"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"4879199\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madam Speaker, the first 30 seconds of that answer was actually on the topic of the cabinet leak. The rest was on another topic.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4879200\" data-originallang=\"en\">With regard to that question, I will just say that the parliamentary secretary's assertion that a cabinet leak did not occur is obviously counterfactual. I quoted from not one but two sources, anonymous but authoritative Liberal sources, leaking specific blow-by-blow details of a cabinet meeting and who acted in what way and at what time. That is a cabinet leak. That is a cabinet leak that is prohibited by our manual of procedure, and it points, if nothing else, to the profound lack of professionalism in the government, to the unwillingness to follow long-established precedents, the way we do things, and to sort of designing a new Peronist populism on the fly. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4879201\" data-originallang=\"en\">I will stop there, but I am terribly disappointed.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"4879199\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madame la Pr\u00e9sidente, les 30 premi\u00e8res secondes de cette r\u00e9ponse portaient sur la divulgation d'un secret du Cabinet. Le reste traitait d'un autre sujet.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4879200\" data-originallang=\"en\">S'agissant de la question pos\u00e9e, je me contenterai de dire que l'affirmation du secr\u00e9taire parlementaire selon laquelle aucun secret du Cabinet n'aurait \u00e9t\u00e9 divulgu\u00e9 est contredite par les faits. J'ai cit\u00e9 non pas une seule source, mais bien deux. Elles sont anonymes, mais il s'agit de sources fiables se trouvant au Parti lib\u00e9ral. Elles ont divulgu\u00e9 les d\u00e9tails pr\u00e9cis d'une r\u00e9union du Cabinet en pr\u00e9cisant qui a dit quoi et \u00e0 quel moment. Il s'agit de la divulgation d'un secret du Cabinet et c'est interdit par notre manuel de proc\u00e9dure. Voil\u00e0 en tout cas la preuve d'un profond manque de professionnalisme du gouvernement, de son refus de suivre les pratiques \u00e9tablies depuis longtemps ainsi que de sa tendance \u00e0 improviser une nouvelle sorte de populisme \u00e0 saveur p\u00e9roniste.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4879201\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je m'arr\u00eate ici, mais je suis terriblement d\u00e9\u00e7u.</p>"
