        "en": "<p data-HoCid=\"2380403\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Mr. Speaker, the minister has just demonstrated that, after fostering a culture of secrecy by providing as little information as possible, this government developed a new strategy: dodging the issue. We have seen that the Conservative government does not really stick to this motion, but wanders off topic.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2380404\" data-originallang=\"fr\">I would like to speak to him about the government's attitude, which is truly autocratic and undemocratic. Government employees were issued a directive at the end of last year to replace \u201cGovernment of Canada\u201d on all correspondence with the <a data-HoCid=\"78738\" href=\"/politicians/stephen-harper/\" title=\"Stephen Harper\">Prime Minister</a>'s name followed by the word \u201cGovernment\u201d. Speaking of autocracy, this makes me think of Louis XIV, who said, \u201cL'\u00c9tat, c'est moi.\u201d or \u201cI am the State\u201d.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2380405\" data-originallang=\"fr\">What is going on? Have the Conservatives becomes so authoritarian, undemocratic and disconnected that they are not only giving speeches in the House that are not even related to the motion, but also withholding information and resorting to all sorts of wrongdoings? I would like to remind them that they are the ones who were charged by Elections Canada.</p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"2380403\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, le ministre vient de nous montrer qu'apr\u00e8s que ce gouvernement a fait la culture du secret \u2014 et on l'a vu par ses fa\u00e7ons de donner peu d'information \u2014, il a d\u00e9velopp\u00e9 une nouvelle strat\u00e9gie: comment noyer le poisson. On a vu qu'il ne s'en tient vraiment pas \u00e0 ce qui \u00e9tait dans cette motion.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2380404\" data-originallang=\"fr\"> J'aimerais lui parler de l'attitude du gouvernement vraiment autocratique et antid\u00e9mocratique. Une directive a \u00e9t\u00e9 donn\u00e9e aux fonctionnaires \u00e0 la fin de l'ann\u00e9e derni\u00e8re afin de remplacer \u00ab gouvernement du Canada \u00bb sur toute la correspondance par \u00ab gouvernement \u00bb suivi du nom du <a data-HoCid=\"78738\" href=\"/politicians/stephen-harper/\" title=\"Stephen Harper\">premier ministre</a>. \u00c7a me fait beaucoup penser, en parlant d'autocratie, \u00e0 Louis XIV, qui disait: \u00ab L'\u00c9tat, c'est moi. \u00bb</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2380405\" data-originallang=\"fr\"> Qu'en est-il? Les conservateurs sont-ils rendus tellement autoritaires, antid\u00e9mocratiques et d\u00e9connect\u00e9s que, finalement, non seulement ils nous r\u00e9citent ici des discours sans lien avec la motion, mais en plus, ils retiennent l'information et font toutes sortes de malversations? Je leur rappelle que ce sont eux qui ont \u00e9t\u00e9 poursuivis par \u00c9lections Canada.</p>"
