"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"2305675\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, I am rising on a point of order arising from a statement made by the member for <a data-HoCid=\"145911\" href=\"/politicians/scott-armstrong/\" title=\"Scott Armstrong\">Cumberland\u2014Colchester\u2014Musquodoboit Valley</a>. The member made allegations that clearly violated my rights and privileges as a member. The statement was almost incomprehensible. However, what was understandable was, first, factually wrong and, second, a violation of the Speaker's own rule against using members' statements to attack other members.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2305676\" data-originallang=\"en\">The member said that I \u201ctried to remove all references to victims from crime legislation\u201d.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2305677\" data-originallang=\"en\">That is 100% completely false. I defy him to come up with a single piece of evidence where that has ever happened. On the contrary, I have stood up and fought for the rights of victims in every piece of legislation in this House. Besides being untrue, it is absolutely cowardly for that member to raise allegations in a member's statement to which I have no right of reply.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2305678\" data-originallang=\"en\"> I would ask the member to do the honourable thing and retract his untrue allegation and apologize to this House for misleading this House and the Canadian people.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"2305675\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, j\u2019invoque le R\u00e8glement au sujet d\u2019une d\u00e9claration faite par le d\u00e9put\u00e9 de <a data-HoCid=\"145911\" href=\"/politicians/scott-armstrong/\" title=\"Scott Armstrong\">Cumberland\u2014Colchester\u2014Musquodoboit Valley</a>. Le d\u00e9put\u00e9 a fait des all\u00e9gations qui, de toute \u00e9vidence, portent atteinte \u00e0 mes droits et privil\u00e8ges de d\u00e9put\u00e9. Sa d\u00e9claration \u00e9tait presque incompr\u00e9hensible. Toutefois, ce qu\u2019il \u00e9tait possible de comprendre \u00e9tait tout d\u2019abord faux et constituait, en second lieu, une violation de la r\u00e8gle du Pr\u00e9sident interdisant de se servir des d\u00e9clarations de d\u00e9put\u00e9s pour s\u2019en prendre \u00e0 des coll\u00e8gues.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2305676\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Le d\u00e9put\u00e9 a affirm\u00e9 que j\u2019avais essay\u00e9 de retirer toute mention des victimes dans les projets de loi de r\u00e9pression du crime.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2305677\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Cela est absolument faux. Je le mets au d\u00e9fi de pr\u00e9senter la moindre preuve \u00e9tablissant que je l\u2019ai jamais fait. Bien au contraire, je me suis battu pour les victimes et j\u2019ai d\u00e9fendu leurs droits lors de l\u2019\u00e9tude de chaque projet de loi pr\u00e9sent\u00e9 \u00e0 la Chambre. \u00c0 part le fait que c\u2019est faux, je trouve que c\u2019est de la l\u00e2chet\u00e9 de la part du d\u00e9put\u00e9 de lancer des all\u00e9gations dans une d\u00e9claration \u00e0 laquelle je n\u2019ai pas le droit de r\u00e9pondre.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2305678\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Je demande au d\u00e9put\u00e9 d\u2019agir honorablement en retirant sa fausse all\u00e9gation et en pr\u00e9sentant des excuses pour avoir tromp\u00e9 la Chambre et les Canadiens.</p>"
