I would like to remind members of some historical facts about the Conservative Party, and especially what our colleague from <a data-HoCid=\"278428\" href=\"/politicians/gerard-deltell/\" title=\"G\u00e9rard Deltell\">Louis-Saint-Laurent</a> just mentioned, which also highlights the 25 years of service of our colleague from Brandon\u2014Souris.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8645745\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Members will recall that there certainly was corruption when the Conservative Party was in power. Former Conservative minister Tony Clement misappropriated funds, and not just $10 million, $20 million, $30 million or $40 million. He misappropriated $50 million, funnelling it directly to his riding. Members will also recall the corruption scandal involving robocalls. A member of the Conservative Party served nine months in prison for giving false information.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8645746\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Therefore, I would like my colleague to explain why Quebeckers should trust a Conservative government, which has betrayed people's trust in the past.</p>",

Alors, j'aimerais rappeler les faits historiques concernant le Parti conservateur, et surtout ce que vient de mentionner notre coll\u00e8gue de <a data-HoCid=\"278428\" href=\"/politicians/gerard-deltell/\" title=\"G\u00e9rard Deltell\">Louis-Saint-Laurent</a>, qui souligne par ailleurs les 25 ans de service de notre coll\u00e8gue de Brandon\u2014Souris.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8645745\" data-originallang=\"fr\">On se rappelle que, lorsque le Parti conservateur \u00e9tait au pouvoir, il y a eu de la corruption et des d\u00e9tournements de fonds de la part de l'ancien ministre conservateur Tony Clement. Il ne s'agissait pas de 10, 20, 30 ou 40 millions de dollars, mais bien de 50 millions de dollars qui ont \u00e9t\u00e9 d\u00e9tourn\u00e9s et qui ont \u00e9t\u00e9 vers\u00e9s directement dans sa circonscription. On se rappellera aussi le scandale de corruption concernant les \u00ab Robocalls \u00bb. Un membre du Parti conservateur a fait neuf mois de prison pour avoir donn\u00e9 de fausses informations.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8645746\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Alors, j'aimerais que mon coll\u00e8gue m'explique comment les Qu\u00e9b\u00e9cois et les Qu\u00e9b\u00e9coises peuvent faire confiance \u00e0 ce gouvernement, qui a trahi la confiance dans le pass\u00e9.</p>"
