"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"3298019\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, our role and our obligation as members of Parliament in the House is to seize every available opportunity to try to make a positive contribution, which is precisely what we are doing today.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3298020\" data-originallang=\"en\">It is simply too important to be, in my view, tangled up in procedural wrangling. This is an appeal to the Government of Canada, and particularly the <a data-HoCid=\"105826\" href=\"/politicians/rob-nicholson/\" title=\"Rob Nicholson\">Minister of Justice and Attorney General of Canada</a>, who as I alluded to earlier I believe is in breach of his own code of ethics, his own responsibilities as a member of the bar.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3298021\" data-originallang=\"en\"> We are saying that we can get this better on behalf of the men and women in the Canadian Forces. We owe it to them.</p>",

Je lance un appel au gouvernement du Canada et, plus particuli\u00e8rement, au <a data-HoCid=\"105826\" href=\"/politicians/rob-nicholson/\" title=\"Rob Nicholson\">ministre de la Justice et procureur g\u00e9n\u00e9ral du Canada</a>, qui, \u00e0 mon avis, comme je l'ai dit tout \u00e0 l'heure, ne respecte pas son propre code d'\u00e9thique et les responsabilit\u00e9s qui lui incombent \u00e0 titre de membre du Barreau.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3298021\" data-originallang=\"en\">Ce que nous disons, c'est qu'il serait possible d'am\u00e9liorer le projet de loi au nom des militaires des Forces canadiennes.
