        "en": "<p data-HoCid=\"3599597\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, in June of last year when the whole issue of proactive disclosure really came to the House, the leader of the Liberal Party at that time sought unanimous support of the House of Commons. We did not achieve it back then, but we continued to push it. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3599598\" data-originallang=\"en\">It is nice that we have the Conservatives somewhat onside, and I appreciate the fact that they are going to be supporting the motion. However, it is important to recognize that the whole issue of leadership on this issue has come from the leader of the Liberal Party of Canada. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3599599\" data-originallang=\"en\">We need to recognize that, at the end of the day, we want to see all members of all political entities in the House support the initiative of proactive disclosure. Maybe the member could point out from his perspective how important it is that all members of the House get behind the resolution that has been presented by my colleague.</p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"3599597\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, en juin l'an dernier, lorsque la Chambre a \u00e9t\u00e9 saisie de la question de la divulgation proactive, le chef du Parti lib\u00e9ral a demand\u00e9 l'appui unanime de la Chambre des communes. Nous ne l'avons pas obtenu alors, mais nous avons poursuivi nos efforts en vue de l'obtenir.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3599598\" data-originallang=\"en\">Il est bien que les conservateurs soient en quelque sorte en faveur, et je les remercie de leur intention d'appuyer la motion. Toutefois, il est important de reconna\u00eetre que c'est le chef du Parti lib\u00e9ral du Canada qui a fait preuve de leadership dans ce dossier.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3599599\" data-originallang=\"en\">Notre objectif ultime est de voir tous les d\u00e9put\u00e9s de toutes les all\u00e9geances appuyer l'initiative de divulgation proactive. Peut-\u00eatre mon coll\u00e8gue pourrait-il indiquer, de son point de vue, \u00e0 quel point il est important que tous les d\u00e9put\u00e9s de la Chambre appuient la r\u00e9solution qu'il a pr\u00e9sent\u00e9e.</p>"
