        "en": "<p data-HoCid=\"6908\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, no one ever takes cancer lightly. That is just not done and I did not do that in my speech. I spoke about the misdirection of this particular motion in somehow addressing that fact.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6909\" data-originallang=\"en\">The member speaks about why we do not get out there, lead the charge, and beat the municipalities into submission and force them to make these changes. That is not how it is done. He might be a rookie in this place, but he is old enough to know better than that.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6910\" data-originallang=\"en\">The municipalities are a creature of the provincial governments. There are provincial governments that have made these changes. I happen to have a copy of the program that Ontario has taken a look at. Good for it. It will make the changes that are needed for its people. I am not going to dictate from on high what changes it should make. It knows the instances that are required in its own jurisdictions, and the member should know that. If New Brunswick has a good proposal, it will talk about it at the interprovincial meetings.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6911\" data-originallang=\"en\">The Prime Minister has met with every premier across this country, some on more than one occasion. Those members stand in this place and pontificate about how we are snubbing this one or that one. The premiers themselves say the next day in a press release that they had a great meeting with the Prime Minister. Just because those members were not invited does not mean that the meetings did not happen. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6912\" data-originallang=\"en\">We all know what is going on here. The Liberals are trying to claw their way back to some semblance of authority in this country. They have about 10 years in the penalty box coming up for them and they will not be getting that authority back.</p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"6908\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, personne ne prend le cancer \u00e0 la l\u00e9g\u00e8re. Personne ne fait cela et je ne l'ai pas fait dans mon intervention. J'ai dit que ce n'\u00e9tait pas le type de motion qu'il fallait pour r\u00e9gler ce probl\u00e8me.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6909\" data-originallang=\"en\">Le d\u00e9put\u00e9 demande pourquoi nous ne prendrions pas les devants en trouvant un moyen de mater les municipalit\u00e9s et de les forcer \u00e0 faire ces changements. Ce n'est pas la fa\u00e7on de faire. Le d\u00e9put\u00e9 est peut-\u00eatre nouveau \u00e0 la Chambre, mais il est assez vieux pour le savoir.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6910\" data-originallang=\"en\">Les municipalit\u00e9s sont des cr\u00e9ations des gouvernements provinciaux. Il y a des gouvernements provinciaux qui ont fait ces modifications. J'ai un exemplaire du programme que l'Ontario a envisag\u00e9. C'est tr\u00e8s bien. La province fera les changements dont les habitants ont besoin. Je ne vais pas aller lui dire quels changements elle devrait faire. Elle sait quelles instances sont responsables sur son territoire, et le d\u00e9put\u00e9 devrait le savoir. Si le Nouveau-Brunswick a un bon projet \u00e0 cet \u00e9gard, il en parlera aux prochaines r\u00e9unions interprovinciales.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6911\" data-originallang=\"en\">Le premier ministre a rencontr\u00e9 tous ses homologues provinciaux, et plus d'une fois pour certains d'entre eux. Ces d\u00e9put\u00e9s prennent la parole ici pour nous dire combien nous n\u00e9gligeons celui-ci ou celui-l\u00e0. Les premiers ministres des provinces sont les premiers \u00e0 dire, le lendemain, dans un communiqu\u00e9 de presse, qu'ils ont eu un entretien tr\u00e8s int\u00e9ressant avec le premier ministre du Canada. Ces d\u00e9put\u00e9s ne sont pas invit\u00e9s, mais cela ne veut pas dire que les rencontres n'ont pas lieu.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6912\" data-originallang=\"en\">Nous savons tous ce qui se passe ici. Les lib\u00e9raux essaient de remonter la pente vers le pouvoir, mais ils vont rester au banc des punitions pendant une dizaine d'ann\u00e9es et ne reprendront pas les r\u00eanes du pouvoir.</p>"
