would the hon. member agree with me that this type of lobbying should be outlawed, barred and specifically cited in the federal accountability act?</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"33882\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, nous avons appris r\u00e9cemment que les conservateurs adoptent une pratique qui semble aller \u00e0 l'encontre de ce qu'ils pr\u00e9conisent dans la Loi f\u00e9d\u00e9rale sur l'imputabilit\u00e9. L'une des membres de l'\u00e9quipe de transition, qui a embauch\u00e9 des fonctionnaires, des chefs de cabinet, des sous-ministres, etc. du nouveau gouvernement conservateur, agit maintenant \u00e0 titre de lobbyiste principale \u00e0 Ottawa, en faisant des d\u00e9marches justement aupr\u00e8s des personnes qu'elle a embauch\u00e9es.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"33883\" data-originallang=\"en\">De toute \u00e9vidence, il s'agit soit d'un oubli, soit d'une fa\u00e7on d'agir qui mine tr\u00e8s nettement l'esprit de la loi sur la responsabilisation. Le d\u00e9put\u00e9 serait-il d'accord avec moi pour dire que ce genre de lobbying doit \u00eatre interdit et d\u00e9sign\u00e9 sp\u00e9cifiquement dans la Loi f\u00e9d\u00e9rale sur l'imputabilit\u00e9?</p>"
