"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"3800577\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Mr. Speaker, I am astounded that anyone would make such comments. The member said that we are not a pacifist country. We all know that when soldiers go to war, they go to war. We know what that means.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3800578\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Fundamentally, the people of Canada, from coast to coast to coast, are pacifists who want peace. Of course we fight for democracy when we go to war. Our boys fought in the Second World War to uphold democracy and ensure that we would not have to pay a bloody price for our right to vote. It is insulting to hear such comments in the House.</p>",

Le d\u00e9put\u00e9 dit qu'on n'est pas un pays pacifique. On comprend tous que lorsque les soldats vont \u00e0 la guerre, ils vont \u00e0 la guerre. On sait ce que c'est. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3800578\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Fondamentalement, les citoyens et les citoyennes du Canada, <em>from coast to coast to coast</em>, sont des gens pacifiques qui veulent la paix, et oui, on d\u00e9fend la d\u00e9mocratie quand on va en guerre. C'\u00e9tait pour d\u00e9fendre la d\u00e9mocratie et s'assurer qu'on ne paie pas de notre sang pour voter que les gars sont all\u00e9s \u00e0 la Deuxi\u00e8me Guerre mondiale. C'est insultant d'entendre des commentaires comme cela \u00e0 la Chambre!</p>"
