"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"959541\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, the hon. member mentioned the word \u201crotation\u201d quite frequently when he speaks. Other speakers in the House have talked about the importance of standing behind the people to whom we have made a commitment, the families, the women, the children and the people of the Kandahar region.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"959542\" data-originallang=\"en\">When talking about rotation, one is implicitly saying that at some point there was an agreement that we would leave and somebody else would come in so they would not be abandoned. Because the member has not spoken about it, perhaps he could provide some details as to what the agreement was on rotation when the former government committed us to Kandahar in the first place. I have never seen any document and I doubt the <a data-HoCid=\"114001\" href=\"/politicians/laurie-hawn/\" title=\"Laurie Hawn\">Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of National Defence</a> has ever seen one.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"959543\" data-originallang=\"en\">He talked about the undue burden that we have carried. If the former government were going to commit them to this burden, where is the document that talks about rotation?</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"959541\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, le d\u00e9put\u00e9 a parl\u00e9 de \u00ab rotation \u00bb \u00e0 plusieurs reprises. D'autres intervenants ont parl\u00e9 de l'importance d'appuyer les personnes envers lesquelles nous avons un engagement: les familles, les femmes et les enfants et la population dans la r\u00e9gion de Kandahar. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"959542\" data-originallang=\"en\">Quand on parle de rotation, on dit simplement qu'il y avait un accord implicite selon lequel nous devions passer le flambeau \u00e0 un autre pays de mani\u00e8re \u00e0 ce que ces personnes ne soient pas livr\u00e9es \u00e0 elles-m\u00eames. Le d\u00e9put\u00e9 ne l'a pas dit, mais j'aimerais qu'il fournisse des d\u00e9tails sur l'entente intervenue au chapitre de la rotation lorsque le pr\u00e9c\u00e9dent gouvernement a engag\u00e9 le Canada dans une mission \u00e0 Kandahar. Je n'ai jamais vu de document \u00e0 ce sujet et je doute que le <a data-HoCid=\"114001\" href=\"/politicians/laurie-hawn/\" title=\"Laurie Hawn\">secr\u00e9taire parlementaire du ministre de la D\u00e9fense nationale</a> en ait vu un.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"959543\" data-originallang=\"en\">Le d\u00e9put\u00e9 a parl\u00e9 du fardeau indu que nous portons. Si le gouvernement pr\u00e9c\u00e9dent s'est engag\u00e9 \u00e0 faire porter ce fardeau aux militaires, o\u00f9 est le document \u00e9non\u00e7ant les termes de la rotation?</p>"
