"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"3551282\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, it is quite an interesting debate and, quite frankly, I find it sad when a member such as the member opposite who was just speaking accuses the government of trying to do away with Canada Post. It is complete fiction and it is really kind of insulting, not just to the government but to all the people across Canada who may be listening to that kind of nonsense.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3551283\" data-originallang=\"en\">I would like to know from the member whether or not he recognizes that a fundamental change has been occurring in mail delivery. In the first nine months of 2013, mail volumes declined by 184 million pieces, or 5.1%, compared to the same period last year. In fact, in 2006, Canada Post delivered 1 billion more pieces of mail than in 2012.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3551284\" data-originallang=\"en\">I would like to ask the member if he is in fact able to get his head out of the sand. Does he recognize that Canada Post plays a different role in people's daily life than it did 10 years ago?</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"3551282\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, le d\u00e9bat est tr\u00e8s int\u00e9ressant mais, bien franchement, je trouve triste qu\u2019un d\u00e9put\u00e9 accuse le gouvernement d\u2019essayer d\u2019\u00e9liminer Postes Canada, comme vient tout juste de le faire mon coll\u00e8gue d'en face. C\u2019est de la fiction pure, et c\u2019est r\u00e9ellement insultant, non seulement pour le gouvernement, mais pour tous les Canadiens qui entendent ce genre d\u2019absurdit\u00e9. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3551283\" data-originallang=\"en\"> J\u2019aimerais que le d\u00e9put\u00e9 nous dise s\u2019il reconna\u00eet que la livraison du courrier conna\u00eet un changement de fond. Au cours des neuf premiers mois de 2013, le volume du courrier a diminu\u00e9 de 184 millions de pi\u00e8ces, ou de 5,1 %, comparativement \u00e0 la m\u00eame p\u00e9riode l\u2019ann\u00e9e pr\u00e9c\u00e9dente. En fait, en 2006, Postes Canada a livr\u00e9 un milliard de pi\u00e8ces de courrier de plus qu\u2019en 2012. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3551284\" data-originallang=\"en\"> J\u2019aimerais demander au d\u00e9put\u00e9 s\u2019il est capable de regarder la r\u00e9alit\u00e9 en face. Reconna\u00eet-il que Postes Canada ne joue plus le m\u00eame r\u00f4le dans la vie des gens qu\u2019il y a dix ans? </p>"
