        "en": "<p data-HoCid=\"34301\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, a few minutes ago, during question period, the hon. member for Scarborough Centre, during a question in which he was actually making a statement regarding the repatriation of fallen Canadian soldiers at CFB in Trenton, told the House that I had informed the Prime Minister that the policy of the government was wrong.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"34302\" data-originallang=\"en\">That is an absolutely false statement. I have said no such thing.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"34303\" data-originallang=\"en\"> I have obviously, as many members have, received a great volume of response from constituents on this issue. I would certainly invite anyone who is interested, and certainly the member for Scarborough Centre, to go to www.garth.ca to read a very nice selection of messages from constituents.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"34304\" data-originallang=\"en\">I may voice a dissenting or contrary opinion from time to time from that of some of my colleagues but in no way does it mean that I believe this government is wrong in this policy, because I do not. In fact, I would make a point in saying that the ability of the Conservative Party to embrace dissenting views is one that makes this party inherently strong.</p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"34301\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, il y a quelques minutes, pendant la p\u00e9riode des questions, le d\u00e9put\u00e9 de Scarborough-Centre, dans le cadre d'une question qui \u00e9tait en fait une d\u00e9claration \u00e0 propos du rapatriement, \u00e0 la BFC Trenton, des soldats canadiens morts au combat, a dit \u00e0 la Chambre que j'avais indiqu\u00e9 au premier ministre que je m'opposais \u00e0 la politique du gouvernement.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"34302\" data-originallang=\"en\">Cette affirmation est tout \u00e0 fait fausse. Je n'ai jamais dit une telle chose.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"34303\" data-originallang=\"en\">Comme nombreux de mes coll\u00e8gues, j'ai re\u00e7u beaucoup de commentaires de mes \u00e9lecteurs \u00e0 ce sujet. J'invite ceux qui le souhaitent, y compris le d\u00e9put\u00e9 de Scarborough-Centre, \u00e0 aller voir ma page web \u00e0 www.garth.ca pour y lire un bel \u00e9chantillon de messages que m'ont envoy\u00e9s mes \u00e9lecteurs.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"34304\" data-originallang=\"en\">Il arrive, de temps en temps, que j'exprime une opinion contraire \u00e0 celles de certains de mes coll\u00e8gues, mais cela ne veut pas dire pour autant que je m'oppose \u00e0 la politique de mon gouvernement, parce que ce n'est pas vrai. D'ailleurs, je dirais m\u00eame que la capacit\u00e9 du Parti conservateur \u00e0 accepter des opinions dissidentes contribue beaucoup \u00e0 sa force. </p>"
