"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"6735757\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madam Speaker, that is a great comment from my colleague from <a data-HoCid=\"252566\" href=\"/politicians/damien-kurek/\" title=\"Damien Kurek\">Battle River\u2014Crowfoot</a>. We talked about accountability. It has been in the papers a lot concerning the Canadian emergency wage subsidy. It is the largest support program of the COVID crisis and totals $100 billion. We have heard money has gone to wealthy hedge fund managers and to multinational corporations. We even heard we were giving taxpayers' money to a Chinese state-owned company.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6735758\" data-originallang=\"en\">When we asked the president of the Treasury Board what oversight he provided for the $100 billion and if it went through the Treasury Board process as required, his comment was that he did not know. His job is to oversee the spending and he did not even know whether it went through the process. It did not, and the results are showing.</p>",

Nous avons parl\u00e9 de reddition de compte. On en a beaucoup parl\u00e9 dans les journaux au sujet de la Subvention salariale d'urgence du Canada. Il s'agit du plus important programme de soutien pendant la crise de la COVID-19 et il s'\u00e9l\u00e8ve \u00e0 100 milliards de dollars. Nous avons entendu dire que de l'argent avait \u00e9t\u00e9 vers\u00e9 \u00e0 de riches gestionnaires de fonds sp\u00e9culatifs et \u00e0 des soci\u00e9t\u00e9s multinationales. Nous avons m\u00eame entendu dire que le gouvernement donnait de l'argent des contribuables \u00e0 une entreprise d'\u00c9tat chinoise.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6735758\" data-originallang=\"en\">Lorsque nous avons questionn\u00e9 le pr\u00e9sident du Conseil du Tr\u00e9sor au sujet des mesures de contr\u00f4le visant les 100 milliards de dollars et si le processus du Conseil du Tr\u00e9sor avait \u00e9t\u00e9 suivi comme il se doit, il a r\u00e9pondu qu'il l'ignorait. Son travail consiste \u00e0 superviser les d\u00e9penses et il ne savait m\u00eame pas si elles avaient \u00e9t\u00e9 soumises au processus. La r\u00e9ponse est non, et les r\u00e9sultats en t\u00e9moignent.</p>"
