The rules of my office to ensure that public resources are not used for partisan purposes were not followed. That is why we took corrective action. I must point out that we respect the principle of not using public resources for partisan purposes. That being said, we are proud of our government's record with new Canadians.</p>",

Il a offert sa d\u00e9mission, que j'ai accept\u00e9e. Les r\u00e8gles utilis\u00e9es dans mon bureau pour s'assurer que les ressources publiques ne sont pas utilis\u00e9es \u00e0 des fins partisanes n'ont pas \u00e9t\u00e9 respect\u00e9es. C'est la raison pour laquelle on a pris des mesures correctives. Je dois souligner que nous respectons le principe voulant qu'on ne doive pas utiliser les ressources publiques \u00e0 des fins partisanes. Cela \u00e9tant dit, nous sommes fiers du bilan de notre gouvernement aupr\u00e8s des nouveaux Canadiens.</p>"
