"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"1000515\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Mr. Speaker, this week the government had another opportunity to demonstrate its support for the Quebec nation but it refused to endorse the Bloc Qu\u00e9b\u00e9cois motion on French as the language of work in Quebec.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1000516\" data-originallang=\"fr\"> The Bloc Qu\u00e9b\u00e9cois regularly extends its hand to allow this government to make recognition of the Quebec nation more than an empty gesture. The Conservative government rejects it all, every time, and comes back with increasingly preposterous suggestions. Their latest is a big one: to link recognition of the Quebec nation to achieving a majority in the coming election. Not long ago, the adoption of a rescue plan for the manufacturing and forestry sectors was tied to approval of the budget. This atmosphere of d\u00e9j\u00e0 vu leaves a bad taste.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1000517\" data-originallang=\"fr\"> The Bloc Qu\u00e9b\u00e9cois remains open to any action that will lead to making the Quebec nation a reality but it should not be subject to shameless blackmail.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"1000515\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, cette semaine, ce gouvernement avait une occasion de plus de d\u00e9montrer son appui \u00e0 la nation qu\u00e9b\u00e9coise, mais il a refus\u00e9 d'appuyer la motion du Bloc qu\u00e9b\u00e9cois sur le fran\u00e7ais comme langue de travail au Qu\u00e9bec.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1000516\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Le Bloc qu\u00e9b\u00e9cois tend r\u00e9guli\u00e8rement la main \u00e0 ce gouvernement pour que la reconnaissance de la nation qu\u00e9b\u00e9coise soit plus qu'un voeu pieux. Chaque fois, le gouvernement conservateur rejette le tout pour revenir \u00e0 des propositions de plus en plus abracadabrantes. La derni\u00e8re est de taille, soit de vouloir relier la reconnaissance de la nation qu\u00e9b\u00e9coise \u00e0 l'obtention d'une majorit\u00e9 \u00e0 l'issue d'une prochaine \u00e9lection. Il n'y a pas si longtemps, l'adoption d'un plan d'aide aux secteurs manufacturier et forestier \u00e9tait li\u00e9e \u00e0 l'adoption du budget. C'est un air de d\u00e9j\u00e0 vu de tr\u00e8s mauvais go\u00fbt.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1000517\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Le Bloc qu\u00e9b\u00e9cois reste ouvert \u00e0 tout geste qui m\u00e8nera \u00e0 la concr\u00e9tisation de la nation qu\u00e9b\u00e9coise, mais cela ne doit pas faire l'objet d'un chantage \u00e9hont\u00e9.</p>"
