        "en": "<p data-HoCid=\"1168924\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Mr. Speaker, yesterday, Mrs. Bloodworth, a security advisor in the Privy Council Office, gave some ridiculous testimony in committee. According to her, neither the RCMP nor CSIS advised the Privy Council of Julie Couillard's shady past. She even candidly admitted that the hon. member for <a data-HoCid=\"78461\" href=\"/politicians/maxime-bernier/\" title=\"Maxime Bernier\">Beauce</a> went through a second series of security checks without any scrutiny of his ex-girlfriend. When Ms. Couillard's past made the headlines, the Privy Council did not feel the need to investigate further.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1168925\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Is the <a data-HoCid=\"78738\" href=\"/politicians/stephen-harper/\" title=\"Stephen Harper\">Prime Minister</a> not concerned to see how lax the Privy Council's security service is? Or is this is a massive cover-up?</p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"1168924\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, Mme Bloodworth, conseill\u00e8re en mati\u00e8re de s\u00e9curit\u00e9 au Conseil priv\u00e9, a livr\u00e9 hier, en comit\u00e9, un t\u00e9moignage tout \u00e0 fait farfelu. Selon elle, ni la GRC ni le SCRS n'ont avis\u00e9 le Conseil priv\u00e9 du pass\u00e9 trouble de Julie Couillard. Elle nous a m\u00eame candidement avou\u00e9 que le d\u00e9put\u00e9 de <a data-HoCid=\"78461\" href=\"/politicians/maxime-bernier/\" title=\"Maxime Bernier\">Beauce</a> avait pass\u00e9 une deuxi\u00e8me s\u00e9rie de v\u00e9rifications de s\u00e9curit\u00e9 sans que son ex-conjointe ne soit vis\u00e9e. Enfin, lorsque le pass\u00e9 de Mme Couillard a fait les manchettes, le Conseil priv\u00e9 n'a pas senti le besoin de faire une enqu\u00eate plus approfondie.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1168925\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Le <a data-HoCid=\"78738\" href=\"/politicians/stephen-harper/\" title=\"Stephen Harper\">premier ministre</a> n'est-il pas inquiet de constater \u00e0 quel point le service de s\u00e9curit\u00e9 du Conseil priv\u00e9 est d'une telle incomp\u00e9tence, \u00e0 moins que ce ne soit une vaste op\u00e9ration de camouflage?</p>"
