"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"3473300\" data-originallang=\"fr\">My colleague asks a very good question, Mr. Speaker. I very much look forward to her upcoming speech. She is very knowledgeable about these issues.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3473301\" data-originallang=\"fr\">To answer her question, I too am puzzled as to why the Conservatives prorogued the House only to bring forward the very same legislation, as if nothing had happened. One has to wonder why they prorogued in the first place, other than to get media exposure and distract people from the Senate scandal. I wonder what the real reason was for the prorogation. The first thing the Conservatives did when the House reconvened was to reintroduce all of their bills at the same stage they were at in the previous session. It was as if nothing had happened. I wonder what the real reason was for all this, other than to throw up a smokescreen and change the channel. In my view, that is the simplest and most obvious reason to have prorogued the House.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"3473300\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, ma coll\u00e8gue pose une tr\u00e8s bonne question. D'ailleurs, j'ai tr\u00e8s h\u00e2te d'entendre le discours qu'elle prononcera tout \u00e0 l'heure. Elle est une d\u00e9put\u00e9e tr\u00e8s au fait de ses dossiers.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3473301\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Je r\u00e9pondrai \u00e0 sa question en disant que j'ai aussi \u00e9t\u00e9 surpris de voir que les conservateurs ont d\u00e9cid\u00e9 de proroger la Chambre et de pr\u00e9senter ensuite les m\u00eames projets de loi, comme s'il ne s'\u00e9tait rien pass\u00e9. C'est \u00e0 se demander quelle \u00e9tait la raison de la prorogation, mis \u00e0 part celle de faire un coup m\u00e9diatique et de tenter d'attirer l'attention des gens sur autre chose que les scandales au S\u00e9nat. Je me demande quelle \u00e9tait la raison r\u00e9elle de la prorogation. La premi\u00e8re chose que les conservateurs ont fait en revenant \u00e0 la Chambre a \u00e9t\u00e9 de repr\u00e9senter tous les projets de loi, mais ces derniers \u00e9taient au m\u00eame stade qu'\u00e0 la fin de la derni\u00e8re session parlementaire. C'est comme s'il ne s'\u00e9tait rien pass\u00e9. Je me demande quelle \u00e9tait la raison r\u00e9elle derri\u00e8re tout \u00e7a, hormis un spectacle de fum\u00e9e et un coup de publicit\u00e9, pour changer de poste. \u00c0 mon avis, c'est la raison la plus simple et la plus \u00e9vidente de la prorogation.</p>"
