"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"2376791\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Mr. Speaker, I am honoured to present a petition signed by over 1,200 people in my riding alone, calling on all parliamentarians to amend Bill <a data-HoCid=\"4567265\" href=\"/bills/40-3/C-32/\" title=\"An Act to amend the Copyright Act\">C-32</a> on copyright, to restore balance. In its current form, the bill inordinately benefits big business, to the detriment of our artists. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2376792\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Some artists came to Ottawa in their tour buses. At the time, members of the opposition parties, including the Liberal Party, said they would support the artists' demands. Unfortunately, the leader of the Liberal Party has since withdrawn his support. He changed his mind. I hope this petition will convince him to go back to his original stand.</p>",

Malheureusement, entretemps, le chef du Parti lib\u00e9ral a retir\u00e9 son appui; il a chang\u00e9 d'id\u00e9e. J'esp\u00e8re que cette p\u00e9tition saura le convaincre de revenir \u00e0 ce qu'il s'\u00e9tait engag\u00e9.</p>"
