"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"3405134\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for her question and for all her work in this area. She works very hard to bring the voice of youth to Parliament. I think that is very helpful. This is something my motion would also try to do: connect with younger people and update our institutions to better engage folks who are not engaging with our traditional forms of democracy. That is one advantage of moving to electronic petitions. I do not see why anybody on the other side of the House would be threatened by that.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3405135\" data-originallang=\"en\"> There would be no votes after debate. It would just be an hour debate. If we went forward with the full spectrum of changes in the House, it would just be an hour of debate on issues that are important to members on both sides of the House, I would hope.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"3405134\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, je remercie ma coll\u00e8gue de sa question et de tout le travail qu'elle a fait dans ce domaine. Elle ne m\u00e9nage jamais ses efforts pour faire entendre la voix des jeunes au Parlement. C'est tr\u00e8s utile. C'est justement ce que ma motion essaye aussi de faire: faire participer les jeunes, moderniser nos institutions pour mobiliser davantage les jeunes qui ne sont plus gu\u00e8re int\u00e9ress\u00e9s par les formes de d\u00e9mocratie traditionnelles. C'est l'un des avantages des p\u00e9titions \u00e9lectroniques. Je ne comprends pas pourquoi les d\u00e9put\u00e9s de la majorit\u00e9 se sentent menac\u00e9s par \u00e7a.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3405135\" data-originallang=\"en\">Il n'y aurait pas de vote apr\u00e8s le d\u00e9bat. Ce serait simplement une heure de d\u00e9bat. Si nous acceptons la totalit\u00e9 des changements, il n'y aurait qu'une heure de d\u00e9bat sur des questions qui sont importantes pour les d\u00e9put\u00e9s des deux c\u00f4t\u00e9s de la Chambre, tout au moins je l\u2019esp\u00e8re.</p>"
