"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"3598584\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Mr. Speaker, I found the speech given by my colleague across the aisle interesting. However, it felt more like a speech on Bill <a data-HoCid=\"6398775\" href=\"/bills/41-2/C-23/\" title=\"An Act to amend the Canada Elections Act and other Acts and to make consequential amendments to certain Acts\">C-23</a> itself, rather than on the question that is before the House and on which the Conservatives will be asked to vote very shortly.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3598585\" data-originallang=\"fr\">The Speaker of the House had to rule on some very specific points. In order to justify Bill <a data-HoCid=\"6398775\" href=\"/bills/41-2/C-23/\" title=\"An Act to amend the Canada Elections Act and other Acts and to make consequential amendments to certain Acts\">C-23</a>, the member for <a data-HoCid=\"170412\" href=\"/politicians/brad-butt/\" title=\"Brad Butt\">Mississauga\u2014Streetsville</a> said on two separate occasions that he personally saw an offence being committed. The Speaker of the House stated:</p>\n<blockquote><p data-HoCid=\"3598586\" data-originallang=\"en\">...one, it must be proven that the statement was misleading; two, it must be established that the member making the statement knew at the time that the statement was incorrect; and three, that, in making the statement the member intended to mislead the House. </p>\n</blockquote><p data-HoCid=\"3598587\" data-originallang=\"en\">It was deemed prima facie that the three elements were proven.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3598588\" data-originallang=\"en\">Therefore, what does the hon. member think about what his colleague did? Does it fit those three criteria, or one out of three or two out of three? We heard everything he said, but it is all about Bill <a data-HoCid=\"6398775\" href=\"/bills/41-2/C-23/\" title=\"An Act to amend the Canada Elections Act and other Acts and to make consequential amendments to certain Acts\">C-23</a> and never about the subject of the debate today.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"3598584\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, j'ai trouv\u00e9 le discours de mon coll\u00e8gue d'en face assez int\u00e9ressant. Toutefois, j'avais l'impression que c'\u00e9tait davantage un discours sur le projet de loi <a data-HoCid=\"6398775\" href=\"/bills/41-2/C-23/\" title=\"An Act to amend the Canada Elections Act and other Acts and to make consequential amendments to certain Acts\">C-23</a> lui-m\u00eame, plut\u00f4t que sur la question qui est devant la Chambre et sur laquelle les conservateurs sont appel\u00e9s \u00e0 voter dans tr\u00e8s peu de temps.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3598585\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Le Pr\u00e9sident de la Chambre a eu \u00e0 se prononcer sur des \u00e9l\u00e9ments bien pr\u00e9cis. Le d\u00e9put\u00e9 de <a data-HoCid=\"170412\" href=\"/politicians/brad-butt/\" title=\"Brad Butt\">Mississauga\u2014Streetsville</a> a dit \u00e0 deux reprises avoir vu une infraction se commettre sous ses yeux pour justifier la raison d'\u00eatre de <a data-HoCid=\"6398775\" href=\"/bills/41-2/C-23/\" title=\"An Act to amend the Canada Elections Act and other Acts and to make consequential amendments to certain Acts\">C-23</a>. Le Pr\u00e9sident de la Chambre a d\u00e9clar\u00e9 que:</p>\n<blockquote><p data-HoCid=\"3598586\" data-originallang=\"en\">[\u2026] premi\u00e8rement, la d\u00e9claration \u00e9tait trompeuse; deuxi\u00e8mement, l\u2019auteur de la d\u00e9claration savait, au moment de faire la d\u00e9claration, que celle-ci \u00e9tait inexacte; troisi\u00e8mement, le d\u00e9put\u00e9 avait l\u2019intention d\u2019induire la Chambre en erreur. </p>\n</blockquote><p data-HoCid=\"3598587\" data-originallang=\"en\">Au motif que ces trois conditions \u00e9taient remplies, il a conclu qu\u2019il y avait, de prime abord, atteinte au privil\u00e8ge.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3598588\" data-originallang=\"en\">Par cons\u00e9quent, que pense le d\u00e9put\u00e9 de ce que son coll\u00e8gue a fait? Est-ce que les trois conditions ont \u00e9t\u00e9 remplies, ou une sur trois, ou deux sur trois? Nous avons entendu tout ce qu'il avait \u00e0 dire, mais il n'a \u00e9t\u00e9 question que du projet de loi <a data-HoCid=\"6398775\" href=\"/bills/41-2/C-23/\" title=\"An Act to amend the Canada Elections Act and other Acts and to make consequential amendments to certain Acts\">C-23</a>, et jamais du sujet du d\u00e9bat d'aujourd'hui.</p>"
