"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"3901146\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, it was the minister herself who referred this matter to the ethics commissioner, and the ethics commissioner has indicated that there was no wrongdoing on the minister's part. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3901147\" data-originallang=\"en\">That is unlike the NDP, which has been found guilty of using funds of this House for partisan political purposes and supporting offices in places where it has no members of Parliament. In addition, the NDP was found guilty of using some $300,000 of union donations for partisan political purposes, which is against the law.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3901148\" data-originallang=\"en\">When it comes to ethics, it is this side of the House that takes it very seriously. As I said, the minister herself referred this matter, and the commissioner has found that the minister acted appropriately.</p>",

Le NPD a aussi \u00e9t\u00e9 reconnu coupable d'avoir utilis\u00e9 \u00e0 des fins politiques partisanes quelque 300 000 $ provenant de dons de syndicats, ce qui est contraire \u00e0 la loi.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3901148\" data-originallang=\"en\">C'est ce c\u00f4t\u00e9-ci de la Chambre qui prend l'\u00e9thique tr\u00e8s au s\u00e9rieux. Comme je l'ai dit, c'est la ministre elle-m\u00eame qui a soumis cette question \u00e0 la commissaire, qui a conclu que la ministre avait agi de mani\u00e8re appropri\u00e9e.</p>"
