Does that not speak volumes about the Conservatives? All day I have listened to these members dismiss this out of hand, when the very thing that should be sacred in the House is our word, what we say. What we say is not always great\u2014and I include myself in that\u2014but we are not supposed to lie or use unparliamentary language. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3598412\" data-originallang=\"fr\">The vote that will be held in about two hours will say a lot about our colleagues across the way, who think that it is acceptable to mislead the House and the public and to breach the privilege of parliamentarians in the House, a fact that the Speaker acknowledged. Does that not have an impact on all Conservative members?</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"3598410\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, j'ai beaucoup appr\u00e9ci\u00e9 le discours de mon coll\u00e8gue. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3598411\" data-originallang=\"fr\">On parle beaucoup de la cr\u00e9dibilit\u00e9 du d\u00e9put\u00e9 conservateur qui a \u00e9mis les commentaires qui, on le sait maintenant, n'\u00e9taient pas v\u00e9ridiques et qui, cela a \u00e9t\u00e9 reconnu, a atteint le privil\u00e8ge des d\u00e9put\u00e9s de prime abord. Cela n'en dit-il pas long sur les conservateurs? Toute la journ\u00e9e, j'ai entendu ces d\u00e9put\u00e9s rejeter cela du revers de la main, alors que ce qui devrait \u00eatre sacr\u00e9 \u00e0 la Chambre c'est notre parole, ce que nous disons. Ce que nous disons n'est pas toujours g\u00e9nial, et je m'inclus, mais nous ne sommes pas cens\u00e9s mentir ou tenir des propos non parlementaires. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3598412\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Le vote qui se tiendra dans environ deux heures en dira long sur nos coll\u00e8gues d'en face, qui pensent qu'induire la Chambre et les gens en erreur est acceptable, tout comme ce l'est de porter atteinte au privil\u00e8ge des parlementaires de la Chambre et que le Pr\u00e9sident le reconnaisse. Est-ce que cela ne se r\u00e9percute pas sur l'ensemble des d\u00e9put\u00e9s conservateurs?</p>"
