In fact, the <a data-HoCid=\"278714\" href=\"/politicians/jagmeet-singh/\" title=\"Jagmeet Singh\">NDP leader</a> asked a question in the House in which he expressed the view that these contracts should be made public. However, since then, the NDP has flip-flopped, voted with the Liberals to bury the contracts and suggested that we just do an ATIP request instead. We all know the problems associated with the ATIP system. Parliamentary committees have a right to request unfettered access to documents.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8122924\" data-originallang=\"en\">Why did the NDP flip-flop, abandon workers, give in to the Liberal filibuster and agree to support the government's efforts to bury the contracts?</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"8122922\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, j\u2019aimerais poser au NPD une question qui porte express\u00e9ment sur les travailleurs de remplacement.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8122923\" data-originallang=\"en\">Au d\u00e9part, les conservateurs, le NPD et le Bloc \u00e9taient tous d\u2019accord pour mettre au jour des contrats sign\u00e9s par l'\u00c9tat qui semblaient autoriser le recours \u00e0 des travailleurs de remplacement \u00e9trangers pour des projets subventionn\u00e9s \u00e0 m\u00eame les fonds publics. Le <a data-HoCid=\"278714\" href=\"/politicians/jagmeet-singh/\" title=\"Jagmeet Singh\">chef du NPD</a> avait m\u00eame d\u00e9clar\u00e9, en posant une question \u00e0 la Chambre, que ces contrats devaient \u00eatre rendus publics. Depuis ce temps, cependant, le NPD a fait volte-face: il a vot\u00e9 avec les lib\u00e9raux pour que la question des contrats soit \u00e9touff\u00e9e, en proposant de nous contenter de faire plut\u00f4t une demande d\u2019acc\u00e8s \u00e0 l\u2019information. Nous sommes tous au courant des probl\u00e8mes qu'il y a avec le r\u00e9gime d\u2019acc\u00e8s \u00e0 l\u2019information. Les comit\u00e9s parlementaires ont le droit de r\u00e9clamer un acc\u00e8s illimit\u00e9 aux documents.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8122924\" data-originallang=\"en\">Pourquoi le NPD a-t-il fait volte-face, laissant ainsi tomber les travailleurs, et c\u00e9d\u00e9 \u00e0 l'obstructionnisme des lib\u00e9raux en acceptant d'aider le gouvernement \u00e0 dissimuler ces contrats? </p>"
