"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"4109711\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, let me be blunt. When the employment minister uses taxpayer money for self-promotion videos to get re-elected and then has the gall to say that he is merely informing Canadians about government policy, it is like a slap in the face to all Canadians who expect accountability. Either that, or he thinks we are stupid, or possibly that we do not care. We do care. After nine years in power, the government has achieved a state of supreme arrogance and complete contempt for Canadians. Where is the shame?</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"4109711\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, je serai direct. Lorsque le ministre de l'Emploi utilise l'argent des contribuables pour tourner des vid\u00e9os o\u00f9 il fait sa propre promotion en vue d'\u00eatre r\u00e9\u00e9lu et qu'il a ensuite le culot de dire qu'il ne fait qu'informer les Canadiens au sujet des politiques du gouvernement, c'est comme s'il insultait tous les Canadiens qui s'attendent \u00e0 ce que le gouvernement rende des comptes. Si ce n'est pas cela, il pense que nous sommes stupides, ou alors, il pense peut-\u00eatre que cela nous laisse indiff\u00e9rents. C'est faux: ces choses nous importent. Apr\u00e8s neuf ans au pouvoir, le gouvernement fait preuve d'une arrogance extr\u00eame et d'un m\u00e9pris total envers les Canadiens. N'a-t-il pas honte?</p>"
