"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"3833497\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, what we do know is that when that party was in opposition, its members asked for a vote in the House every time we deployed troops. It is not just good enough when it is on their time and their dime; it is about when we send people abroad.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3833498\" data-originallang=\"en\">While we have been trying to get answers from the government on how many troops have been sent to Iraq, what they are doing, what their mandate is and what the assessment will be, we could have actually been saving lives. We could have been building refugee camps. We could have been supporting minorities who need our protection. We could have been doing that right now, instead of trying to figure out what the heck the government is doing over in Iraq with our troops.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3833499\" data-originallang=\"en\">Why are we not helping our people\u2014</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"3833497\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, nous savons que lorsque le parti d'en face formait l'opposition, ses d\u00e9put\u00e9s ont demand\u00e9 que la Chambre se prononce sur chaque d\u00e9ploiement militaire. Il ne faut pas que les conservateurs agissent seulement selon ce qui leur convient; ce qui compte, ce sont les gens que nous envoyons \u00e0 l'\u00e9tranger.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3833498\" data-originallang=\"en\">Pendant que nous essayons d'obtenir du gouvernement des renseignements sur le nombre de soldats qui ont \u00e9t\u00e9 envoy\u00e9s en Irak, sur ce qu'ils font, sur leur mandat et sur l'analyse qu'ils effectueront, nous pourrions sauver des vies. Nous pourrions \u00eatre en train de b\u00e2tir des camps de r\u00e9fugi\u00e9s. Nous pourrions \u00eatre en train de soutenir les minorit\u00e9s qui ont besoin de notre protection. Nous pourrions \u00eatre en train de faire cela en ce moment m\u00eame, au lieu d'essayer de comprendre ce que peut bien faire le gouvernement avec nos soldats en Irak.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3833499\" data-originallang=\"en\">Pourquoi n'aidons-nous pas nos gens...</p>"
