        "en": "<p data-HoCid=\"3833929\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, I think any government is obliged to give responses to the questions at hand. If it is a question on the foreign affairs policy of our government, then yes, the <a data-HoCid=\"170677\" href=\"/politicians/john-baird/\" title=\"John Baird\">Minister of Foreign Affairs</a> should respond accordingly. We saw a prime example of that today, but why were there 12 questions on the same issue?</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3833930\" data-originallang=\"en\"> I also want to point out that in the earlier part of the member's intervention, I think he was trying to make a point regarding government backbenchers bringing forward private members' bills on justice issues, but the issue we are dealing with here is a change to the Standing Orders, so I would ask the member opposite to please stay on topic.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3833931\" data-originallang=\"en\">We need a fundamental review of the entire operation of question period. That is what we will try to do. Frankly, in very short order, I will be speaking with members opposite, many of whom I have a great deal of respect for, to see if we perhaps can set up an all-party committee to deal with an overall review, to see if we can come to some agreement. What happens in this place affects all of us, and the rules we have to follow should be agreed to by all of us.</p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"3833929\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, je crois que tout gouvernement a l'obligation de r\u00e9pondre aux questions qui lui sont pos\u00e9es. Si une question porte sur les politiques du gouvernement en mati\u00e8re d'affaires \u00e9trang\u00e8res, le <a data-HoCid=\"170677\" href=\"/politicians/john-baird/\" title=\"John Baird\">ministre des Affaires \u00e9trang\u00e8res</a> devrait effectivement y r\u00e9pondre. Nous en avons vu un exemple parfait aujourd'hui, mais pourquoi y a-t-il eu 12 questions sur le m\u00eame sujet?</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3833930\" data-originallang=\"en\">J'aimerais \u00e9galement souligner que, au d\u00e9but de son intervention, il semble que le d\u00e9put\u00e9 ait essay\u00e9 de faire valoir un point de vue concernant les d\u00e9put\u00e9s minist\u00e9riels d'arri\u00e8re-ban qui pr\u00e9sentent des projet de loi d'initiative parlementaire en mati\u00e8re de justice. Cependant, comme il est question de modifier le R\u00e8glement, je prierais le d\u00e9put\u00e9 d'en face de s'en tenir au sujet en question.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3833931\" data-originallang=\"en\">Nous devons examiner en profondeur tout le processus de la p\u00e9riode des questions. C'est ce que nous tenterons de faire. D'ailleurs, je vais tr\u00e8s bient\u00f4t m'entretenir avec des d\u00e9put\u00e9s d'en face, dont un bon nombre pour qui j'ai beaucoup d'estime, afin de d\u00e9terminer si nous pourrions mettre sur pied un comit\u00e9 multipartite pour mener un examen global, de mani\u00e8re \u00e0 ce que nous parvenions \u00e0 une entente. Ce qui se passe \u00e0 la Chambre nous concerne tous, et les r\u00e8gles que nous devons suivre devraient avoir l'appui de chacun d'entre nous.</p>"
