It is a tremendous honour to serve Canadians. People should be working to advance the public interest and not to advance their own interests. That is what this government got elected for, that is what this government has been working hard to do, and that is why we have taken the action that we have taken.</p>",

Si\u00e9ger ici est une \u00e9norme responsabilit\u00e9. C'est un immense honneur que de servir les Canadiens. Les parlementaires doivent promouvoir les int\u00e9r\u00eats de la population, pas les leurs. Notre parti a \u00e9t\u00e9 \u00e9lu pour faire appliquer ce principe. C'est l'objectif que notre gouvernement s'attache \u00e0 atteindre et c'est la raison pour laquelle nous avons pris certaines mesures.</p>"
