"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"3279884\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, I do not know what the hon. member is referring to in terms of Senator Duffy. I do not believe he made those comments. We will wait for the findings of the report, of course, but our government has been clear. We have committed to ensuring that all expenses are appropriate at the Senate, that the rules governing expenses are appropriate and that the Senate does follow through on that. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3279885\" data-originallang=\"en\">We will wait for that report. However, when it comes to people not keeping their word, I think the reason the member knows so much about it is because he is the champion of that. When we look at that member's record, he campaigned to abolish the gun registry and then stood in this House and voted to maintain it. That tells us everything we need to know about his commitment to keeping promises.</p>",

Nous attendons les conclusions de l'enqu\u00eate, bien entendu, mais le gouvernement a \u00e9t\u00e9 clair. Nous sommes r\u00e9solus \u00e0 v\u00e9rifier le bien-fond\u00e9 de toutes les d\u00e9penses au S\u00e9nat et \u00e0 nous assurer que les r\u00e8gles qui r\u00e9gissent ces d\u00e9penses sont ad\u00e9quates et que le S\u00e9nat assure un suivi \u00e0 cet \u00e9gard.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3279885\" data-originallang=\"en\">Nous attendons le rapport. Cela dit, je crois que si quelqu'un en conna\u00eet long sur la rupture de promesses, c'est bien le d\u00e9put\u00e9. Il a fait campagne en promettant d'abolir le registre des armes d'\u00e9paule puis, une fois \u00e9lu \u00e0 la Chambre, il a vot\u00e9 pour le maintien de celui-ci. Voil\u00e0 qui en dit long sur sa r\u00e9solution \u00e0 honorer ses promesses.</p>"
