        "en": "<p data-HoCid=\"3318335\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to see everyone rushing in to catch the tail end of this speech. I appreciate that.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3318336\" data-originallang=\"en\">I was just going back through my notes again. If I left the hon. member with the impression that I am saying that Europe and the social programs were the cause for this recession, that is not what I said. I said that it was the issues in Europe and certainly in the United States, the housing markets and the banking industry. In fact, I went on and spoke about the sound banking that we have in this country, and that goes back years to other governments as well that laid out certain regulations for our banking industry. I certainly do not want to leave the member with the impression that I in any way said that it was social programs in Europe. I did not say that in my speech.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3318337\" data-originallang=\"en\">However, I would like to speak on the other point that this member brought forward. The Auditor General was very clear. He went back 10 years on the books, looked and asked if this $3 billion was from this file or that file. The Auditor General was clear that there was no money missing. It was out of the terrorism file, and going back to the former Liberal government of 2001 when all of a sudden we were thrown into quick responses on the terrorism file. Some things maybe were taken out of other departments. However, the Auditor General said that no money is missing.</p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"3318335\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, je suis ravi de constater que tout le monde se pr\u00e9cipite \u00e0 la Chambre pour \u00e9couter la fin de mon discours. J'en suis flatt\u00e9.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3318336\" data-originallang=\"en\">J'\u00e9tais en train de parcourir mes notes de nouveau. Si le d\u00e9put\u00e9 a eu l'impression que je disais que ce sont l'Europe et ses programmes sociaux qui sont \u00e0 l'origine de la r\u00e9cession, ce n'est pas ce que j'ai dit. J'ai dit que la r\u00e9cession a \u00e9t\u00e9 caus\u00e9e par les probl\u00e8mes en Europe et, bien entendu, aux \u00c9tats-Unis, par les march\u00e9s de l'immobilier et par le secteur bancaire. En fait, j'ai ensuite parl\u00e9 de la solidit\u00e9 de notre syst\u00e8me bancaire, qui remonte \u00e0 plusieurs ann\u00e9es, gr\u00e2ce aux mesures que d'autres gouvernements ont mises en place pour le r\u00e9glementer. Je ne veux certainement pas donner au d\u00e9put\u00e9 l'impression que j'ai dit, d'aucune fa\u00e7on, que ce sont les programmes sociaux europ\u00e9ens qui ont caus\u00e9 la r\u00e9cession. Je n'ai pas dit cela dans mon discours.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3318337\" data-originallang=\"en\">J'aimerais toutefois aborder l'autre point que le d\u00e9put\u00e9 a soulev\u00e9. Le v\u00e9rificateur g\u00e9n\u00e9ral a \u00e9t\u00e9 tr\u00e8s clair. Il a examin\u00e9 les livres des 10 derni\u00e8res ann\u00e9es pour trouver \u00e0 quels portefeuilles correspondaient cette somme de 3 milliards de dollars. Le v\u00e9rificateur g\u00e9n\u00e9ral a clairement \u00e9tabli qu'il ne manque pas d'argent. La somme \u00e9tait associ\u00e9e au portefeuille de la lutte contre le terrorisme, ce qui nous ram\u00e8ne \u00e0 l'ancien gouvernement lib\u00e9ral en 2001, lorsque, tout \u00e0 coup, nous avons d\u00fb r\u00e9agir rapidement dans le domaine de la lutte contre le terrorisme. Peut-\u00eatre que des sommes ont \u00e9t\u00e9 tir\u00e9es d'autres portefeuilles. Toutefois, le v\u00e9rificateur g\u00e9n\u00e9ral a d\u00e9clar\u00e9 qu'il ne manquait pas d'argent.</p>"
