That is the second contradiction. If no mistake was made, why is the minister apologizing? What is he apologizing for? If he is apologizing for a mistake, then he is responsible. Otherwise, he should not apologize. As the minister, he has no choice but to resign if he is responsible. That is what ministerial responsibility looks like.</p>",

Comme il le disait hier, \u00e7a a \u00e9t\u00e9 fait pendant les heures d'ouverture. C'est la deuxi\u00e8me contradiction. Si aucune erreur n'a \u00e9t\u00e9 commise, pourrais-je savoir pourquoi le ministre s'est excus\u00e9? De quoi s'excuse-t-il? S'il s'excuse d'une erreur, c'est qu'il en est responsable. Sinon, qu'il ne s'excuse pas. S'il est responsable, comme ministre, il n'a pas d'autre choix que de d\u00e9missionner. C'est \u00e7a, la responsabilit\u00e9 minist\u00e9rielle.</p>"
