Mr. Soudas is a key Quebec adviser working in the heart of the PMO who set up a meeting with public servants over a real estate deal and the government's response is \u201cthat's how we in the Conservative Party do business\u201d. This stinks of the old Mulroney era and the sponsorship question. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"873292\" data-originallang=\"en\">My question is simple. Is the <a data-HoCid=\"78738\" href=\"/politicians/stephen-harper/\" title=\"Stephen Harper\">Prime Minister</a> going to send a directive to his staff that these kinds of meetings are okay, or are they going to be stopped?</p>",

Soudas, un conseiller important pour le Qu\u00e9bec qui travaille au coeur du CPM, a organis\u00e9 une r\u00e9union de fonctionnaires \u00e0 propos d'une transaction immobili\u00e8re. La r\u00e9ponse du gouvernement est que c'est la fa\u00e7on de faire du Parti conservateur. C'est une situation qui nous rappelle trop bien l'\u00e8re Mulroney et le scandale des commandites.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"873292\" data-originallang=\"en\">Ma question est simple. Le <a data-HoCid=\"78738\" href=\"/politicians/stephen-harper/\" title=\"Stephen Harper\">premier ministre</a> va-t-il dire \u00e0 son personnel que les r\u00e9unions de ce genre sont tout \u00e0 fait acceptables, ou y mettra-t-il un terme?</p>"
