I feel like I have had a normal day in the House today, absent the silence of the other parties.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3473580\" data-originallang=\"en\">I would like to address the issue of public safety because this is the second question coming from the Liberal Party today. The first question touched on the member for <a data-HoCid=\"170158\" href=\"/politicians/wayne-easter/\" title=\"Wayne Easter\">Malpeque</a> saying that he could not understand how a train could have one engineer in it and the spill could occur. That deregulation actually happened under the Liberal government. The New Democrats are the only ones standing up for these issues. The member mentioned the passenger bill of rights. That was an NDP private member's bill from my colleague from <a data-HoCid=\"170249\" href=\"/politicians/jose-nunez-melo/\" title=\"Jos\u00e9 Nunez-Melo\">Laval</a>.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3473581\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Both parties have had chances to take our propositions into account and implement them. I know a Liberal government used many propositions in the past to bring in wonderful things like employment insurance, pensions, and public housing. The Liberals are great at listening to our ideas, and we hope they will listen to our ideas when we form a government in 2015.</p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"3473579\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, la journ\u00e9e ne se serait pas d\u00e9roul\u00e9e normalement si le d\u00e9put\u00e9 de <a data-HoCid=\"170750\" href=\"/politicians/kevin-lamoureux/\" title=\"Kevin Lamoureux\">Winnipeg-Nord</a> n'avait pas pris la parole ne serait-ce que pour poser une question. J'ai l'impression que la journ\u00e9e se d\u00e9roule normalement \u00e0 la Chambre aujourd'hui, m\u00eame si les autres partis demeurent silencieux.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3473580\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je vais parler de s\u00e9curit\u00e9 publique puisque c'est la deuxi\u00e8me question de la part du Parti lib\u00e9ral sur le sujet aujourd'hui. La premi\u00e8re question venait du d\u00e9put\u00e9 de <a data-HoCid=\"170158\" href=\"/politicians/wayne-easter/\" title=\"Wayne Easter\">Malpeque</a>, qui se demande comment un train a pu \u00eatre confi\u00e9 \u00e0 un seul conducteur et comment le d\u00e9versement a pu se produire. Or, la d\u00e9r\u00e9glementation a eu lieu sous le gouvernement lib\u00e9ral. Les n\u00e9o-d\u00e9mocrates sont les seuls \u00e0 prendre position sur ces questions. Par ailleurs, le d\u00e9put\u00e9 lib\u00e9ral a mentionn\u00e9 la d\u00e9claration des droits des passagers de l'air, qui, je le signale, est un projet de loi d'initiative parlementaire pr\u00e9sent\u00e9 par mon coll\u00e8gue n\u00e9o-d\u00e9mocrate de <a data-HoCid=\"170249\" href=\"/politicians/jose-nunez-melo/\" title=\"Jos\u00e9 Nunez-Melo\">Laval</a>. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3473581\" data-originallang=\"en\">Les deux partis ont eu l'occasion de prendre en consid\u00e9ration nos propositions et de les mettre en oeuvre. Des gouvernements lib\u00e9raux ont d\u00e9j\u00e0 tenu compte de bon nombre de nos suggestions lorsqu'ils ont r\u00e9alis\u00e9 de grandes choses. Je pense entre autres \u00e0 l'assurance-emploi, aux pensions et au logement social. Les lib\u00e9raux \u00e9coutent nos id\u00e9es, et nous esp\u00e9rons qu'ils continueront de le faire lorsque nous formerons le gouvernement en 2015.</p>"
