"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"3182563\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, I am still mulling over in my head how the NDP can protect and agree to protect Canadian investors in China but be against the FIPA. I have given that some consideration, and that box simply does not square.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3182564\" data-originallang=\"en\">Here is the deal in a nutshell. Before coming to government in 2006, we did not table treaties in the House of Commons. There was no opportunity for debate.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3182565\" data-originallang=\"en\">The hon. member said that he did not want to debate it there. He wanted to debate it somewhere else. The opportunity was here in the House of Commons to put the FIPA on the table and discuss it ad nauseam in the time the opposition has allotted every week. For 31 sitting days, the answer was a resounding no from the NDP, who did not want to look at it.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"3182563\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, je n'ai toujours pas compris comment les n\u00e9o-d\u00e9mocrates peuvent \u00e0 la fois accepter de prot\u00e9ger les investisseurs canadiens en Chine et s'opposer \u00e0 l'Accord sur la promotion et la protection des investissements \u00e9trangers ou APIE. J'y ai r\u00e9fl\u00e9chi et cette position ne tient tout simplement pas la route. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3182564\" data-originallang=\"en\">En quelques mots, l'accord se r\u00e9sume \u00e0 ceci. Avant notre arriv\u00e9e au pouvoir en 2006, les trait\u00e9s n'\u00e9taient pas d\u00e9pos\u00e9s \u00e0 la Chambre de communes. Nous n'avions donc pas l'occasion d'en d\u00e9battre. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3182565\" data-originallang=\"en\">Le d\u00e9put\u00e9 a dit qu'il ne souhaitait pas d\u00e9battre de l'APIE ici. Il veut en d\u00e9battre ailleurs. La Chambre des communes a amplement eu l'occasion de d\u00e9battre de l'APIE durant la p\u00e9riode allou\u00e9e chaque semaine \u00e0 l'opposition. Pendant 31 jours de s\u00e9ance, les n\u00e9o-d\u00e9mocrates ont refus\u00e9 de discuter de l'accord; ils n'ont pas voulu y toucher. </p>"
