Plus, the Liberals have put this government on probation. We have to bring a report back to the House. If the Bloc member can rest assured that having a Liberal probation officer is a sufficient criteria, I think we are in good shape here.</p>",

Elle y aurait trouv\u00e9 des r\u00e9ponses \u00e0 ses questions.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1310147\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je suis pr\u00eat \u00e0 lui donner toutes les assurances voulues que les m\u00eames crit\u00e8res vont s'appliquer au contr\u00f4le des d\u00e9penses. De plus, les lib\u00e9raux ont mis le gouvernement sous surveillance. Nous devons pr\u00e9senter un rapport \u00e0 la Chambre. Si la d\u00e9put\u00e9e du Bloc accepte que la surveillance d'un agent de probation lib\u00e9ral constitue un crit\u00e8re suffisant, je pense que nous pouvons envisager la suite des choses avec optimisme.</p>"
