It would be a rather frightening prospect for members of this cabinet to launch criminal investigations against people or companies. Those are done by the non-partisan public service.</p>",

Il serait plut\u00f4t effrayant que des membres du Cabinet lancent des enqu\u00eates criminelles contre des particuliers ou des soci\u00e9t\u00e9s. Ces enqu\u00eates sont men\u00e9es par une fonction publique non sectaire.</p>"
