"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"3592232\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Mr. Speaker, the Conservatives are giving us a pretty good idea of what things were like during the final years of the Liberals' reign.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3592233\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Conservative Party cronies such as Duffy, Brazeau, Housakos, Wallin and Gerstein filled their pockets with taxpayers' money, while fundraising for the party that appointed them.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3592234\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Some will say that Liberal Party cronies are still fundraising for the party that appointed them, despite their leader's promises, but that is another story.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3592235\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Let us get back to the issue at hand, our senators.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3592236\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Two words: Colin Kenny. Is that not reason enough to abolish the Senate? </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3592237\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Seriously, why should Canadians have to put up with the Conservatives wasting public funds after everything they went through with the sponsorship scandal?</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3592238\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Just think of the PMO staffers who eat pizza on the taxpayers' dime instead of making a sandwich, or the former president of the Canadian Taxpayers Federation who wastes millions of dollars in taxpayers' money to promote an employment program that does not exist. Enough is enough.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3592239\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Canadians deserve better than a Conservative government that disregards the provinces' wishes and uses taxpayers' money as if it were its own.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"3592232\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, les conservateurs nous donnent une assez bonne id\u00e9e de quoi \u00e7a avait l'air \u00e0 Ottawa dans les derni\u00e8res ann\u00e9es du r\u00e8gne lib\u00e9ral. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3592233\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Les amis du parti comme Duffy, Brazeau, Housakos, Wallin et Gerstein se sont tous bourr\u00e9s les poches avec l'argent des contribuables, tout en faisant de la collecte de fonds pour le parti qui les a plac\u00e9s l\u00e0.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3592234\" data-originallang=\"fr\"> On me dira que les amis du Parti lib\u00e9ral font encore de la collecte de fonds pour le parti qui les a plac\u00e9s l\u00e0, malgr\u00e9 les promesses de leur chef, mais \u00e7a, c'est une autre histoire.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3592235\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Revenons \u00e0 nos moutons, je m'excuse, \u00e0 nos s\u00e9nateurs. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3592236\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Deux mots: Colin Kenny. Est-ce qu'on a vraiment besoin d'argument suppl\u00e9mentaire pour l'abolition du S\u00e9nat? </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3592237\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Vraiment, s\u00e9rieusement, pourquoi les citoyens devraient-ils endurer le gaspillage conservateur des fonds publics apr\u00e8s avoir v\u00e9cu le scandale des commandites?</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3592238\" data-originallang=\"fr\"> Qu'on pense simplement aux employ\u00e9s du bureau du premier ministre qui mangent de la pizza sur le dos des contribuables au lieu de se faire un sandwich, ou \u00e0 l'ancien pr\u00e9sident de la F\u00e9d\u00e9ration canadienne des contribuables qui gaspille des millions de dollars pour faire la promotion d'un programme d'emploi qui n'existe pas. \u00c7a va faire. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3592239\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Les Canadiens m\u00e9ritent mieux qu'un gouvernement conservateur qui ignore la volont\u00e9 des provinces et se vautre dans l'argent des contribuables comme si c'\u00e9tait le sien.</p>"
