"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"9356290\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Chair, this is a different question. The question is about a contractor who worked on the budget speech.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"9356291\" data-originallang=\"en\">My understanding is that this is separate from your letter in September. It was a contract worth $12,168. I would encourage you to use your officials who are here in the chamber with you. The contract identified a vendor. The vendor's last name is \u00c9mond, and I am wondering if the minister can confirm that this contract was awarded. It is open-source. It is published online: $12,168 to help with the budget presentation and speech. Can he confirm that?</p>",

La question porte sur un fournisseur qui a travaill\u00e9 sur le discours du budget.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"9356291\" data-originallang=\"en\">Si j'ai bien compris, cela n'a rien \u00e0 voir avec votre lettre de septembre. Il s'agissait d'un contrat d'une valeur de 12 168 $. Je vous invite \u00e0 faire appel \u00e0 vos collaborateurs qui se trouvent \u00e0 la Chambre avec vous. Le contrat mentionnait un fournisseur. Le nom de famille de ce fournisseur est \u00c9mond, et je me demande si le ministre peut confirmer que ce contrat a bien \u00e9t\u00e9 attribu\u00e9. Il s'agit d'une information accessible \u00e0 tous. Elle est publi\u00e9e en ligne: 12 168 $ pour aider \u00e0 pr\u00e9parer le discours et la pr\u00e9sentation du budget. Peut-il le confirmer?</p>"
