"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"8635535\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Mr. Speaker, there is clearly a lot to unravel in the SDTC file. There is likely some fraud, embezzlement and so on involved, but I would like to ask our Conservative colleague a question.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8635536\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Some people have resigned, including a prestigious business leader, Annette Verschuren. Her companies received a lot of money and, interestingly enough, she was Stephen Harper's economic adviser from 2008 to 2015.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8635537\" data-originallang=\"fr\">It is easy to blame the government. The Conservatives are right and we are correct to blame the government for this situation. However, can our Conservative friends do a little navel-gazing and give us some background on Ms. Verschuren?</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"8635535\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, c\u2019est clair qu\u2019il y a un paquet de choses \u00e0 \u00e9lucider dans le dossier de Technologies du d\u00e9veloppement durable Canada. Il y a probablement eu fraude, malversation ou autre, mais j'aimerais poser une question \u00e0 notre cher coll\u00e8gue conservateur.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8635536\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Il y a eu des d\u00e9missions, notamment celle d\u2019une prestigieuse pr\u00e9sidente d\u2019entreprise, Mme Annette Verschuren. Cette dame a re\u00e7u beaucoup d'argent pour ses entreprises et elle a, comme par hasard, \u00e9t\u00e9 conseill\u00e8re \u00e9conomique de Stephen Harper de 2008 \u00e0 2015.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8635537\" data-originallang=\"fr\">C\u2019est facile d\u2019accuser le gouvernement. Les conservateurs ont raison et nous avons raison d\u2019accuser le gouvernement dans ce dossier. Toutefois, nos amis conservateurs peuvent-ils se regarder le nombril et nous donner des explications sur cette dame, Mme Verschuren?</p>"
