"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"2176561\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, as always, my question is addressed through you to the government House leader. In anticipation of the remaining business for this week, today and tomorrow, and going into next week, what is the government's business? Particularly, could he enlighten the House and Canadians on how we intend to continue to proceed with take note debates in the House? I know we had one just last week. There are others anticipated to come forward, for Canadians who may want to follow some of these important debates, which are usually held in the evenings.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2176562\" data-originallang=\"en\">Can he also indicate when the next allotted opposition day, for whatever party, is coming? </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2176563\" data-originallang=\"en\">If I might, Mr. Speaker, ask for your indulgence for 30 seconds, I would ask the government House leader to address again the remarks made earlier today in an S.O. 31 by one of his caucus colleagues. There have been a repeated series of S.O. 31s this week addressing comments made by the <a data-HoCid=\"129313\" href=\"/politicians/michael-ignatieff/\" title=\"Michael Ignatieff\">leader of the official opposition</a>, which were corrected yesterday in the <em>Winnipeg Free Press</em>. They quote a headline on Monday and an editorial on Tuesday that wrongly describe the Liberal leader's remarks as accusing the Conservatives of attempting to split the Filipino vote in the Winnipeg North byelection. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2176564\" data-originallang=\"en\">I think in the interest of us being accurate and fair in some of these circumstances it would be important for the government House leader to address that.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2176565\" data-originallang=\"en\">These are dangerous and divisive, racially undertoned remarks. They do not really do much for Canada. They certainly do not help any of us in this Winnipeg byelection situation. I think it would be incumbent upon the government to take some action in this regard.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"2176561\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, comme toujours, j'adresse ma question par votre interm\u00e9diaire au leader du gouvernement \u00e0 la Chambre. Quels sont les travaux pr\u00e9vus par le gouvernement pour le reste de cette semaine, soit aujourd'hui et demain, et la semaine prochaine? Plus particuli\u00e8rement, pourrait-il informer la Chambre et les Canadiens de ce qui se passera en ce qui concerne les d\u00e9bats exploratoires \u00e0 la Chambre? Je sais que nous en avons tenu un \u00e0 peine la semaine derni\u00e8re. Nous pr\u00e9voyons qu'on en proposera d'autres, et il serait bon d'informer les Canadiens qui souhaitent suivre ces d\u00e9bats importants qui, en g\u00e9n\u00e9ral, sont tenus le soir.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2176562\" data-originallang=\"en\">Pourrait-il aussi indiquer la date du prochain jour d\u00e9sign\u00e9, quel que soit le parti concern\u00e9?</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2176563\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, si je puis me le permettre, je demanderais votre indulgence pendant 30 secondes. Je demanderais au leader du gouvernement \u00e0 la Chambre de dire ce qu'il pense de la d\u00e9claration en vertu de l'article 31 du R\u00e8glement qu'une des coll\u00e8gues de son caucus a faite plus t\u00f4t aujourd'hui. Cette semaine, on a fait beaucoup de d\u00e9clarations concernant les propos du <a data-HoCid=\"129313\" href=\"/politicians/michael-ignatieff/\" title=\"Michael Ignatieff\">chef de l'opposition officiel</a>, qui ont par ailleurs \u00e9t\u00e9 rectifi\u00e9s dans l'\u00e9dition d'hier du <em>Winnipeg Free Press</em>. Les d\u00e9put\u00e9s qui font ces d\u00e9clarations citent un titre d'article de lundi et un \u00e9ditorial de mardi, dans lesquels on a faussement dit que le chef du Parti lib\u00e9ral avait accus\u00e9 les conservateurs de tenter de fractionner le vote des Philippins dans l'\u00e9lection partielle dans Winnipeg-Nord.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2176564\" data-originallang=\"en\">Dans un souci d'exactitude et d'\u00e9quit\u00e9, il serait important que le leader du gouvernement \u00e0 la Chambre r\u00e8gle cette question.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2176565\" data-originallang=\"en\">Il s'agit de remarques dangereuses aux sous-entendus racistes, qui divisent les gens. Elles n'aident en rien le Canada et n'aident personne dans le contexte de l'\u00e9lection partielle \u00e0 Winnipeg. Je pense qu'il incombe au gouvernement d'agir dans ce dossier.</p>"
