"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"8848777\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Mr. Speaker, the Auditor General just released a scathing audit on arrive scam contractor GC Strategies. Last year, the government awarded 106 contracts to GC Strategies, worth a total of $92 million, with $64 million already paid out. However, 50% of these contracts did not enforce security requirements. Much of the work performed was not monitored. Many contractors did not have the experience or qualifications needed. Procurement policies were not followed, and there was no demonstration of value for money, nor that deliverables were actually received. Yet, unbelievably, the government kept authorizing payment. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8848778\" data-originallang=\"en\">Every time there is a Liberal corruption scandal, it seems that the ministers responsible get promoted and the taxpayer gets the bill. Conservatives are calling on the government to get taxpayers their money back within 100 days and impose a lifetime contracting ban on GC Strategies. Canadians are watching to see if the government will actually support them in getting their money back. </p>",

L'ann\u00e9e derni\u00e8re, le gouvernement a accord\u00e9 106 contrats \u00e0 GCStrategies, pour un total de 92 millions de dollars, dont 64 millions de dollars qui ont d\u00e9j\u00e0 \u00e9t\u00e9 vers\u00e9s. Cependant, 50 % de ces contrats ne respectaient pas les exigences de s\u00e9curit\u00e9. Une grande partie du travail effectu\u00e9 n'a pas \u00e9t\u00e9 surveill\u00e9e. De nombreux entrepreneurs n'avaient ni l'exp\u00e9rience ni les qualifications requises. Les politiques d'approvisionnement n'ont pas \u00e9t\u00e9 suivies, et il n'y a pas eu de d\u00e9monstration de l'optimisation des ressources ni de r\u00e9ception des livrables \u00e0 proprement parler. Pourtant, aussi incroyable que cela puisse para\u00eetre, le gouvernement a continu\u00e9 d'autoriser les paiements.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8848778\" data-originallang=\"en\">Chaque fois qu'il y a un scandale de corruption lib\u00e9rale, il semble que les ministres responsables obtiennent des promotions et que les contribuables paient la note. Les conservateurs demandent au gouvernement de r\u00e9cup\u00e9rer l'argent des contribuables dans les 100 jours et d'imposer une interdiction de march\u00e9 \u00e0 vie \u00e0 GCStrategies. Les Canadiens attendent de voir si le gouvernement les aidera \u00e0 r\u00e9cup\u00e9rer leur argent.</p>"
