"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"8326231\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, yesterday the procurement ombud published his damning report of the government's cozy relationship with McKinsey. McKinsey was led by Dominic Barton, a close adviser and personal friend of the <a data-HoCid=\"214296\" href=\"/politicians/justin-trudeau/\" title=\"Justin Trudeau\">Prime Minister</a>. Barton and McKinsey were responsible for turbocharging opioid sales, fuelling the opioid crisis we face today. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8326232\" data-originallang=\"en\">The ombud found that the Liberal government changed the requirements for contracts to allow McKinsey to qualify. In one instance, it even disqualified the winning bid to ensure McKinsey received the contract. Then it switched to sole-sourced contracts, giving McKinsey tens of millions of dollars without any justification. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8326233\" data-originallang=\"en\">We have also learned that a minister personally approved one of these sole-sourced contracts, worth $5.7 million. No wonder the NDP-Liberal coalition blocked Conservatives from getting the unredacted documents they asked for. This cover-up must end. Canadians deserve answers.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"8326231\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, hier, l'ombudsman de l'approvisionnement a publi\u00e9 un rapport accablant sur le copinage entre le gouvernement et la soci\u00e9t\u00e9 McKinsey. Cette derni\u00e8re \u00e9tait dirig\u00e9e par Dominic Barton, un proche conseiller et un ami personnel du <a data-HoCid=\"214296\" href=\"/politicians/justin-trudeau/\" title=\"Justin Trudeau\">premier ministre</a>. Barton et McKinsey sont responsables de la flamb\u00e9e des ventes d'opio\u00efdes, ce qui a aliment\u00e9 la crise des opio\u00efdes que nous traversons actuellement.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8326232\" data-originallang=\"en\">L'ombudsman a constat\u00e9 que le gouvernement lib\u00e9ral avait modifi\u00e9 les exigences de contrats afin de permettre \u00e0 McKinsey de se qualifier. Dans un cas en particulier, il a m\u00eame exclu la soumission gagnante pour s'assurer que McKinsey obtienne le contrat. Puis, il a commenc\u00e9 \u00e0 accorder des contrats \u00e0 fournisseur unique et \u00e0 donner \u00e0 McKinsey des dizaines de millions de dollars sans la moindre justification.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8326233\" data-originallang=\"en\">Nous avons \u00e9galement appris qu'une ministre a personnellement approuv\u00e9 l'un de ces contrats \u00e0 fournisseur unique d'une valeur de 5,7 millions de dollars. Pas \u00e9tonnant que la coalition n\u00e9o-d\u00e9mocrate\u2014lib\u00e9rale ait emp\u00each\u00e9 les conservateurs d'obtenir les documents non caviard\u00e9s qu'ils ont demand\u00e9s. Cette op\u00e9ration de camouflage doit cesser. Les Canadiens m\u00e9ritent des r\u00e9ponses.</p>"
