This is how we keep society free from corruption and how the government keeps the public's trust. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8638715\" data-originallang=\"fr\">We have here a striking example of a situation where that is not happening. How can the public trust its government if the government disregards an order it received from the House?</p>",

C\u2019est comme \u00e7a que nous pouvons nous assurer que notre soci\u00e9t\u00e9 n\u2019est pas corrompue et que le gouvernement va maintenir la confiance du peuple.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8638715\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Voil\u00e0 un exemple flagrant de situation dans laquelle \u00e7a ne se passe pas. Comment le peuple peut-il avoir confiance en son gouvernement si celui-ci re\u00e7oit un ordre de la Chambre et qu\u2019il ne le respecte pas?</p>"
