"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"3181429\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, to pick up on that very point, we do recognize that this is a positive bill in principle and that there will be a great deal of benefit from passing it. We recognize that it is not perfect and that some amendments could be brought forward, but it is important that we move forward and pass the bill.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3181430\" data-originallang=\"en\">Does the member believe that the principle of the bill, even if it passes without amendment, is worthy of support? That said, we would be discouraged if the government did not respond to any sensible suggestions, whether an NDP or Liberal amendment. Maybe some things could have been done at committee to strengthen the bill.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3181431\" data-originallang=\"en\">The bill will pass with our support of it in principle, but it could have been a better bill had the government been more sensitive to the need for changes.</p>",

Nous admettons qu'il n'est pas parfait, et qu'on pourrait proposer quelques amendements, mais il est important que nous allions de l'avant et que nous adoptions le projet de loi.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3181430\" data-originallang=\"en\">Le d\u00e9put\u00e9 croit-il que, m\u00eame sans amendement, le projet de loi vaut la peine d'\u00eatre appuy\u00e9? Cela \u00e9tant dit, nous trouverions dommage que le gouvernement ne donne pas suite \u00e0 des propositions raisonnables, que les amendements viennent du NPD ou du Parti lib\u00e9ral. Peut-\u00eatre que nous aurions pu trouver des fa\u00e7ons de renforcer le projet de loi au comit\u00e9.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3181431\" data-originallang=\"en\">Le projet de loi sera adopt\u00e9, et nous l'appuierons, en principe, mais il aurait pu \u00eatre am\u00e9lior\u00e9 si le gouvernement avait \u00e9t\u00e9 plus ouvert aux changements n\u00e9cessaires.</p>"
