"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"1283870\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, dramatic allegations of attempts to bribe former MP Chuck Cadman raised very serious questions and led to unprecedented actions. Now it seems questions about the scandal will not be answered because Conservatives and Liberals have huddled together in the cone of silence.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1283871\" data-originallang=\"en\">However, there is another victim. According to an expert hired by the Conservatives, journalist Tom Zytaruk was falsely accused of tampering with his audiotape of his interview with the <a data-HoCid=\"78738\" href=\"/politicians/stephen-harper/\" title=\"Stephen Harper\">Prime Minister</a>.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1283872\" data-originallang=\"en\">Will the <a data-HoCid=\"78738\" href=\"/politicians/stephen-harper/\" title=\"Stephen Harper\">Prime Minister</a> and the government withdraw their allegations that he doctored the tape and apologize to Mr. Zytaruk?</p>",
