He talked about Liberal government corruption and lack of transparency. I want to go back in history because it is important to remember what happened. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8608617\" data-originallang=\"fr\">The Conservative Party claims to be the party of common sense, transparency, of fighting corruption in this world. However, when the Conservatives were in power, they diverted funds. I would remind my colleague that former Conservative minister Tony Clement, diverted not $10 million, not $20 million, not $30 million, not $40 million, but $50 million to his riding during the G8 summit.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8608618\" data-originallang=\"fr\">He does not remember, this morning. I would also like to remind him of the questions of privilege that his government did not comply with at the time. The Conservative government did not produce the documents during the Afghan detainee transfer scandal. There was also the Senate expenses scandal, the robocall affair, and omnibus Bill C\u201138 to implement budget 2012.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8608619\" data-originallang=\"fr\">I have a simple question for my colleague. How are Quebeckers supposed to have confidence in a potential future Conservative government when the Conservatives have such a poor record?</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"8608616\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, <em>Je me souviens</em> est la devise des Qu\u00e9b\u00e9cois et des Qu\u00e9b\u00e9coises. J'aimerais que mon coll\u00e8gue se souvienne, ce matin, de certains \u00e9v\u00e9nements. Il a parl\u00e9 de corruption du gouvernement lib\u00e9ral, de manque de transparence. Je vais lui faire un rappel historique, parce que c'est important de se rappeler ce qui s'est pass\u00e9.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8608617\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Le Parti conservateur se dit le parti du gros bon sens, de la transparence, de la lutte contre la corruption de ce monde. Pourtant, quand les conservateurs \u00e9taient au pouvoir, ils ont d\u00e9tourn\u00e9 des fonds. Je rappelle \u00e0 mon coll\u00e8gue l'histoire de l'ancien ministre conservateur Tony Clement, qui avait d\u00e9tourn\u00e9 dans sa circonscription lors du sommet du G8 non pas 10 ni 20 ni 30 ni 40, mais bien 50 millions de dollars.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8608618\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Il ne s'en souvient pas, ce matin. Je lui rappelle \u00e9galement les questions de privil\u00e8ge que son gouvernement n'avait pas respect\u00e9es, \u00e0 l'\u00e9poque. Le gouvernement conservateur n'avait pas transmis les documents lors du scandale des transferts des prisonniers afghans. On peut aussi penser au scandale des d\u00e9penses du S\u00e9nat, \u00e0 l'affaire des <em>robocalls</em>, au projet de loi omnibus C\u201138 sur la mise en \u0153uvre du budget en 2012.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8608619\" data-originallang=\"fr\">J'aimerais poser une question simple \u00e0 mon coll\u00e8gue. Avec un aussi pi\u00e8tre bilan, comment est-ce que les Qu\u00e9b\u00e9cois et les Qu\u00e9b\u00e9coises peuvent faire confiance \u00e0 un possible futur gouvernement conservateur?</p>"
