"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"3460409\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, it is obviously a great honour for anyone to be elected to this chamber, to be appointed to the other chamber. Regardless of their backgrounds, all of these people have given many years of public service.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3460410\" data-originallang=\"en\">The fact of the matter is we expect people to respect the rules. We expect people to not make expense claims that are false or that are contrary to the rules or that entirely disregard whether rules even exist. Those senators who have done that, two out of the three senators the NDP leader has named, have been sanctioned. That was appropriate, and I hope it sends a good message. </p>",

Peu importe leurs ant\u00e9c\u00e9dents, toutes ces personnes ont consacr\u00e9 plusieurs ann\u00e9es de leur vie au service de la population.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3460410\" data-originallang=\"en\">Le principe est simple: nous nous attendons \u00e0 ce que les gens respectent les r\u00e8gles, et non qu'ils pr\u00e9sentent des demandes de remboursement erron\u00e9es, contraires aux r\u00e8gles ou qui ne tiennent aucunement compte des r\u00e8gles. Les s\u00e9nateurs qui ont pos\u00e9 de tels gestes, soit deux des trois s\u00e9nateurs que le chef du NPD a mentionn\u00e9s, ont fait l'objet de sanctions. C'\u00e9tait une mesure appropri\u00e9e, et j'esp\u00e8re qu'elle enverra un message clair. </p>"
