Kristian Firth, one of the co-owners of GC Strategies, is a ghost contractor and key player in arrive scam who was ordered to appear at committee. When asked if a senior government official had a cottage, he said no. However, when pressed, Firth said that it is a chalet, not a cottage. People in rural Ontario do not speak the same language as the Liberal elite, but they do know when someone is lying.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8002601\" data-originallang=\"en\">When asked if he met with another senior government official in their house, Firth again said no, but documents prove that he did. He was asked if he met with government officials after hours in their homes. He said no, but when I pressed him, he admitted that he did in fact meet with some government officials in their homes. There were so many meetings between a shady contractor and government officials that he cannot even remember them.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8002602\" data-originallang=\"en\">We have ordered him back to committee with his bank records. Conservatives are going to get answers with respect to the <a data-HoCid=\"214296\" href=\"/politicians/justin-trudeau/\" title=\"Justin Trudeau\">Prime Minister</a>'s $54-million arrive scam.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"8002600\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madame la Pr\u00e9sidente, les d\u00e9put\u00e9s ne croiront pas ce qui s'est pass\u00e9 hier lors d'une audience d'un comit\u00e9 au sujet de l'application ArnaqueCAN de 54 millions de dollars du <a data-HoCid=\"214296\" href=\"/politicians/justin-trudeau/\" title=\"Justin Trudeau\">premier ministre</a>, qui fait actuellement l'objet d'une enqu\u00eate de la part de la Gendarmerie royale du Canada. Kristian Firth, qui est l'un des copropri\u00e9taires de l'entreprise fant\u00f4me GC Strategies et un acteur cl\u00e9 dans le dossier ArriveCAN, a re\u00e7u l'ordre de compara\u00eetre devant le comit\u00e9. Lorsqu'on lui a demand\u00e9 si un haut fonctionnaire avait un chalet, il a r\u00e9pondu par la n\u00e9gative. Toutefois, lorsqu'on l'a press\u00e9, M. Firth a d\u00e9clar\u00e9 qu'il s'agissait d'une maison de campagne et non d'un chalet. Les habitants des r\u00e9gions rurales de l'Ontario ne parlent pas la m\u00eame langue que l'\u00e9lite lib\u00e9rale, mais ils sont capables de voir qu'une personne ment.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8002601\" data-originallang=\"en\">Lorsqu'on lui a demand\u00e9 s'il avait rencontr\u00e9 un autre haut fonctionnaire \u00e0 son domicile, M. Firth a de nouveau r\u00e9pondu par la n\u00e9gative, mais des documents prouvent qu'il l'a fait. On lui a demand\u00e9 s'il avait rencontr\u00e9 des fonctionnaires hors des heures de bureau, \u00e0 leur domicile. Il a r\u00e9pondu par la n\u00e9gative, mais lorsque j'ai insist\u00e9, il a admis qu'il avait effectivement rencontr\u00e9 certains fonctionnaires \u00e0 leur domicile. Il y a eu tellement de r\u00e9unions entre cet entrepreneur v\u00e9reux et des fonctionnaires qu'il ne peut m\u00eame pas s'en souvenir.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8002602\" data-originallang=\"en\">Nous lui avons ordonn\u00e9 de recompara\u00eetre devant le comit\u00e9 avec ses relev\u00e9s bancaires. Les conservateurs vont obtenir des r\u00e9ponses dans le dossier de l'application ArnaqueCAN de 54 millions de dollars du <a data-HoCid=\"214296\" href=\"/politicians/justin-trudeau/\" title=\"Justin Trudeau\">premier ministre</a>.</p>"
