"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"3833454\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Mr. Speaker, after the miserable failures of Brazeau, Wallin, Gerstein, Duffy and the like, we realized that the Conservatives' selection process was pretty haphazard.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3833455\" data-originallang=\"fr\">However, we have just learned that they offered a Senate seat to Julie Snyder, who has ties to Ms. Marois and is the wife of an aspiring Parti Qu\u00e9b\u00e9cois leader. I have nothing against Ms. Snyder. On the contrary, she turned down the offer.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3833456\" data-originallang=\"fr\">The Conservatives' hypocrisy is the issue here. They usually go after the big bad separatists, but apparently anything goes when it is time to stack the Senate. It is pretty obvious: if they ever get hold of the mascot Badaboum, they will likely appoint him to the Senate. That is how desperate they are.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3833457\" data-originallang=\"fr\">We will let the Conservatives find their future Senate lackeys and the Liberals sort out who they are: Liberal senators who are not Liberals, but who espouse Liberal ideals nonetheless.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3833458\" data-originallang=\"fr\">The NDP is the only party to have figured out that the senators themselves are the problem.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"3833454\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, apr\u00e8s les retentissants \u00e9checs des Brazeau, Wallin, Gerstein, Duffy et compagnie, on avait compris que le processus de s\u00e9lection des conservateurs tenait sur le coin d'une <em>napkin</em>.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3833455\" data-originallang=\"fr\"> Toutefois, on vient d'apprendre qu'ils ont fait les yeux doux \u00e0 Julie Snyder, une proche de Mme Marois et la conjointe d'un pr\u00e9tendant au tr\u00f4ne du Parti qu\u00e9b\u00e9cois, afin qu'elle devienne s\u00e9natrice. Je n'ai rien contre Mme Snyder, au contraire: l'offre a \u00e9t\u00e9 refus\u00e9e.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3833456\" data-originallang=\"fr\">C'est l'hypocrisie des conservateurs qui est en cause. D'habitude, ils font la chasse aux m\u00e9chants s\u00e9paratistes, mais apparemment, quand c'est le temps de paqueter le S\u00e9nat, tout prend le bord. Ce n'est pas m\u00ealant: s'ils trouvent un jour le costume de Badaboum, ils seront capables de le nommer s\u00e9nateur. Ils sont d\u00e9sesp\u00e9r\u00e9s \u00e0 ce point-l\u00e0.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3833457\" data-originallang=\"fr\"> On va laisser aux conservateurs le soin de trouver leurs futurs porteurs de valises au S\u00e9nat et on va laisser aux lib\u00e9raux le soin de se d\u00e9m\u00ealer dans leur charabia: des s\u00e9nateurs lib\u00e9raux qui ne sont pas lib\u00e9raux, mais militants lib\u00e9raux quand m\u00eame.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3833458\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Au NPD, nous sommes les seuls qui ont compris qu'en ce qui concerne les s\u00e9nateurs, l'enfer, c'est eux autres.</p>"
