"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"665913\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Mr. Speaker, I congratulate the Conservative Party and the colleague who garnered 65% of the votes. However, they were lucky. It was a close call. We can only imagine how different the statistics would be had the Bloc fielded candidates in his province.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"665914\" data-originallang=\"fr\">In the past few elections, people from other provinces showed interest and asked what we were waiting for to get the Bloc going in their province. They have federalist representatives whom they support. I am obviously speaking of people from other provinces and not of myself. However, they would like something new, a bit of a change from the old parties that feed them all sorts of lines. The pendulum is definitely swinging between the Liberal Party and the Conservative Party.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"665915\" data-originallang=\"fr\">It is just incredible. The Conservatives obtained 65% of the vote but are still in the minority. What do they need to have a majority? Do they need 100% or close to that, as did Fidel Castro in Cuba?</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"665916\" data-originallang=\"fr\">I am seriously thinking about opening a Bloc Qu\u00e9b\u00e9cois franchise in their province.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"665913\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, je f\u00e9licite le Parti conservateur et le coll\u00e8gue qui ont r\u00e9ussi \u00e0 obtenir 65 p. 100 des votes. Toutefois, ils ont \u00e9t\u00e9 chanceux. Ils l'ont \u00e9chapp\u00e9 belle! En effet, s'il avait fallu que des gens du Bloc qu\u00e9b\u00e9cois se pr\u00e9sentent dans sa province, on imagine comme cela aurait pu changer profond\u00e9ment la donne. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"665914\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Depuis plusieurs \u00e9lections, des gens d'autres provinces se manifestent et nous demandent ce qu'on attend pour d\u00e9marrer le Bloc qu\u00e9b\u00e9cois dans leur province. Ils ont des repr\u00e9sentants provenant du f\u00e9d\u00e9ralisme, ce qu'ils partagent. Je parle \u00e9videmment des gens des autres provinces, et non de moi. Par contre, ils souhaiteraient un vent nouveau, quelque chose qui change un peu des vieux partis qui leur racontent toutes sortes de choses. C'est certain qu'il y a un balancier qui bouge entre le Parti lib\u00e9ral et le Parti conservateur. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"665915\" data-originallang=\"fr\">C'est incroyable! Les conservateurs ont obtenu 65 p. 100 des votes, et ils sont encore minoritaires. Combien leur faudra-t-il pour r\u00e9ussir \u00e0 \u00eatre majoritaires? Faudra-t-il, comme chez M. Fidel Castro \u00e0 Cuba, atteindre 100 p. 100 des voix ou a peu pr\u00e8s? </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"665916\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Je songe donc s\u00e9rieusement \u00e0 ouvrir une succursale du Bloc qu\u00e9b\u00e9cois dans leur province. </p>"
