"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"3181752\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, the opposition has brought up a few points in terms of wanting to stop sexual harassment but it is not going to vote for a tool that would allow the commissioner to do just that. The opposition has selected a few key phrases that were critical to highlight in the testimony, but then did not articulate the remainder of the follow-up questions that came from our committee. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3181753\" data-originallang=\"en\">Each and every witness who testified before committee acknowledged clearly that the legislation was a good starting point. I will acknowledge that they did raise some concerns. However, it is written right here in the bill. The act is \u201cto establish the responsibilities of members;...to provide for the establishment of a Code of Conduct that emphasizes the importance of maintaining the public trust and reinforces the high standard of conduct expected of members\u201d. Each and every witness said the proof will come in the administration, the policy development and the regulatory development, not in prescriptive measures within the act. They are very supportive of the bill. They are looking forward to the administrative, operational, policy development and regulatory development. All of them are hopeful for that. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3181754\" data-originallang=\"en\">Why would the NDP vote against a positive framework that each and every witness supported?</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"3181752\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, les d\u00e9put\u00e9s de l'opposition ont affirm\u00e9 vouloir mettre fin au harc\u00e8lement sexuel, mais ils ne voteront pas en faveur d'un outil qui permettrait au commissaire de le faire. Ils ont s\u00e9lectionn\u00e9 certaines des phrases cl\u00e9s des t\u00e9moignages, mais n'ont pas ensuite mentionn\u00e9 les questions compl\u00e9mentaires des membres de notre comit\u00e9. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3181753\" data-originallang=\"en\">Tous les t\u00e9moins ayant comparu devant le comit\u00e9 ont reconnu clairement que le projet de loi \u00e9tait un bon point de d\u00e9part. Il est vrai qu'ils ont soulev\u00e9 quelques pr\u00e9occupations. Cependant, c'est \u00e9crit directement dans le projet de loi. Le projet de loi a pour objet \u00ab d\u2019\u00e9tablir les responsabilit\u00e9s des membres; et de pr\u00e9voir l\u2019\u00e9tablissement d\u2019un code de d\u00e9ontologie qui met l\u2019accent sur l\u2019importance de maintenir la confiance du public et renforce les normes de conduite \u00e9lev\u00e9es que les membres sont cens\u00e9s observer \u00bb. Tous les t\u00e9moins ont affirm\u00e9 que la solution se trouvera dans l'administration, dans l'\u00e9laboration des politiques et dans l'\u00e9laboration des r\u00e8glements, et non dans des mesures normatives pr\u00e9vues dans la loi. Ils sont tr\u00e8s favorables au projet de loi. Ils ont h\u00e2te de voir ce que pr\u00e9voiront les politiques administratives et op\u00e9rationnelles ainsi que le r\u00e8glement. Ils sont tous optimistes \u00e0 cet \u00e9gard.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3181754\" data-originallang=\"en\">Pourquoi le NPD voterait-il contre un cadre positif qui a re\u00e7u l'appui de tous les t\u00e9moins?</p>"
