Sometimes it is not discourse; it is shouting. Sometimes it is not Parliament; it is an attack in one direction followed by an attack back. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3833877\" data-originallang=\"en\">We need to return to a system where we are asking clear and simple questions in the hope that we will get clear and simple answers from the government, and we need a Speaker to be able to help us get there.</p>",

Parfois, ce n'est m\u00eame pas de la discussion, c'est simplement du chahut. Parfois, ce n'est pas le Parlement, ce ne sont que des attaques de part et d'autre de la Chambre.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3833877\" data-originallang=\"en\">Nous devons recommencer \u00e0 poser des questions simples et claires afin d'obtenir en retour des r\u00e9ponses simples et claires de la part du gouvernement, et il nous faut un Pr\u00e9sident qui puisse nous aider \u00e0 y arriver.</p>"
