C'\u00e9tait le gouvernement qui d\u00e9terminait quelles revues et quels journalistes allaient recevoir l'argent.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5961001\" data-originallang=\"en\">Dans le cas pr\u00e9sent, le principe d'ind\u00e9pendance est beaucoup mieux respect\u00e9 que sous le gouvernement de Stephen Harper, si bien que je me demande si les principes dont parle le d\u00e9put\u00e9 d'en face auraient pu \u00eatre appliqu\u00e9s du temps de Stephen Harper.</p>"
