"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"3867874\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, the member implies that the CWB is playing with government and farmers' money. This could not be further from the truth.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3867875\" data-originallang=\"en\">Let me read a quote from <em>The Western Producer</em> of September 23, 2009. It states, \u201cSo there is a deal, we would have to revisit if there is a role for government since there would no longer be that financial stake.\u201d </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3867876\" data-originallang=\"en\">Who said that? Why, it was the member for <a data-HoCid=\"170158\" href=\"/politicians/wayne-easter/\" title=\"Wayne Easter\">Malpeque</a>. He was referring to the way the CWB would operate in an open market. He argued that government should maintain an arm's-length relationship with a privatized CWB, and that is exactly what we are doing. We are allowing the CWB to privatize and keeping an arm's-length relationship.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3867877\" data-originallang=\"en\">The courts have been clear. Farmers and the government do not own CWB assets. It is time for this member to take his own advice and let the CWB move forward and privatize in the manner it sees fit.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"3867874\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, le d\u00e9put\u00e9 laisse entendre que la Commission canadienne du bl\u00e9 joue avec l'argent du gouvernement et des agriculteurs. Rien n'est plus faux.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3867875\" data-originallang=\"en\">Permettez-moi de citer le journal <em>Western Producer</em> du 23 septembre 2009. Voici ce qu'on peut y lire: \u00ab Un accord est sur la table et il faudrait d\u00e9terminer si le gouvernement a un r\u00f4le \u00e0 jouer \u00e9tant donn\u00e9 qu'il n'y aurait plus de d\u00e9pendance financi\u00e8re. \u00bb </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3867876\" data-originallang=\"en\">Qui a tenu ces propos? C'est le d\u00e9put\u00e9 de <a data-HoCid=\"170158\" href=\"/politicians/wayne-easter/\" title=\"Wayne Easter\">Malpeque</a>. Il parlait du fonctionnement de la Commission canadienne du bl\u00e9 dans un march\u00e9 libre. Il soutenait que le gouvernement devrait maintenir une relation sans lien de d\u00e9pendance avec une commission privatis\u00e9e et c'est exactement ce que nous faisons. Nous autorisons la privatisation de la commission et maintenons une relation sans lien de d\u00e9pendance.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3867877\" data-originallang=\"en\">Les tribunaux ont \u00e9t\u00e9 clairs. Les actifs de la Commission canadienne du bl\u00e9 n'appartiennent pas aux agriculteurs et au gouvernement. Il est temps que le d\u00e9put\u00e9 suive son propre conseil et permette \u00e0 la commission d'aller de l'avant et de se privatiser comme bon lui semble.</p>"
