"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"2095975\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, there is nothing new about monkey business at the Department of Public Works, but the former minister makes Roch LaSalle smell like a spring day: tampering with access to information requests, rigging government contracts, shady kickbacks to grateful contractors. It was his department, on his watch and he is responsible as the minister. The buck stops with him.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2095976\" data-originallang=\"en\">The member for <a data-HoCid=\"128818\" href=\"/politicians/helena-guergis/\" title=\"Helena Guergis\">Simcoe\u2014Grey</a> was politically executed for the flimsiest of innuendo. Why is the minister still in cabinet when he was caught red-handed?</p>",

N\u00e9anmoins, \u00e0 c\u00f4t\u00e9 de l'ancien ministre, Roch LaSalle ressemble presque \u00e0 un saint quand on pense aux interventions dans les demandes d'acc\u00e8s \u00e0 l'information, aux manipulations dans les contrats gouvernementaux, aux commissions douteuses \u00e0 des entrepreneurs reconnaissants. C'\u00e9tait son minist\u00e8re, il en avait la charge et en tant que ministre, il est responsable.
