"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"3405127\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for his kind words. That is a good question. This is exactly what the committee should be looking at. This is why we need the committee to look at the current petitioning system to see how these two things could interact.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3405128\" data-originallang=\"en\">What I would say is that if they can do this in the United Kingdom, if they can do this in the province of Quebec and they can do this in the U.S., what is it we cannot do here? What is it we cannot figure out? I am sure we can find a way to make both paper-based and electronic petitions interact, and of course, bring us into the 21st century and bring more trust to our institutions. </p>",

C'est exactement ce que le comit\u00e9 devrait examiner. C'est pour cela qu'il faut qu'il puisse revoir notre syst\u00e8me de pr\u00e9sentation de p\u00e9titions afin de d\u00e9terminer comment ces deux types de p\u00e9titions peuvent coexister.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3405128\" data-originallang=\"en\">Tout ce que je peux dire, c'est que si \u00e7a se fait au Royaume-Uni, si \u00e7a se fait dans la province du Qu\u00e9bec et si \u00e7a se fait aux \u00c9tats-Unis, pourquoi ne le faisons-nous pas ici? Qu'est-ce qui nous en emp\u00eache? Je suis s\u00fbr que nous pouvons trouver un moyen de faire coexister les p\u00e9titions sur papier et les p\u00e9titions \u00e9lectroniques, et, ce faisant, de moderniser nos proc\u00e9dures et d'inspirer une plus grande confiance \u00e0 l'\u00e9gard de nos institutions. </p>"
