Why? It is because the Liberals are running two sets of books.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5889960\" data-originallang=\"en\">The report that just came out from the Macdonald-Laurier Institute includes a redacted copy of the original Auditor General's report from last fall, which recommended \u201cNational Defence should not purchase interim aircraft\u201d. It is right there, and the Liberals took it out.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5889961\" data-originallang=\"en\">The Liberals have also said that they are part of the joint strike fighter program, but there are two letters from the Pentagon and the U.S. Department of Defense indicating that jobs are at risk in Canada because Canada has not been following the rules under the memorandum of understanding between all nine partner nations.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5889962\" data-originallang=\"en\">Under the joint strike fighter program, 900 direct jobs have been created, $1.35 billion in benefits have been provided and 9,000 indirect jobs have been created. The Liberals are going to squander all of this for partisan purposes, and this is not in Canada's national interest.</p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"5889958\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, je n'ai aucune le\u00e7on \u00e0 recevoir des lib\u00e9raux.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5889959\" data-originallang=\"en\">Selon le rapport du directeur parlementaire du budget publi\u00e9 au printemps dernier, le programme des avions de chasse australiens co\u00fbtera 22 % de plus que ce qui \u00e9tait pr\u00e9vu. Pourquoi? Parce que les lib\u00e9raux tiennent une double comptabilit\u00e9.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5889960\" data-originallang=\"en\">Le rapport qui vient d'\u00eatre publi\u00e9 par l'Institut Macdonald-Laurier inclut une copie censur\u00e9e du rapport original du v\u00e9rificateur g\u00e9n\u00e9ral de l'automne dernier. On peut y lire la recommandation selon laquelle \u00ab la D\u00e9fense nationale ne devrait pas acheter d'a\u00e9ronefs pour un usage provisoire \u00bb. C'\u00e9tait \u00e9crit en toutes lettres, mais les lib\u00e9raux l'ont supprim\u00e9e.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5889961\" data-originallang=\"en\">Les lib\u00e9raux ont aussi affirm\u00e9 qu'ils font partie du programme d'avions de combat interarm\u00e9es. Or, deux lettres du Pentagone et du d\u00e9partement am\u00e9ricain de la D\u00e9fense indiquent que des emplois sont en p\u00e9ril ici parce que le Canada n'a pas suivi les r\u00e8gles du protocole d'entente entre les neuf pays partenaires.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5889962\" data-originallang=\"en\">Dans le cadre du programme d'avions de combat interarm\u00e9es, on a cr\u00e9\u00e9 900 emplois directs et 9 000 emplois indirects, en plus de g\u00e9n\u00e9rer des retomb\u00e9es de 1,35 milliard de dollars. Les lib\u00e9raux vont tout g\u00e2cher \u00e0 des fins partisanes. Ce n'est pas dans l'int\u00e9r\u00eat national du Canada.</p>"
