"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"8424800\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Mr. Speaker, it is unbelievable to me that the NDP-Liberals are still defending the arrive scam policy. The fact is that this app was a disaster. Sixty million dollars was spent. A big chunk of it went to this do-nothing middleman company. Most versions of the app, according to the Auditor General, were not tested. As a result, over 10,000 people who followed all the rules were accidentally sent into quarantine because of a glitch in the app. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8424801\" data-originallang=\"en\">We can imagine that someone does everything they are supposed to. They are coming back home; they are supposed to be able to see their family and get back to work. They are sent into quarantine, not because they are supposed to go, but because the government could not be bothered to test the app. Rather, it hired two guys working out of a basement with no IT experience, who went on LinkedIn to find other people to do the work.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8424802\" data-originallang=\"en\"> The Auditor General very clearly said that there is no excuse. The government continues to make excuses in spite of it. Does the government have no shame? Will it finally admit what a disaster the arrive scam policy was?</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"8424800\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, je n'arrive pas \u00e0 croire que les n\u00e9o-d\u00e9mocrates\u2014lib\u00e9raux d\u00e9fendent encore ArnaqueCAN. C'est une \u00e9vidence, cette application \u00e9tait un d\u00e9sastre. On a d\u00e9pens\u00e9 60 millions de dollars. Une bonne partie de cet argent est all\u00e9e \u00e0 une entreprise interm\u00e9diaire qui ne fait rien. Selon la v\u00e9rificatrice g\u00e9n\u00e9rale, la plupart des versions de l'application n'ont jamais \u00e9t\u00e9 test\u00e9es. C'est ce qui explique que 10 000 personnes qui avaient suivi toutes les r\u00e8gles ont \u00e9t\u00e9 envoy\u00e9es en quarantaine par erreur \u00e0 cause d'un bogue dans l'application. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8424801\" data-originallang=\"en\">On peut imaginer la situation. Une personne a fait tout ce qu'elle devait faire. Elle revient chez elle; elle devrait pouvoir retrouver sa famille et recommencer \u00e0 travailler. On lui dit qu'elle doit aller en quarantaine, pas parce que c'est ce qui est cens\u00e9 lui arriver, mais parce que le gouvernement n'a m\u00eame pas pris la peine de tester son application. Il s'est content\u00e9 d'embaucher deux gars dans leur sous-sol qui n'avaient aucune exp\u00e9rience en informatique et qui ont \u00e9cum\u00e9 LinkedIn pour trouver des gens pour faire le travail demand\u00e9. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8424802\" data-originallang=\"en\"> La v\u00e9rificatrice g\u00e9n\u00e9rale a clairement dit qu'il n'y avait pas d'excuse. Le gouvernement continue quand m\u00eame de trouver des excuses. Le gouvernement n'a-t-il pas honte? Va-t-il admettre qu'ArnaqueCAN \u00e9tait un d\u00e9sastre? </p>"
