Unfortunately, the NDP did not read that law because it immediately broke it by accepting some $300,000 worth of illegal union contributions. We have not even got to the $1.5 million that it still owes Canadians for illegal satellite offices.</p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"3922359\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, je viens de r\u00e9pondre \u00e0 cette question, c'est exactement ce que je viens de dire.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3922360\" data-originallang=\"en\">J'ai aussi dit que les lib\u00e9raux ainsi que le parti du <a data-HoCid=\"181199\" href=\"/politicians/thomas-mulcair/\" title=\"Thomas Mulcair\">chef de l'opposition</a> devraient faire la m\u00eame chose. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3922361\" data-originallang=\"en\">N'oublions pas que c'est notre parti qui a pr\u00e9sent\u00e9 la Loi f\u00e9d\u00e9rale sur la responsabilit\u00e9, qui a permis d'\u00e9liminer de la sph\u00e8re politique l'influence des grands syndicats et des gros bailleurs de fonds. Malheureusement, le NPD n'a vraisemblablement pas lu cette loi, puisqu'il l'a enfreinte d\u00e8s son adoption en acceptant des contributions syndicales ill\u00e9gales de pr\u00e8s de 300 000 $, sans compter qu'il doit encore 1,5 million de dollars aux Canadiens pour ses bureaux satellites ill\u00e9gaux.</p>"
