"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"1730023\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, after the Liberal decade of darkness this government has invested in the Canadian armed forces because we support our troops, not because of political gain, but out of national pride. That is why it is shameful the Liberal leader would show such calculated cynicism by fundraising on the issue of detainees.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1730024\" data-originallang=\"en\">Even the Liberal member for <a data-HoCid=\"128741\" href=\"/politicians/ujjal-dosanjh/\" title=\"Ujjal Dosanjh\">Vancouver South</a>, when asked if this was appropriate, said unequivocally, \u201cNo, it's not\u201d.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1730025\" data-originallang=\"en\">When the Liberal leader fundraises on the backs of our soldiers and their sacrifices, it proves what we have been saying all along: He is in it for himself. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1730026\" data-originallang=\"en\">We will not stand idly by while the Liberal leader tries to score political points by smearing our soldiers in this House or anywhere else in this country.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1730027\" data-originallang=\"en\">There will be more questions today about our soldiers and our military leadership, but the real question now is are the Liberals asking these questions to help, or are they asking these questions to fill the Liberal leader's war chest?</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"1730023\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, apr\u00e8s une d\u00e9cennie de noirceur sous la direction des lib\u00e9raux, l'actuel gouvernement a investi dans les Forces canadiennes parce qu'il appuie nos militaires, non pour se faire du capital politique, mais plut\u00f4t par fiert\u00e9 nationale. Voil\u00e0 pourquoi il est honteux que le chef lib\u00e9ral fasse preuve d'un tel cynisme calcul\u00e9 et profite de la controverse des prisonniers afghans pour tenter de recueillir des fonds. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1730024\" data-originallang=\"en\">M\u00eame le d\u00e9put\u00e9 lib\u00e9ral de <a data-HoCid=\"128741\" href=\"/politicians/ujjal-dosanjh/\" title=\"Ujjal Dosanjh\">Vancouver-Sud</a> a r\u00e9pondu, lorsqu'on lui a demand\u00e9 s'il est acceptable de mener une campagne de financement sur cette question, \u00ab non, ce ne l'est pas \u00bb.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1730025\" data-originallang=\"en\">Le fait que le chef lib\u00e9ral tente de recueillir de l'argent en s'attaquant \u00e0 nos soldats qui consentent d'\u00e9normes sacrifices, confirme ce que nous disons depuis le d\u00e9but: il ne sert que ses propres int\u00e9r\u00eats. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1730026\" data-originallang=\"en\">Nous ne resterons pas sans r\u00e9agir alors que le chef lib\u00e9ral cherche \u00e0 se faire du capital politique en d\u00e9nigrant la r\u00e9putation de nos soldats \u00e0 la Chambre ou ailleurs au Canada. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1730027\" data-originallang=\"en\">Il y aura d'autres questions aujourd'hui concernant nos soldats ou nos dirigeants militaires, mais la vraie question est de savoir si les lib\u00e9raux posent ces questions pour aider ou pour regarnir la caisse \u00e9lectorale du chef lib\u00e9ral.</p>"
