"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"1847225\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, I want to thank the member for a very good speech on Bill <a data-HoCid=\"4371983\" href=\"/bills/40-3/C-9/\" title=\"An Act to implement certain provisions of the budget tabled in Parliament on March 4, 2010 and other measures\">C-9</a>. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1847226\" data-originallang=\"en\">I want to ask the member about the type of thinking that the government must be engaging in that causes a government in a minority situation to introduce an 800-page bill.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1847227\" data-originallang=\"en\">I have been in this business for 24 years and I do not think I have ever seen a bill of this size introduced. On top of that, the government has put in measures that have absolutely nothing to do with what we are talking about here.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1847228\" data-originallang=\"en\">For example, the bill deals with postal remailing, which was variously presented in Parliament under bills C-14 and C-44 and probably one or two others in past years.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1847229\" data-originallang=\"en\">My question for the member is this. Why would a government that seems to be intent on not causing an election be putting in items like this that are only designed to cause people to want to vote against it? What would be the reasoning behind that?</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"1847225\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, je remercie le d\u00e9put\u00e9 d'avoir fait un excellent discours sur le projet de loi <a data-HoCid=\"4371983\" href=\"/bills/40-3/C-9/\" title=\"An Act to implement certain provisions of the budget tabled in Parliament on March 4, 2010 and other measures\">C-9</a>.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1847226\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je voudrais demander au d\u00e9put\u00e9 ce qui motive un gouvernement minoritaire \u00e0 pr\u00e9senter un projet de loi de 800 pages.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1847227\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je fais de la politique depuis 24 ans et je ne pense pas avoir jamais vu de projet de loi de cette taille. Par ailleurs, le gouvernement y a gliss\u00e9 des mesures qui n'ont rien \u00e0 voir avec ce dont nous d\u00e9battons ici.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1847228\" data-originallang=\"en\">Par exemple, le projet de loi porte sur le repostage, enjeu qui a \u00e9t\u00e9 abord\u00e9 \u00e0 diverses reprises dans les projets de loi C-14 et C-44 et probablement un ou deux autres au cours des derni\u00e8res ann\u00e9es.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1847229\" data-originallang=\"en\">Voici ce que j'aimerais demander au d\u00e9put\u00e9. Pourquoi un gouvernement qui semble d\u00e9termin\u00e9 \u00e0 \u00e9viter de provoquer des \u00e9lections ajouterait-il de telles mesures qui ne servent qu'\u00e0 pousser les gens \u00e0 vouloir voter contre son projet de loi? Qu'est-ce qui motive le gouvernement \u00e0 agir de la sorte?</p>"
