        "en": "<p data-HoCid=\"6886739\" data-originallang=\"en\">I would respectfully challenge your ruling.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6886740\" data-originallang=\"en\">I think one of the things to understand is that this bill does provide for pandemic benefits of a type, inadequate as they may be, and this amendment is also about ensuring that those future benefits, if paid out to seniors in a like situation\u2014say, under the Canada worker lockdown benefit\u2014are not included in the calculation for their guaranteed income supplement next year.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6886741\" data-originallang=\"en\"> The topic of the bill, as has been the case for the entire proceeding since it began, has been pandemic benefits. This amendment, while it does apply to previous pandemic amendments.... I was just up defending the idea that this bill should be kept together after all, because there is an important overarching theme of the bill in terms of how we restart our recovery, but this amendment does actually apply to the benefits listed in the bill as well. I think it's not quite fair to say that it's out of scope or that it doesn't legitimately touch on the issues already raised within the bill. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6886742\" data-originallang=\"en\">It is for that reason that I would contest your ruling, Mr. Chair, and ask that the committee have the opportunity to have a recorded division, if and when there's no further discussion on this, in order to test the will of the committee in respect to your ruling.</p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"6886739\" data-originallang=\"en\">En toute d\u00e9f\u00e9rence, je conteste votre d\u00e9cision.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6886740\" data-originallang=\"en\">Il faut comprendre que le projet de loi pr\u00e9voit des prestations d'un certain type en cas de pand\u00e9mie, si insuffisantes soient-elles, et que l'amendement propos\u00e9 vise \u00e9galement \u00e0 faire en sorte que ces prestations futures, si elles sont vers\u00e9es \u00e0 des a\u00een\u00e9s dans une situation semblable \u2014 dans le cas de la Prestation canadienne pour les travailleurs en cas de confinement, par exemple \u2014, ne soient pas prises en compte dans le calcul de leurs prestations de Suppl\u00e9ment de revenu garanti l'an prochain.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6886741\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Le projet de loi, comme, du reste, toute la d\u00e9marche suivie depuis le d\u00e9but, porte sur les prestations \u00e0 consentir en cas de pand\u00e9mie. L'amendement propos\u00e9, bien qu'il porte sur des mesures ant\u00e9rieures relatives \u00e0 la pand\u00e9mie... Je cherche simplement \u00e0 d\u00e9fendre l'int\u00e9grit\u00e9 du projet de loi, qui comporte un th\u00e8me g\u00e9n\u00e9ral tr\u00e8s important, celui des moyens d'amorcer la relance. L'amendement s'applique \u00e9galement aux prestations \u00e9num\u00e9r\u00e9es dans le projet de loi. Il n'est pas tout \u00e0 fait juste de dire qu'il d\u00e9passe la port\u00e9e du projet de loi ou qu'il n'aborde pas l\u00e9gitimement les questions qui y sont d\u00e9j\u00e0 soulev\u00e9es. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6886742\" data-originallang=\"en\">Voil\u00e0 pourquoi je conteste votre d\u00e9cision, monsieur le pr\u00e9sident, et je demande que le Comit\u00e9 ait la possibilit\u00e9 de tenir un vote par appel nominal, s'il n'y a pas d'autres interventions \u00e0 ce sujet, afin qu'il exprime sa volont\u00e9 \u00e0 l'\u00e9gard de votre d\u00e9cision.</p>"
