        "en": "<p data-HoCid=\"8214236\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Thank you, Mr. Chair. It's great to see you here.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8214237\" data-originallang=\"en\">On this motion, I think that with the amendment, with what we heard there\u2014and we looked back at what Mr. Fragiskatos said that day about doing a study and having three meetings\u2014that was sort of the general tone. We saw just this morning, just before the meeting started, what the actual wording is. We questioned Air Canada at that time, and I think MP Falk's intention was kind of broad, because it was very short and the committee expressed its concern about the progress made towards the goal of Canada being without barriers by 2040. When we add in this part about the study, the study is very specific and is about reviewing the government's progress, and that's what the amendment says.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8214238\" data-originallang=\"en\">Basically with the way it's reading now, it has what the intention is but then the study was to be a bit broader, concerning Air Canada and perhaps other airlines. This actually says to \u201creview the government's progress\u201d, so this is very specific about the government, which could be part of this surely. However, since we had Air Canada here, it was a little broader. I think this is getting very specific. Also, just the way it is, it says \u201cgovernment's progress\u201d. The wording makes it sound as though the government is progressing as opposed to it talking about what the status is.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8214239\" data-originallang=\"en\">I think a lot of what is in here doesn't reflect the intention based on where it came from and the original comments that day.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8214240\" data-originallang=\"en\">Also it has completely changed. Rather than just saying that we're doing a study, it says \u201ctable a comprehensive response to the report\u201d, whereas MP Falk's motion said that it should \u201creport its opinion to the House\u201d, so that completely changes what the intent of that was as well. It didn't keep that part in, so it's changing it quite substantially.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8214241\" data-originallang=\"en\">Thank you.</p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"8214236\" data-originallang=\"en\">Merci, monsieur le pr\u00e9sident. Je suis heureuse de vous voir parmi nous.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8214237\" data-originallang=\"en\">En ce qui concerne cette motion et l'amendement que nous venons d'entendre \u2014 et nous nous rappelons ce que M. Fragiskatos a dit l'autre jour au sujet de la tenue d'une \u00e9tude et de trois r\u00e9unions \u2014, c'est en quelque sorte le ton g\u00e9n\u00e9ral. Nous n'avons vu le libell\u00e9 exact de l'amendement que ce matin, juste avant le d\u00e9but de la r\u00e9union. Nous avons interrog\u00e9 des gens d'Air Canada l'autre jour, et je pense que l'intention de Mme Falk \u00e9tait assez g\u00e9n\u00e9rale, parce que la motion \u00e9tait tr\u00e8s courte et visait \u00e0 exprimer l'inqui\u00e9tude du Comit\u00e9 concernant les progr\u00e8s r\u00e9alis\u00e9s \u00e0 l'\u00e9gard de l'objectif visant \u00e0 faire du Canada un pays exempt d'obstacles d'ici 2040. Si on y ajoute cette partie au sujet de l'\u00e9tude, celle\u2011ci devient tr\u00e8s circonscrite et limit\u00e9e aux progr\u00e8s du gouvernement, selon ce que dicte l'amendement.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8214238\" data-originallang=\"en\">Essentiellement, l'intention est l\u00e0 dans le libell\u00e9 actuel, mais l'\u00e9tude devait ratisser un peu plus large et inclure Air Canada et peut-\u00eatre d'autres compagnies a\u00e9riennes. On propose ici d'\u00ab examiner les progr\u00e8s r\u00e9alis\u00e9s par le gouvernement \u00bb, on parle donc exclusivement des progr\u00e8s du gouvernement, ce qui pourrait \u00e9videmment faire partie de l'\u00e9tude, mais comme nous avons entendu des repr\u00e9sentants d'Air Canada, l'intention \u00e9tait un peu plus large. Je pense que l'amendement est trop circonscrit. De plus, dans la version actuelle, il est \u00e9crit \u00ab les progr\u00e8s r\u00e9alis\u00e9s par le gouvernement \u00bb, ce qui donne l'impression que le gouvernement progresse, alors qu'on devrait simplement parler de l'\u00e9tat de la situation en g\u00e9n\u00e9ral.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8214239\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je pense qu'une grande partie de ce qui se trouve ici ne refl\u00e8te pas l'intention d'origine et les commentaires formul\u00e9s ce jour\u2011l\u00e0.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8214240\" data-originallang=\"en\">De plus, la motion a compl\u00e8tement chang\u00e9. Plut\u00f4t que de simplement pr\u00e9voir une \u00e9tude, on demanderait au gouvernement de \u00ab d\u00e9poser une r\u00e9ponse globale au rapport \u00bb, tandis que Mme Falk demandait simplement que le Comit\u00e9 \u00ab fasse rapport de son opinion \u00e0 la Chambre \u00bb, ce qui change compl\u00e8tement l'intention. Cette partie n'a pas \u00e9t\u00e9 conserv\u00e9e, il s'agit donc d'une modification assez importante.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8214241\" data-originallang=\"en\">Merci.</p>"
