        "en": "<p data-HoCid=\"2673743\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madam Speaker, I congratulate my colleague across the way on being newly appointed to our finance committee. I look forward to many future studies and discussions with him on the financial status of our country.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2673744\" data-originallang=\"en\">With regard to the bill, I acknowledge, as my colleague mentioned, that this will affect hundreds of thousands of Canadians. In fact, it will affect all Canadians. Financial systems affect not only the people who are working, but those who are benefiting from other forms of income. For example, it benefits our children. Therefore, it is very important that we continue to evaluate and ensure we get this right for all Canadians.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2673745\" data-originallang=\"en\">With regard to the Senate, we have some wonderful senators who work very hard to help move these kinds of very important legislation forward. The legislation has to go through both Houses before a decision can finally be implemented. We have a number of agenda items that affect the financial system and Canadians, including the pooled registered pension plan that we introduced recently and a number of other bills that are coming forward.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2673746\" data-originallang=\"en\">Since we have such a charged agenda, it is important that we also move Bill <a data-HoCid=\"5266523\" href=\"/bills/41-1/S-5/\" title=\"An Act to amend the law governing financial institutions and to provide for related and consequential matters\">S-5</a> because of the sunset date. In our opinion, it is prudent to ensure we get this through as quickly as possible and use the expertise and the senators in a way that would help us do that.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2673747\" data-originallang=\"en\">I assure the member that the senators took great care in looking at the bill, as we will in the House. We have had a number of reviews already and I look forward to that member voting in favour to pass the bill in a timely manner.</p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"2673743\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madame la Pr\u00e9sidente, je f\u00e9licite mon coll\u00e8gue d'en face pour sa nomination r\u00e9cente \u00e0 titre de membre du Comit\u00e9 des finances. Je serai heureuse de prendre part avec lui \u00e0 de nombreuses \u00e9tudes et discussions futures sur la situation financi\u00e8re de notre pays.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2673744\" data-originallang=\"en\">En ce qui concerne le projet de loi, je sais qu'il touchera des centaines de milliers de Canadiens, comme l'a dit mon coll\u00e8gue. En fait, il touchera tous les Canadiens. Les syst\u00e8mes financiers touchent non seulement les gens qui travaillent, mais \u00e9galement ceux qui ont d'autres formes de revenu. Par exemple, nos enfants sont concern\u00e9s aussi. Par cons\u00e9quent, il est tr\u00e8s important que nous poursuivions notre \u00e9valuation et que nous adoptions les bonnes mesures pour les Canadiens.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2673745\" data-originallang=\"en\">En ce qui concerne le S\u00e9nat, nous avons de merveilleux s\u00e9nateurs qui travaillent tr\u00e8s fort pour faire adopter des projets de loi tr\u00e8s importants, comme celui-ci. Le projet de loi doit \u00eatre adopt\u00e9 par les deux Chambres avant que la d\u00e9cision puisse \u00eatre appliqu\u00e9e. Nous avons mis au programme l'\u00e9tude d'un certain nombre de mesures qui touchent le syst\u00e8me financier et les Canadiens, notamment le cadre sur les r\u00e9gimes de pension agr\u00e9\u00e9s collectifs que nous avons pr\u00e9sent\u00e9 r\u00e9cemment. D'autres projets de loi seront \u00e9galement \u00e9tudi\u00e9s dans cette veine prochainement.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2673746\" data-originallang=\"en\">Compte tenu de notre programme tr\u00e8s charg\u00e9 et de la disposition de caducit\u00e9, il est important que nous proc\u00e9dions \u00e0 l'\u00e9tude du projet de loi <a data-HoCid=\"5266523\" href=\"/bills/41-1/S-5/\" title=\"An Act to amend the law governing financial institutions and to provide for related and consequential matters\">S-5</a>. Selon nous, il serait prudent que cette \u00e9tude se fasse aussi rapidement que possible et que, dans cette optique, nous mettions \u00e0 contribution l'expertise disponible et les s\u00e9nateurs.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2673747\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je peux assurer au d\u00e9put\u00e9 que les s\u00e9nateurs ont \u00e9tudi\u00e9 le projet de loi minutieusement, comme nous le ferons aux Communes. Nous avons d\u00e9j\u00e0 r\u00e9alis\u00e9 des examens de la question, et j'esp\u00e8re que le d\u00e9put\u00e9 votera pour l'adoption du projet de loi dans les meilleurs d\u00e9lais.</p>"
