"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"8569041\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Mr. Speaker, the Harper government cleaned this up and put in a new chair, Jim Balsillie; hired a new CEO; and got a clean bill of health from the Auditor General and Treasury Board in 2017. Then the chair, Jim Balsillie, started to criticize the government in public on its lack of action on the surveillance economy. Guess what Navdeep Bains did. He said Balsillie had to go because he would not shut up about criticizing the government. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8569042\" data-originallang=\"en\">The Liberals tossed Balsillie out and put in a chair who, they were told repeatedly by SDTC, should not be in the position because she was the first conflicted chair in the history of SDTC. Even a former PMO staffer, who did communications and was in SDTC, phoned her colleagues in the minister's office and the PMO and said this person was conflicted. Guess what former minister Navdeep Bains said. By the way, he is the guy in charge of the highest cellphone rates in the world at Rogers now. Former minister Navdeep Bains said the government would manage the conflict. They sure managed the conflict, with $390 million of taxpayer money going to conflicted directors.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"8569041\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, le gouvernement Harper avait fait le m\u00e9nage, il avait nomm\u00e9 un nouveau pr\u00e9sident, Jim Balsillie, et il avait embauch\u00e9 une nouvelle pr\u00e9sidente-directrice g\u00e9n\u00e9rale; en 2017, le v\u00e9rificateur g\u00e9n\u00e9ral et le Conseil du Tr\u00e9sor avaient donc jug\u00e9 que tout \u00e9tait rentr\u00e9 dans l'ordre. Ce pr\u00e9sident, Jim Balsillie, a ensuite commenc\u00e9 \u00e0 critiquer publiquement le gouvernement pour son inaction au sujet de l'\u00e9conomie de la surveillance. Quelle a \u00e9t\u00e9 la r\u00e9ponse de Navdeep Bains? Il a d\u00e9cid\u00e9 que M. Balsillie, qui n'arr\u00eatait pas de critiquer le gouvernement, devait partir. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8569042\" data-originallang=\"en\">Les lib\u00e9raux se sont d\u00e9barrass\u00e9s de Jim Balsillie et ils ont nomm\u00e9 une pr\u00e9sidente, qui, selon les avertissements r\u00e9p\u00e9t\u00e9s de Technologies du d\u00e9veloppement durable Canada, n'aurait pas d\u00fb occuper ce poste, car elle devenait la premi\u00e8re pr\u00e9sidente de l'histoire de l'organisation \u00e0 \u00eatre en situation de conflit d'int\u00e9r\u00eats. Une ancienne employ\u00e9e du Cabinet du premier ministre qui \u00e9tait charg\u00e9e des communications et qui \u00e9tait \u00e0 Technologies du d\u00e9veloppement durable Canada a m\u00eame t\u00e9l\u00e9phon\u00e9 \u00e0 ses coll\u00e8gues au cabinet du ministre et au Cabinet du premier ministre pour signaler que cette personne \u00e9tait en situation de conflit d'int\u00e9r\u00eats. Qu'est-ce que le ministre Navdeep Bains a r\u00e9pondu? En passant, il est maintenant responsable des tarifs de t\u00e9l\u00e9phonie cellulaire les plus \u00e9lev\u00e9s de la plan\u00e8te, chez Rogers. Bref, l'ex-ministre Navdeep Bains a dit que le gouvernement allait g\u00e9rer le conflit \u2014 et quelle gestion: 390 millions de dollars du tr\u00e9sor public sont all\u00e9s \u00e0 des directeurs en situation de conflit. </p>"
