I'll try to be brief.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"815639\" data-originallang=\"en\">Let me simply start by saying it seems that the plan of action you've chosen to take has a fatal flaw in it. First of all, we've lost valuable days. If you start counting from Thursday, when my motion passed, that's Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday now, and it'll be Thursday, at the minimum. That's eight days lost, when we're up against a hard deadline.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"815640\" data-originallang=\"en\">But there would be a hollow victory at best with the course of action you're recommending in that if, by some miracle, we get Mr. Schreiber here on Thursday at 11 o'clock, it will be for one day under the course of action that you've contemplated, because the extradition order would still stand and the deadline would still be there.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"815641\" data-originallang=\"en\">The course of action that I recommended from day one, and have implored you, begged you, to adopt was to go the Speaker's warrant route, with two warrants. One is to\u2014</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"815638\" data-originallang=\"en\">Merci, monsieur le pr\u00e9sident. Je vais essayer d'\u00eatre bref. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"815639\" data-originallang=\"en\">Permettez-moi de commencer en disant que le plan d'action que vous avez choisi comporte une lacune qui ne pardonne pas. Premi\u00e8rement, nous avons perdu des jours pr\u00e9cieux. Si vous partez le compteur jeudi, au moment o\u00f9 ma motion a \u00e9t\u00e9 adopt\u00e9e, vous comptez jeudi, vendredi, samedi, dimanche, lundi, mardi \u2014 maintenant \u2014, puis ce sera jeudi, au minimum. C'est huit jours de perdus, \u00e0 un moment o\u00f9 nous travaillons en fonction d'un d\u00e9lai serr\u00e9. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"815640\" data-originallang=\"en\">La voie que vous recommandez nous donnerait au mieux une victoire vide de sens, car si, par quelque miracle, nous faisons appara\u00eetre M. Schreiber ici jeudi \u00e0 11 heures, ce sera pour une seule journ\u00e9e d'apr\u00e8s la voie que vous envisagez, car l'arr\u00eat\u00e9 d'extradition aurait toujours cours, et le d\u00e9lai, lui, demeurerait. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"815641\" data-originallang=\"en\">La voie que je recommande depuis le premier jour, et je vous ai implor\u00e9, je vous ai suppli\u00e9 de l'adopter, c'est de s'adresser au Pr\u00e9sident de la Chambre pour qu'il prenne deux mandats. Le premier consisterait \u00e0...</p>"
