"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"1846876\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Mr. Speaker, after recognizing the Quebec nation, this government is calling for representation by population to diminish the political weight of Quebec. At the time of the Act of Union, it was not a good idea because it favoured Quebec, whose population was greater than that of Ontario. Today, it is being considered because it is not to Quebec's advantage. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1846877\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Can this government explain why it always finds good reasons for weakening the political weight of Quebec and going against the unanimous will of the National Assembly?</p>",

Cette r\u00e8gle n'\u00e9tait pas bonne \u00e0 l'\u00e9poque de l'Acte d'Union, car elle favorisait le Qu\u00e9bec, plus populeux que l'Ontario. Aujourd'hui, on l'applique car elle nuit au Qu\u00e9bec. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1846877\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Ce gouvernement peut-il nous expliquer pourquoi on trouve toujours de bonnes raisons pour affaiblir le poids politique du Qu\u00e9bec contre la volont\u00e9 unanime de l'Assembl\u00e9e nationale?</p>"
