        "en": "<p data-HoCid=\"3439076\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Mr. Speaker, we must remind Canadians that every time the Conservatives had the opportunity to do more than just talk about protecting the public by passing a bill, they voted against it. Not once but twice, we introduced a bill to protect air passengers and they voted against it. Over the weekend, they put the <a data-HoCid=\"194622\" href=\"/politicians/james-moore/\" title=\"James Moore\">Minister of Industry</a> on the air to say that this would be in the throne speech, yet there was not a word about it in the speech.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3439077\" data-originallang=\"fr\">We made the same suggestion as the government with respect to the $2 charge to get a paper copy of a bill. My colleague from <a data-HoCid=\"170117\" href=\"/politicians/glenn-thibeault/\" title=\"Glenn Thibeault\">Sudbury</a> shared that suggestion in writing with the Conservatives, who laughed in our faces. They made this suggestion in yesterday's speech, but it has no credibility. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3439078\" data-originallang=\"fr\">In conclusion, my colleague from <a data-HoCid=\"170644\" href=\"/politicians/robert-chisholm/\" title=\"Robert Chisholm\">Dartmouth\u2014Cole Harbour</a> introduced Bill <a data-HoCid=\"6254139\" href=\"/bills/41-2/C-540/\" title=\"An Act to amend the Criminal Code (non-consensual making or distributing of intimate images)\">C-540</a>, an act to amend the Criminal Code respecting the non-consensual making or distributing of intimate images. This was in response to the Rehtaeh Parsons tragedy. If the Conservatives are honest and sincere, they will pass this bill\u2014which is already drafted and ready to go\u2014right away. We will see whether or not that happens. If not, we will know that everything else is nothing but a farce, a fantasy, an illusion, and it all means nothing. This will be even more proof that the Conservatives and the Liberals are no different: they make empty promises to get elected and then do nothing for the public.</p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"3439076\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, il est important de rappeler aux Canadiens que chaque fois que les conservateurs ont eu l'occasion de faire autre chose que parler de la protection du public en adoptant un projet de loi, ils ont vot\u00e9 contre. On a pr\u00e9sent\u00e9 deux fois plut\u00f4t qu'une un projet de loi pour prot\u00e9ger les passagers a\u00e9riens et ils ont vot\u00e9 contre. En fin de semaine, ils ont envoy\u00e9 le <a data-HoCid=\"194622\" href=\"/politicians/james-moore/\" title=\"James Moore\">ministre de l\u2019Industrie</a> dire en ondes que cela serait dans le discours du Tr\u00f4ne. Or il n'y a m\u00eame pas eu un mot l\u00e0-dessus dans ce dernier.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3439077\" data-originallang=\"fr\">En ce qui concerne les frais de 2 $ pour avoir une version papier d'une facture, nous avions fait la m\u00eame proposition que le gouvernement. Mon coll\u00e8gue de <a data-HoCid=\"170117\" href=\"/politicians/glenn-thibeault/\" title=\"Glenn Thibeault\">Sudbury</a> l'avait transmise par \u00e9crit aux conservateurs, qui nous ont ri au nez. Ils ont propos\u00e9 cela dans le discours d'hier, mais cela n'a aucune cr\u00e9dibilit\u00e9. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3439078\" data-originallang=\"fr\">En terminant, mon coll\u00e8gue de <a data-HoCid=\"170644\" href=\"/politicians/robert-chisholm/\" title=\"Robert Chisholm\">Dartmouth\u2014Cole Harbour</a> propose le projet de loi <a data-HoCid=\"6254139\" href=\"/bills/41-2/C-540/\" title=\"An Act to amend the Criminal Code (non-consensual making or distributing of intimate images)\">C-540</a>, une loi modifiant le Code criminel concernant la production ou la distribution d\u2019images intimes sans consentement. Il fait suite \u00e0 la trag\u00e9die de Rehtaeh Parsons. Si les conservateurs sont honn\u00eates et sinc\u00e8res, ils vont adopter d\u00e8s aujourd'hui ce projet de loi, qui est pr\u00eat et d\u00e9j\u00e0 r\u00e9dig\u00e9, en deux temps, trois mouvements. On verra s'ils le font ou pas. S'ils ne le font pas, on saura que tout le reste est du chiqu\u00e9, que c'est factice, que ce ne sont que des chim\u00e8res et que cela ne veut rien dire. Ce sera encore la preuve que, conservateurs ou lib\u00e9raux, c'est la m\u00eame affaire: des promesses en l'air pour se faire \u00e9lire et rien pour le public par la suite. </p>"
