"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"5069254\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague and applaud him for his undeniably Canadian turn of phrase.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5069255\" data-originallang=\"fr\">There is no doubt that <a data-HoCid=\"214320\" href=\"/politicians/bill-morneau/\" title=\"Bill Morneau\">finance ministers</a> should not get involved, and above all, should avoid any conflict of interests. If the minister was fortunate enough to be able to grow his business when he was in the private sector, then he would be obligated to set up a blind trust or to sell all his shares in order to act freely. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5069256\" data-originallang=\"fr\">That is not what happened, however. He designed, tabled and debated Bill <a data-HoCid=\"8502232\" href=\"/bills/42-1/C-27/\" title=\"An Act to amend the Pension Benefits Standards Act, 1985\">C-27</a>, which has a direct impact on pensions and is directly linked to the business he worked with. This is exactly what we were saying. Regreattably, he did not take the necessary steps to distance himself from his past affairs before taking on his current duties. </p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"5069254\" data-originallang=\"fr\"> Madame la Pr\u00e9sidente, je remercie mon coll\u00e8gue, que je salue pour son canadianisme de bon aloi.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5069255\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Il est certain que lorsqu'on est le <a data-HoCid=\"214320\" href=\"/politicians/bill-morneau/\" title=\"Bill Morneau\">ministre des Finances</a>, il faut \u00eatre au-dessus de la m\u00eal\u00e9e et il ne faut surtout pas \u00eatre en conflit d'int\u00e9r\u00eats. Si par bonheur, en d'autres temps, le ministre des Finances, alors qu'il \u00e9tait dans le secteur priv\u00e9, a fait fructifier une entreprise, il \u00e9tait de son devoir de mettre cela de c\u00f4t\u00e9 dans une fiducie sans droit de regard ou de vendre toutes ses actions pour agir en pleine libert\u00e9.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5069256\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Cependant, non, il a con\u00e7u, d\u00e9pos\u00e9 et d\u00e9battu \u00e0 la Chambre le projet de loi <a data-HoCid=\"8502232\" href=\"/bills/42-1/C-27/\" title=\"An Act to amend the Pension Benefits Standards Act, 1985\">C-27</a> qui touche directement les pensions et qui est directement reli\u00e9 avec ce que fait l'entreprise avec laquelle il a travaill\u00e9. C'est exactement ce que nous disions; il n'a malheureusement pas mis la distance n\u00e9cessaire entre sa fonction d'aujourd'hui, celle de ministre des Finances, et son exp\u00e9rience pass\u00e9e.</p>"
