Once again, the government wants to put what belongs to us into the hands of the private sector. Is that not strange? Who is going to do this work\u2014Lockheed Martin?</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2920826\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Why is the government trying to privatize so many jobs and why does it want to hand our archives over to the private sector?</p>",

Encore une fois, le gouvernement veut remettre ce qui nous appartient entre les mains du priv\u00e9. Comme c'est curieux! Qui va faire le travail, Lockheed Martin, peut-\u00eatre?</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2920826\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Pourquoi le gouvernement tient-il tant \u00e0 privatiser les emplois, et pourquoi veut-il mettre nos archives entre les mains du priv\u00e9?</p>"
