"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"2636909\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, I appreciate the comments. However, we have another bill before us with regard to increasing the number of members of Parliament. It would increase the number from 308 to 338. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2636910\" data-originallang=\"en\">The member made reference to canvassing what Canadians want and to the issue of saving money. I am sure she would agree that a vast majority of Canadians, I would suggest 90% or more, do not believe we need more members of Parliament and do not believe we need an additional 30 MPs. We can imagine the money that could be saved. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2636911\" data-originallang=\"en\">Does the member believe that the same principles in applying those issues with the current bill should also apply to the bill that would increase the number of politicians? It is a bill her party is supporting, along with the Conservatives. </p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"2636909\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, je comprends bien les derniers propos. Toutefois, nous sommes en train d'\u00e9tudier un autre projet de loi, qui pr\u00e9voit une augmentation du nombre de d\u00e9put\u00e9s. Ce nombre passerait de 308 \u00e0 338.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2636910\" data-originallang=\"en\">La d\u00e9put\u00e9e a parl\u00e9 de sonder les Canadiens pour savoir ce qu'ils veulent. Elle a parl\u00e9 aussi d'\u00e9conomiser de l'argent. Or, je suis certain qu'elle sera d'accord avec moi pour dire que la vaste majorit\u00e9 des Canadiens, c'est-\u00e0-dire 90 p. 100 ou plus, selon moi, sont d'avis qu'ils n'ont pas besoin qu'on augmente le nombre de d\u00e9put\u00e9s f\u00e9d\u00e9raux. Ajouter 30 d\u00e9put\u00e9s serait inutile \u00e0 leurs yeux. Il n'est pas difficile d'imaginer que des \u00e9conomies substantielles pourraient \u00eatre r\u00e9alis\u00e9es.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2636911\" data-originallang=\"en\">La d\u00e9put\u00e9e croit-elle que les principes qu'elle invoque au sujet du projet de loi actuel devraient \u00e9galement s'appliquer au projet de loi visant \u00e0 augmenter le nombre de politiciens? C'est un projet de loi que son parti appuie, de m\u00eame que les conservateurs.</p>"
