"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"1839045\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, as I indicated already, the Canada-Colombia labour cooperation agreement actually raises the bar for labour and human rights, while providing Canada with an opportunity to share its best practices in labour standards.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1839046\" data-originallang=\"en\">Our government is committed, as we indicated in the Speech from the Throne, to increasing economic development and labour rights to support Colombia in its efforts to improve the prosperity of its citizens. We have said before and will say again that engaging with foreign governments that have made significant gains in improving human rights is the most effective way to secure progress and development in these countries.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1839047\" data-originallang=\"en\">The question the member poses does not look at the bigger benefits that are available to the citizens of Colombia as well. We want to engage Colombia, and that is why this free trade agreement is so important. But more important is the fact that we are including within this free trade agreement a labour cooperation agreement that will allow us to share our best practices.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"1839045\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, comme je l'ai d\u00e9j\u00e0 mentionn\u00e9, l'Accord de coop\u00e9ration dans le domaine du travail entre le Canada et la Colombie place la barre plus haute en ce qui concerne les droits des travailleurs et les droits de la personne tout en donnant au Canada l'occasion de faire conna\u00eetre ses pratiques exemplaires en mati\u00e8re de travail. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1839046\" data-originallang=\"en\">Comme nous l'avons mentionn\u00e9 dans le discours du Tr\u00f4ne, le gouvernement est d\u00e9termin\u00e9 \u00e0 stimuler le d\u00e9veloppement \u00e9conomique de la Colombie et \u00e0 am\u00e9liorer la situation des droits des travailleurs afin de soutenir les efforts visant \u00e0 accro\u00eetre la prosp\u00e9rit\u00e9 des citoyens de ce pays. Nous continuons d'affirmer que la fa\u00e7on la plus efficace de garantir le progr\u00e8s et le d\u00e9veloppement des pays \u00e9trangers, c'est de traiter avec les gouvernements qui ont r\u00e9alis\u00e9 d'importants progr\u00e8s en mati\u00e8re de droits de la personne. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1839047\" data-originallang=\"en\">La question du d\u00e9put\u00e9 ne tient pas compte des grands avantages que retirent \u00e9galement les Colombiens. Nous voulons tendre la main \u00e0 la Colombie. Voil\u00e0 pourquoi cet accord de libre-\u00e9change est si important, mais surtout, nous int\u00e9grons dans cette entente un accord de coop\u00e9ration dans le domaine du travail qui nous permettra de faire conna\u00eetre nos pratiques exemplaires.</p>"
