"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"3449451\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, not only is the bill humongous\u2014it is 300 pages with changes being made to 70 laws\u2014but on top of that, the government is trying to ram it through. It is not giving opportunity to every member in the House to speak about it. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3449452\" data-originallang=\"en\">One of the phrases I learned from the Conservatives is \u201ctime allocation\u201d. I want to explain that to Canadians. Basically, it is shutting down the debate. It is not giving the opportunity for every member in the House to speak to the bill. Not only that, but this bill will only go to one committee. That committee may not have the expertise for all of the 70-odd bills that are addressed in this omnibus bill. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3449453\" data-originallang=\"en\">If the government is going to bring forward legislation, it needs to make sure it addresses areas that are important, not a hodgepodge of different areas in one bill that it tries to ram through. Canadians expect more. </p>",

Il ne donne pas la possibilit\u00e9 \u00e0 tous les d\u00e9put\u00e9s de prendre la parole pour donner leur point de vue.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3449452\" data-originallang=\"en\">L'une des expressions que les conservateurs m'ont enseign\u00e9es est l'expression \u00ab attribution du temps \u00bb. Je voudrais l'expliquer aux Canadiens. Fondamentalement, cette expression signifie qu'on veut clore le d\u00e9bat et ne pas laisser tous les d\u00e9put\u00e9s s'exprimer au sujet du projet de loi. De plus, le projet de loi ne sera \u00e9tudi\u00e9 que par un seul comit\u00e9, qui ne poss\u00e9dera pas n\u00e9cessairement l'expertise n\u00e9cessaire pour se pencher sur les 70 textes de loi, environ, que le projet de loi omnibus vise \u00e0 modifier.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3449453\" data-originallang=\"en\">Le gouvernement doit veiller \u00e0 ce que chaque projet de loi qu'il pr\u00e9sente porte sur un domaine important plut\u00f4t que sur un salmigondis de questions sans lien les unes avec les autres, au sujet desquelles on essaie de faire adopter des dispositions \u00e0 la h\u00e2te. Les Canadiens s'attendent \u00e0 plus de la part de leur gouvernement.</p>"
