"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"2979497\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, I have the honour to present a petition signed by women and men from across Canada who are opposed to Conservative Motion No. 312, a thinly veiled attempt to reopen the abortion debate in Canada, a debate that Canadians had decades ago and Canadians are ready to move on. Women and men in Canada look forward to moving forward and not backward and this is a very regressive motion. Finally, Canadians are looking forward to achieving true gender equality in Canada.</p>",

C'est un d\u00e9bat que les Canadiens ont tenu il y a des dizaines ann\u00e9es, et ils ont envie de passer \u00e0 autre chose. Les femmes et les hommes du Canada aspirent au progr\u00e8s, et non \u00e0 la r\u00e9gression. Or, cette motion nous propose un tr\u00e8s net recul. Enfin, les Canadiens esp\u00e8rent que l'\u00e9galit\u00e9 des sexes finira par \u00eatre une r\u00e9alit\u00e9 concr\u00e8te au Canada.</p>"
