Yesterday he called losing track of over $3 billion an \u201cinternal\u201d matter.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3318692\" data-originallang=\"en\">The question for the <a data-HoCid=\"78738\" href=\"/politicians/stephen-harper/\" title=\"Stephen Harper\">Prime Minister</a> is quite simple. Does the Prime Minister agree with his minister that losing track of $3 billion of public money is none of the public's business?</p>",

Je vais donc lui lire la citation compl\u00e8te du v\u00e9rificateur g\u00e9n\u00e9ral, et non seulement l'extrait que les conservateurs se plaisent \u00e0 r\u00e9p\u00e9ter. </p>\n<blockquote><p data-HoCid=\"3318690\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Il est important que les Canadiens comprennent comment cet argent a \u00e9t\u00e9 d\u00e9pens\u00e9, car le gouvernement n'a jamais fait de rapport correct \u00e0 ce sujet. </p>\n</blockquote><p data-HoCid=\"3318691\" data-originallang=\"en\">Nous savons tous que le <a data-HoCid=\"170688\" href=\"/politicians/tony-clement/\" title=\"Tony Clement\">pr\u00e9sident du Conseil du Tr\u00e9sor</a> sait multiplier les excuses. Hier, il a dit que perdre la trace de 3 milliards de dollars est une question \u00ab interne \u00bb.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3318692\" data-originallang=\"en\">La question que j'adresse au <a data-HoCid=\"78738\" href=\"/politicians/stephen-harper/\" title=\"Stephen Harper\">premier ministre</a> est fort simple. Le premier ministre croit-il comme son ministre que la perte de 3 milliards de dollars de fonds publics ne regarde pas la population?</p>"
