"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"1902756\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, under the Liberals there was so much traffic between the PMO and well-connected lobby firms that they had a revolving door installed.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1902757\" data-originallang=\"en\">The Conservatives promised they would tie a bell around lobbyists' necks when they were skulking around in the corridors of power. But still the most powerful lobbyists in Ottawa are the most senior operatives in the Conservative Party.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1902758\" data-originallang=\"en\">The Federal Accountability Act was supposed to clean up the undue influence of well-connected lobbyists. Why did the Conservatives not just send Rahim Jaffer packing when he showed up with his hand out? Why did they continue to meet with him, continue to take proposals and then cover it all up?</p>",

Cependant, les lobbyistes les plus puissants d'Ottawa proviennent des rangs sup\u00e9rieurs du Parti conservateur.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1902758\" data-originallang=\"en\">La Loi f\u00e9d\u00e9rale sur la responsabilit\u00e9 devait mettre fin \u00e0 l'influence indue des lobbyistes ayant leurs entr\u00e9es. Pourquoi les conservateurs n'ont-ils pas simplement montr\u00e9 la porte \u00e0 Rahim Jaffer lorsqu'il s'est pr\u00e9sent\u00e9 pour qu\u00e9mander leur aide? Pourquoi ont-ils continu\u00e9 de le rencontrer, d'accepter ses propositions puis de tout camoufler?</p>"
