"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"2145061\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, the member opposite not yet having been in government and possibly never will be either, does not seem to be able to make the distinction between talking and making clear one's opinion privately and where it counts in some instances and also the other difference of keeping one's powder dry, so to speak, in the public domain, sometimes because of legal constraints. The member with her legal background should appreciate the nuances of this.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2145062\" data-originallang=\"en\">Is the opposition member for <a data-HoCid=\"128179\" href=\"/politicians/martha-hall-findlay/\" title=\"Martha Hall Findlay\">Willowdale</a> not aware that government caucus MPs have some greater responsibility incumbent upon them at such a time as this? I refer to the member for <a data-HoCid=\"128559\" href=\"/politicians/ralph-goodale/\" title=\"Ralph Goodale\">Wascana</a>. I thought she was going to refer to the member for <a data-HoCid=\"128379\" href=\"/politicians/bradley-trost/\" title=\"Bradley Trost\">Saskatoon\u2014Humboldt</a> or one of the other good members of our Conservative caucus as she built up to that. However, the member for Wascana should know the need for there not to be even the appearance of imprudence. I think it was before her time, but she might recall a scenario involving the member for Wascana who was blamed for losing the 2006 election for the Liberals. There were allegations that the member for Wascana's office was not discreet enough in respect to a decision on income trusts.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2145063\" data-originallang=\"en\">Is the opposition Liberal member for <a data-HoCid=\"128179\" href=\"/politicians/martha-hall-findlay/\" title=\"Martha Hall Findlay\">Willowdale</a> not aware of criminal sanctions that apply to government members who are not as yappy as opposition Liberal members?</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"2145061\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, la d\u00e9put\u00e9e d'en face, qui n'a jamais fait partie du gouvernement et qui n'en fera probablement jamais partie, ne semble pas \u00eatre capable de faire la diff\u00e9rence entre le fait de parler et d'exprimer clairement son opinion en priv\u00e9 et quand cela compte et celui de tenir sa langue, pour ainsi dire, en public, parfois en raison de contraintes juridiques. La formation juridique de la d\u00e9put\u00e9e devrait lui permettre de saisir ces nuances.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2145062\" data-originallang=\"en\">La d\u00e9put\u00e9e de l'opposition de <a data-HoCid=\"128179\" href=\"/politicians/martha-hall-findlay/\" title=\"Martha Hall Findlay\">Willowdale</a> ne sait-elle pas que les d\u00e9put\u00e9s du caucus du gouvernement ont de plus grandes responsabilit\u00e9s \u00e0 assumer dans un moment comme celui-ci? Je pense ici au d\u00e9put\u00e9 de <a data-HoCid=\"128559\" href=\"/politicians/ralph-goodale/\" title=\"Ralph Goodale\">Wascana</a>. Je pensais qu'elle allait parler du d\u00e9put\u00e9 de <a data-HoCid=\"128379\" href=\"/politicians/bradley-trost/\" title=\"Bradley Trost\">Saskatoon\u2014Humboldt</a> ou de l'un des autres d\u00e9put\u00e9s du caucus conservateur. Elle semblait s'y pr\u00e9parer. Toutefois, le d\u00e9put\u00e9 de Wascana doit savoir qu'il faut \u00e9viter ne serait-ce qu'une apparence d'imprudence. Je crois que c'\u00e9tait avant son \u00e9poque, mais la d\u00e9put\u00e9e se souvient peut-\u00eatre d'un probl\u00e8me qu'a eu le d\u00e9put\u00e9 de Wascana, \u00e0 qui on a reproch\u00e9 la d\u00e9faite des lib\u00e9raux aux \u00e9lections de 2006. Selon certaines all\u00e9gations, le personnel du bureau du d\u00e9put\u00e9 de Wascana n'avait pas \u00e9t\u00e9 assez discret relativement \u00e0 une d\u00e9cision concernant les fiducies de revenu.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2145063\" data-originallang=\"en\">La d\u00e9put\u00e9e de l'opposition lib\u00e9rale de <a data-HoCid=\"128179\" href=\"/politicians/martha-hall-findlay/\" title=\"Martha Hall Findlay\">Willowdale</a> n'est-elle pas au courant des sanctions criminelles qui s'appliquent aux d\u00e9put\u00e9s minist\u00e9riels, qui ne jacassent pas autant que les d\u00e9put\u00e9s de l'opposition lib\u00e9rale?</p>"
