"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"2511623\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madam Speaker, we in the Liberal Party are very disappointed in the way the government is manipulating the prairie wheat farmer. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2511624\" data-originallang=\"en\">The other day the government said that this was all about freedom. If we talk to the tens of thousands of prairie grain and wheat farmers, this is not about freedom. What the government is doing is crippling many opportunities for the farmers of small and large operations alike. Those farmers want this bill to be thoroughly debated. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2511625\" data-originallang=\"en\">The government is completely disregarding what a vast majority of the prairie wheat farmers wanted and said so in a plebiscite. Over 60% said that they want to retain the Wheat Board, but the <a data-HoCid=\"78738\" href=\"/politicians/stephen-harper/\" title=\"Stephen Harper\">Prime Minister</a> has said that does not matter and the government is getting rid of it. Now the Prime Minister is allowing only a couple days of debate. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2511626\" data-originallang=\"en\">I ask the <a data-HoCid=\"111560\" href=\"/politicians/gerry-ritz/\" title=\"Gerry Ritz\">Minister of Agriculture </a>, why does the government not respect the majority of prairie grain farmers who said they want to retain the Canadian Wheat Board?</p>",

Or, si nous parlons aux dizaines de milliers de producteurs de grain et de bl\u00e9 des Prairies, on apprend qu\u2019il n\u2019en est rien. En r\u00e9alit\u00e9, le gouvernement prive les agriculteurs d\u2019un grand nombre de possibilit\u00e9s, quelle que soit la taille de leur exploitation agricole. Ces agriculteurs veulent un d\u00e9bat approfondi sur ce projet de loi.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2511625\" data-originallang=\"en\">Le gouvernement fait compl\u00e8tement fi de ce qu\u2019une vaste majorit\u00e9 de producteurs de bl\u00e9 des Prairies ont dit vouloir lors d\u2019un pl\u00e9biscite. Plus de 60 p. 100 ont dit qu\u2019ils voulaient le maintien de la Commission canadienne du bl\u00e9, mais le <a data-HoCid=\"78738\" href=\"/politicians/stephen-harper/\" title=\"Stephen Harper\">premier ministre</a> a dit que cela n\u2019avait aucune importance et a d\u00e9cid\u00e9 de s\u2019en d\u00e9barrasser. Et voil\u00e0 maintenant que le premier ministre limite le d\u00e9bat \u00e0 quelques jours.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2511626\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je demande au <a data-HoCid=\"111560\" href=\"/politicians/gerry-ritz/\" title=\"Gerry Ritz\">ministre de l'Agriculture</a> pourquoi le gouvernement ne respecte pas la majorit\u00e9 des producteurs de grain des Prairies qui ont dit vouloir qu\u2019on garde la Commission canadienne du bl\u00e9?</p>"
