"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"5080760\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, although the member is in the opposition, I commend her. She provides very strong leadership for her party in her role as opposition House leader. I am certain she did the same around the cabinet table for Stephen Harper as minister of state for social development. If she was providing that strong leadership around the cabinet table, did she not have an equal voice, and if she had an equal voice, why should she have been paid less than other cabinet ministers around the table?</p>",

Je suis convaincu que c'\u00e9tait la m\u00eame chose lorsqu'elle \u00e9tait ministre d'\u00c9tat au D\u00e9veloppement social au sein du Cabinet de Stephen Harper. Si elle \u00e9tait aussi active au sein du Cabinet, n'\u00e9tait-elle pas sur un pied d'\u00e9galit\u00e9 avec les autres ministres? Pourquoi alors son salaire devait-il \u00eatre inf\u00e9rieur \u00e0 celui des autres ministres?</p>"
