The Liberal government is introducing a bill on access to information that would prevent the excellent work of journalists, people like Daniel Leblanc and others, from revealing things like the sponsorship scandal. We are not the ones saying so. Yesterday, the Information Commissioner said:</p>\n<blockquote><p data-HoCid=\"5099625\" data-originallang=\"fr\"> ...I went back to the request...that uncovered the sponsorship scandal and that request would not meet their new requirement under [this bill]. </p>\n</blockquote><p data-HoCid=\"5099626\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Why does the Liberal Party want to hide other sponsorship scandals?</p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"5099623\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, le Parti lib\u00e9ral est et sera toujours associ\u00e9 au scandale des commandites.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5099624\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Les Canadiens pensaient que les lib\u00e9raux avaient compris, mais ils n'ont rien compris du tout. Le gouvernement lib\u00e9ral d\u00e9pose un projet de loi sur l'acc\u00e8s \u00e0 l'information qui fait en sorte que l'excellent travail des journalistes, de Daniel Leblanc et d'autres ne permettrait plus de d\u00e9voiler au grand jour le scandale des commandites. Ce n'est pas nous qui le disons, c'est la commissaire \u00e0 l'information qui hier a affirm\u00e9:</p>\n<blockquote><p data-HoCid=\"5099625\" data-originallang=\"fr\"> [...] je suis revenue sur la demande [...] qui a fait exploser le scandale des commandites. Or, cette demande n'aurait pas satisfait les exigences [du projet de loi]. </p>\n</blockquote><p data-HoCid=\"5099626\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Pourquoi le Parti lib\u00e9ral veut-il cacher d'autres scandales des commandites?</p>"
