Then, they got their hands on most of the shipbuilding strategy's $100 billion. Meanwhile, Davie, the Quebec shipbuilding industry, is being passed over for Coast Guard contracts in favour of the Irvings.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5956627\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Why is the government working on behalf of the Irvings instead of Canadians?</p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"5956625\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, on savait d\u00e9j\u00e0 que les Irving contr\u00f4laient les Maritimes, mais il est de plus en plus clair que leur compagnie contr\u00f4le aussi de plus en plus le gouvernement f\u00e9d\u00e9ral.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5956626\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Ils ont mis la main, dans un premier temps, sur \u00e0 peu pr\u00e8s toutes les sommes disponibles pour la tordeuse des bourgeons de l'\u00e9pinette. Ensuite, ils ont fait main basse sur la majorit\u00e9 des 100 milliards de dollars disponibles pour la strat\u00e9gie d'acquisition navale. Pendant ce temps-l\u00e0, la Davie, l'industrie navale qu\u00e9b\u00e9coise, se fait tasser des contrats de la Garde c\u00f4ti\u00e8re au profit des Irving.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5956627\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Pourquoi le gouvernement est-il au service des Irving plut\u00f4t que de la population?</p>"
