"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"609317\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, as I said, all these expenditures are disclosed in accordance with government policy. The leader of the NDP simply has his facts wrong.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"609318\" data-originallang=\"en\">However, I will stop picking on the Liberals for a change because this was a question from the NDP.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"609319\" data-originallang=\"en\">I did talk a few days earlier about his habit when he was at city council, even though he lived downtown, to use that chauffeur driven limousine 194 times in one year instead of his bicycle to get a few blocks to city hall, but I left one thing out. That was despite the fact that he had a free public transit pass at the same time. He was using a gas-guzzling limo instead of public transit. I cannot believe it.</p>",

Le chef du NPD a tout simplement tout de travers.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"609318\" data-originallang=\"en\">Cependant, j'arr\u00eaterai de m'en prendre aux lib\u00e9raux pour faire changement parce que la question a \u00e9t\u00e9 pos\u00e9e par les n\u00e9o-d\u00e9mocrates.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"609319\" data-originallang=\"en\">Il y a quelques jours, j'ai mentionn\u00e9 que, lorsqu'il si\u00e9geait au conseil municipal, et m\u00eame s'il vivait au centre-ville, le d\u00e9put\u00e9 avait utilis\u00e9 la limousine conduite par un chauffeur \u00e0 194 reprises en une seule ann\u00e9e plut\u00f4t que sa bicyclette pour parcourir quelques p\u00e2t\u00e9s de maison jusqu'\u00e0 l'h\u00f4tel de ville. Cela, en d\u00e9pit du fait qu'il ait \u00e9t\u00e9 d\u00e9tenteur d'un abonnement gratuit aux transports en commun. Il utilisait une limousine peu \u00e9conome en carburant plut\u00f4t que les transports en commun. J'ai peine \u00e0 le croire.</p>"
