"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"8214393\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Thank you for the comments. I think we'll just address a couple of them.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8214394\" data-originallang=\"en\">Yes, we did agree with the original amendments, the changes to the original motion, but at any given moment we, as a committee, can revisit any type of amendment or motion that's on the floor to make improvements.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8214395\" data-originallang=\"en\">My suggestion was to make an improvement, and I'll tell you why.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8214396\" data-originallang=\"en\"> I agree with the criticism that was applied to Air Canada. I agree with the criticism, there's no question, and there's a lot of criticism that's out there.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8214397\" data-originallang=\"en\">MP Roberts said that there was good progress provincially. I'm sure there's also good progress federally across the country.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8214398\" data-originallang=\"en\">What we're doing is we're taking one incident on which we've taken a witness on this Air Canada issue and we're applying it towards the entire progress of the legislation.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8214399\" data-originallang=\"en\">My suggestion is to keep an open mind. Let's bring in witnesses. You can put in the actual legislation that we have concerns about what happened with Air Canada, or name anyone else, but to take the entire legislation and all of the initiatives that have taken place over the last few years and to put them into one category as expressing concern, I think, is not fair when you're studying the actual progress. It doesn't make sense. It's a contradiction.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8214400\" data-originallang=\"en\">I'm not going to die on this hill, but I think if we're going to be fair, if we're going to have an open mind, we bring in witnesses, listen, and then we make a determination at the end. You cannot predetermine a study on the progress and then go ahead and study the progress. It doesn't make sense.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8214401\" data-originallang=\"en\">Express concerns for what we've heard, not for the entirety of the legislation and the initiatives as a whole.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8214402\" data-originallang=\"en\">Thank you.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"8214393\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je vous remercie de vos commentaires. J'aimerais revenir sur certains d'entre eux. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8214394\" data-originallang=\"en\">Oui, nous avons approuv\u00e9 les premi\u00e8res modifications apport\u00e9es \u00e0 la motion initiale, mais notre comit\u00e9 a le droit de r\u00e9examiner n'importe quel type d'amendement ou de motion sur la table pour y apporter des am\u00e9liorations, et ce \u00e0 tout moment. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8214395\" data-originallang=\"en\">J'ai propos\u00e9 une am\u00e9lioration, et je vais vous expliquer pourquoi. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8214396\" data-originallang=\"en\">J'approuve les critiques formul\u00e9es \u00e0 l'encontre d'Air Canada. Je ne les remets pas du tout en doute, et il y en a d'ailleurs beaucoup qui circulent. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8214397\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mme Roberts a d\u00e9clar\u00e9 que les provinces avaient r\u00e9alis\u00e9 des progr\u00e8s importants. Je suis certain qu'il y en a \u00e9galement eu \u00e0 l'\u00e9chelle f\u00e9d\u00e9rale un peu partout au pays. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8214398\" data-originallang=\"en\">Sauf que l\u00e0, nous sommes en train de prendre un incident et un t\u00e9moin isol\u00e9s sur la question d'Air Canada et de l'appliquer \u00e0 l'ensemble du processus du projet de loi. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8214399\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je propose que nous gardions l'esprit ouvert. Faisons venir des t\u00e9moins. Nous pourrions inscrire dans le projet de loi que nous sommes pr\u00e9occup\u00e9s par ce qui s'est pass\u00e9 avec Air Canada, ou nommer d'autres entit\u00e9s, mais je ne crois pas qu'il soit juste de mettre l'ensemble du projet de loi et des initiatives des derni\u00e8res ann\u00e9es dans une seule cat\u00e9gorie afin d'exprimer notre inqui\u00e9tude. Nous \u00e9tudions les progr\u00e8s r\u00e9els. C'est insens\u00e9, contradictoire, m\u00eame. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8214400\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je ne vais pas m'ent\u00eater outre mesure, mais je pense que si nous voulons \u00eatre justes et avoir l'esprit ouvert, nous devrions attendre d'avoir entendu les t\u00e9moins avant de prendre une d\u00e9cision \u00e0 la fin. On ne peut pas pr\u00e9d\u00e9terminer la nature d'une \u00e9tude sur les progr\u00e8s et ensuite les \u00e9tudier. C'est insens\u00e9. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8214401\" data-originallang=\"en\">Nous devrions exprimer notre inqui\u00e9tude quant \u00e0 ce que nous aurons entendu, et non pour l'ensemble du projet de loi et des initiatives. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8214402\" data-originallang=\"en\">Merci. </p>"
