We know that the opposition is consistently voting against those measures that would further accountability in government.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3718114\" data-originallang=\"en\"> This particular person, if he is found guilty, should suffer the severest consequences available to him under the laws that this government has brought in. It is worth noting, of course, that as soon as we found out, we informed the Commissioner of the RCMP, the Commissioner of Lobbying, and the ethics commissioner.</p>",

Nous savons que l'opposition vote constamment contre les mesures qui resserrent les obligations de rendre compte au sein de l'\u00c9tat f\u00e9d\u00e9ral.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3718114\" data-originallang=\"en\">Si cet homme est d\u00e9clar\u00e9 coupable, il devrait subir les cons\u00e9quences les plus s\u00e9v\u00e8res pr\u00e9vues dans les lois que notre gouvernement a fait adopter. Je tiens \u00e0 souligner que, \u00e9videmment, nous avons inform\u00e9 le commissaire de la GRC, la commissaire \u00e0 l'\u00e9thique et le commissaire au lobbying d\u00e8s que nous avons pris connaissance des faits.</p>"
