"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"3565797\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, I listened with interest to a speech that had nothing to do with the content of the bill, but that is okay. It is the member's prerogative.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3565798\" data-originallang=\"en\">I have three very specific questions for my colleague.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3565799\" data-originallang=\"en\">First, does he think the voter ID cards should be an allowable form of identification by themselves, considering that Canada Post drops off bundles of voter ID cards in apartment buildings, for example, as came to light in our elections?</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3565800\" data-originallang=\"en\">Second, how many people does he think one person should be able to vouch for? There was massive evidence, speaking personally, of busloads being vouched for continually, until we stopped that practice.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3565801\" data-originallang=\"en\">Third, he talks about 100,000 people not being able to get to vote, most of those on first nations. Does he understand that a first nations status card is in fact one of the 39 forms of ID?</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"3565797\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, j'ai \u00e9cout\u00e9 attentivement un discours qui n'avait rien \u00e0 voir avec le contenu du projet, mais ce n'est pas grave. Le d\u00e9put\u00e9 a le droit d'agir ainsi.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3565798\" data-originallang=\"en\">J'aimerais poser trois questions tr\u00e8s pr\u00e9cises au d\u00e9put\u00e9.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3565799\" data-originallang=\"en\">Premi\u00e8rement, pense-t-il que les cartes d'information de l'\u00e9lecteur constituent une forme d'identification acceptable, alors que, par exemple, on sait que Postes Canada d\u00e9pose des paquets de cartes de ce genre dans les immeubles d'habitation?</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3565800\" data-originallang=\"en\">Deuxi\u00e8mement, pour combien de personnes croit-il qu'un \u00e9lecteur devrait pouvoir agir en tant que r\u00e9pondant? \u00c0 maintes reprises, j'ai vu des \u00e9lecteurs agir comme r\u00e9pondants pour des groupes de personnes qui auraient rempli des autocars. Heureusement, nous avons mis fin \u00e0 cette pratique.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3565801\" data-originallang=\"en\">Troisi\u00e8mement, il dit qu'environ 100 000 personnes ne pourraient pas aller voter et que la plupart d'entre elles sont membres des Premi\u00e8res Nations. Sait-il que, en fait, les cartes d'appartenance aux Premi\u00e8res Nations sont l'une des 39 pi\u00e8ces d'identit\u00e9 accept\u00e9es?</p>"
