"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"8723254\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, I thank the hon. member for his explanation about the French word for \u201cslush\u201d. I will now use it in French.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8723255\" data-originallang=\"en\">This is unprecedented. There are 186 cases we know about. There could be way more than that. It could go much deeper than $400 million and 186 cases.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8723256\" data-originallang=\"en\">I still cannot comprehend how we can accept that this happened in Canada. I have had different experiences in countries where corruption has become a culture, and I do not want corruption to become a culture in Canada. That is why we have to be very careful.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8723257\" data-originallang=\"en\">The government has a responsibility to do the right thing, show the documents and make sure that people who misuse funds for personal use are accountable for their actions.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"8723254\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, je remercie le d\u00e9put\u00e9 d'avoir expliqu\u00e9 la signification du mot \u00ab sloche \u00bb en fran\u00e7ais. Je vais maintenant l'utiliser en fran\u00e7ais.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8723255\" data-originallang=\"en\">C'est sans pr\u00e9c\u00e9dent. Pas moins de 186 cas ont \u00e9t\u00e9 port\u00e9s \u00e0 notre connaissance, mais il pourrait y en avoir beaucoup d'autres. L'affaire va beaucoup plus loin que ces 400 millions de dollars et ces 186 cas.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8723256\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je n'arrive toujours pas \u00e0 comprendre comment on peut accepter qu'une telle chose se soit produite au Canada. J'ai v\u00e9cu dans des pays o\u00f9 s'\u00e9tait d\u00e9velopp\u00e9e une culture de la corruption, et je ne veux pas qu'il en soit ainsi au Canada. Voil\u00e0 pourquoi nous devons \u00eatre tr\u00e8s vigilants.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8723257\" data-originallang=\"en\">Le gouvernement a le devoir de faire ce qui s'impose, c'est-\u00e0-dire produire les documents et faire en sorte que les personnes qui ont d\u00e9tourn\u00e9 des fonds publics \u00e0 des fins personnelles r\u00e9pondent de leurs actes.</p>"
