I can understand that his friends invited him, but he went on vacation at Prospect Estate, a rental property where people pay between $1,100 U.S. and $8,000 U.S. per day.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7697738\" data-originallang=\"fr\">The Prime Minister vacationed at a rental property. Accommodation for other members of his team and entourage were also paid for. The problem is that from an ethical and moral point of view, the Prime minister must pay for his personal expenses. Will he pay back the $80,000 he owes?</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"7697736\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, l'\u00e9quipe du premier ministre lui a fait un breffage avant son voyage. Elle lui a dit de faire attention \u00e0 la perception. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7697737\" data-originallang=\"fr\">On parle de la perception relative au fait que le premier ministre est all\u00e9 en voyage chez des amis multimillionnaires alors que les Canadiens souffraient, durant le temps des F\u00eates, \u00e0 cause d'un manque d'argent. Je veux bien comprendre que ses amis l'aient invit\u00e9, mais on appelle l'endroit o\u00f9 il est all\u00e9 un <em>Prospect Estate</em>. C'est une propri\u00e9t\u00e9 qui est lou\u00e9e, o\u00f9 les gens vont et paient entre 1 100 dollars am\u00e9ricains et 8 000 dollars am\u00e9ricains par jour.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7697738\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Le premier ministre a \u00e9t\u00e9 accueilli dans un endroit qui est fait pour \u00eatre lou\u00e9. On a aussi pay\u00e9 des installations \u00e0 d'autres personnes de l'\u00e9quipe, de l'entourage. Le probl\u00e8me, c'est que, d'un point de vue \u00e9thique et moral, le premier ministre doit payer ses d\u00e9penses personnelles. Va-t-il payer les 80 000 $ qui sont dus?</p>"
