"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"4542087\" data-originallang=\"en\"> I'm sorry, I'm not the most polished public speaker, but I think I have some valid points to make.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4542088\" data-originallang=\"en\">First of all, I'd like to say that I do support proportional representation. However, besides that, I'm worried that we might be threatening the advances made with proportional representation if we also go ahead and allow electronic voting or Internet voting, or even electronic vote counting. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4542089\" data-originallang=\"en\">I was very disappointed to hear Marc Mayrand suggest that we should have electronic vote counting in the future. Recently, the supreme court of Germany decided that electronic vote counting was against their constitution because of the threats to the transparent election process. I think it's very important to have transparency in our electoral processes. I really hope that you recommend to the government not to go ahead with any form of electronic voting.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4542090\" data-originallang=\"en\">That's probably two minutes, is it?</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"4542087\" data-originallang=\"en\">Vous m'excuserez, je ne suis pas le plus brillant des orateurs publics, mais je crois que j'ai des opinions valides \u00e0 faire valoir.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4542088\" data-originallang=\"en\">Tout d'abord, j'aimerais dire que je suis en faveur de la repr\u00e9sentation proportionnelle. Je suis toutefois inquiet quant au fait que nous pourrions menacer les progr\u00e8s accomplis en mati\u00e8re de repr\u00e9sentation proportionnelle si nous allons \u00e9galement de l'avant et permettons le vote \u00e9lectronique ou le vote par Internet, ou m\u00eame le comptage \u00e9lectronique des votes.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4542089\" data-originallang=\"en\">J'ai \u00e9t\u00e9 tr\u00e8s d\u00e9\u00e7u d'entendre Marc Mayrand sugg\u00e9rer que nous devrions instaurer le comptage \u00e9lectronique des votes \u00e0 l'avenir. R\u00e9cemment, la Cour supr\u00eame d'Allemagne a statu\u00e9 que le comptage \u00e9lectronique des votes allait \u00e0 l'encontre de leur constitution en raison des menaces envers le processus transparent d'\u00e9lection. Je crois que la transparence est tr\u00e8s importante dans nos processus \u00e9lectoraux. Je souhaite ardemment que vous recommandiez au gouvernement de ne pas aller de l'avant avec quelque forme de vote \u00e9lectronique que ce soit.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4542090\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mes deux minutes sont probablement \u00e9coul\u00e9es, n'est-ce pas?</p>"
