"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"3400924\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, I always regret that the <a data-HoCid=\"170693\" href=\"/politicians/peter-van-loan/\" title=\"Peter Van Loan\">government House leader</a> comes in and tells us that we are going to have time allocation and then leaves whatever minister is responsible for the bill to account for the fact that we have, yet again, a consistent approach of limiting time for debate on bills. As far as I can see, it is the decision not of the hon. minister who is here to answer questions but of the government House leader who is not.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3400925\" data-originallang=\"en\">I would once again bemoan the fact that with time allocation having been brought 44 times into this Parliament, we are breaking all historical records. One of the inevitable results of time allocation is that members of Parliament who are not in recognized parties, such as me, as leader of the Green Party, will not have an opportunity to participate in the debate on Bill <a data-HoCid=\"5307346\" href=\"/bills/41-1/S-6/\" title=\"An Act respecting the election and term of office of chiefs and councillors of certain First Nations and the composition of council of those First Nations\">S-6</a> other than through questions and comments.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3400926\" data-originallang=\"en\">I ask the hon. minister if he would please prevail upon his colleagues in the Privy Council of this particular <a data-HoCid=\"78738\" href=\"/politicians/stephen-harper/\" title=\"Stephen Harper\">Prime Minister</a> to change this anti-democratic trend, which is really going to be the legacy of this particular administration as the most repressive in the history of Canada.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"3400924\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, je trouve toujours regrettable que le <a data-HoCid=\"170693\" href=\"/politicians/peter-van-loan/\" title=\"Peter Van Loan\">leader du gouvernement \u00e0 la Chambre des communes</a> nous informe qu'une attribution de temps nous sera impos\u00e9e et laisse ensuite le ministre responsable du projet de loi expliquer que le gouvernement d\u00e9cide, une fois de plus, de limiter le d\u00e9bat sur le projet de loi. \u00c0 ma connaissance, ce n'est pas le ministre qui est ici pour r\u00e9pondre aux questions qui a pris cette d\u00e9cision, mais plut\u00f4t le leader du gouvernement \u00e0 la Chambre des communes qui est absent.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3400925\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je d\u00e9plore, encore une fois, le fait que le gouvernement ait impos\u00e9 \u00e0 44 reprises l'attribution de temps au Parlement. C'est un record. L'une des cons\u00e9quences in\u00e9vitables de l'attribution de temps, c'est que les d\u00e9put\u00e9s qui ne sont pas membres d'un parti reconnu \u2014 comme moi, en tant que chef du Parti vert \u2014 peuvent seulement participer au d\u00e9bat sur le projet de loi <a data-HoCid=\"5307346\" href=\"/bills/41-1/S-6/\" title=\"An Act respecting the election and term of office of chiefs and councillors of certain First Nations and the composition of council of those First Nations\">S-6</a> durant la p\u00e9riode r\u00e9serv\u00e9e aux questions et observations.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3400926\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je demande au ministre de bien vouloir persuader ses coll\u00e8gues du Conseil priv\u00e9 de l'actuel <a data-HoCid=\"78738\" href=\"/politicians/stephen-harper/\" title=\"Stephen Harper\">premier ministre</a> de modifier cette tendance antid\u00e9mocratique, car l'actuel gouvernement entrera dans l'histoire comme \u00e9tant le plus r\u00e9pressif qu'ait connu le Canada.</p>"
