"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"6735677\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madam Speaker, I think what was so frustrating with the WE brothers scandal was that the government had asked every member of Parliament to work with it, in terms of getting jobs for students on the ground last spring. We had all done that work. It would have worked great, but instead we had over half a billion dollars diverted to the Kielburger brothers, who were not signed up to lobby. They could walk right into the then finance minister's office. We can see from the Ethics Commissioner's report that they would talk to staff in the then finance minister's office, calling and saying, \u201cHey, girl.\u201d What kind of group gets that kind of insider access and then gets $500 million without a due diligence report? There was no proof that those guys could actually pull that scheme off. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6735678\" data-originallang=\"en\">We have gone through 5,000 pages of documents. We have not seen any due diligence reports. This damaged the <a data-HoCid=\"214296\" href=\"/politicians/justin-trudeau/\" title=\"Justin Trudeau\">Prime Minister</a> dramatically. This program hurt students. There needs to be some accountability for how this thing went off the rails so badly.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"6735677\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madame la Pr\u00e9sidente, le scandale des fr\u00e8res Kielburger est d'autant plus intol\u00e9rable que le gouvernement avait demand\u00e9 \u00e0 tous les d\u00e9put\u00e9s de l'aider \u00e0 cr\u00e9er des emplois pour les \u00e9tudiants sur le terrain au printemps dernier. Nous avons tous fait le travail demand\u00e9. Cela aurait donn\u00e9 des r\u00e9sultats formidables, mais le gouvernement a choisi plut\u00f4t de d\u00e9tourner plus d'un demi-milliard de dollars au profit des fr\u00e8res Kielburger, qui n'\u00e9taient pas inscrits pour faire du lobbying. Ils pouvaient entrer sans probl\u00e8me dans le bureau du ministre des Finances de l'\u00e9poque. Selon le rapport du commissaire \u00e0 l'\u00e9thique, ils avaient coutume d'interpeller par des \u00ab Hey girl \u00bb les membres du personnel du bureau du ministre des Finances de l'\u00e9poque. Quel genre de groupe obtient ce type d'acc\u00e8s privil\u00e9gi\u00e9 et re\u00e7oit ensuite 500 millions de dollars sans rapport de diligence raisonnable? Il n'y avait aucune preuve que ces deux hommes pouvaient vraiment r\u00e9aliser le plan. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6735678\" data-originallang=\"en\">Nous avons pass\u00e9 en revue 5 000 pages de documents. Nous n'avons vu aucun rapport de diligence raisonnable. Cela a grandement port\u00e9 atteinte au <a data-HoCid=\"214296\" href=\"/politicians/justin-trudeau/\" title=\"Justin Trudeau\">premier ministre</a>. Ce programme a nui aux \u00e9tudiants. Le gouvernement doit rendre des comptes et expliquer comment les choses ont d\u00e9raill\u00e9 \u00e0 ce point.</p>"
