"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"3982952\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, I have about as much luck of convincing my colleagues as I have of convincing the member on anything. We are all of our own making, and this is a very sensitive issue. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3982953\" data-originallang=\"en\">This is not a partisan issue, but it goes to the core of what it means to be Canadian. What we decide will affect all the Canadians who are alive today and every Canadian who will live in the future. Moreover, whatever Canada does, it will be a model for the rest of the developed world. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3982954\" data-originallang=\"en\">In short, I think we should look to what Quebec did. It took four and a half years. I thought Quebec did an excellent job, and it would be very wise to look at its process.</p>",

Nous r\u00e9colterons tous ce que nous avons sem\u00e9, et il s'agit d'une question tr\u00e8s sensible.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3982953\" data-originallang=\"en\">Ce n'est pas une question partisane, mais elle se trouve au coeur de notre identit\u00e9 canadienne. Ce que nous d\u00e9ciderons aura des cons\u00e9quences pour tous les Canadiens qui vivent aujourd'hui et tous ceux qui vivront demain. De plus, quel que soit le mod\u00e8le choisi par le Canada, il fera \u00e9cole dans le reste du monde d\u00e9velopp\u00e9.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3982954\" data-originallang=\"en\">Bref, je pense que nous devrions nous inspirer de ce qu'a fait le Qu\u00e9bec sur une p\u00e9riode de quatre ans et demi. Je pense que le Qu\u00e9bec a accompli un excellent travail et que nous ferions bien d'examiner sa d\u00e9marche.</p>"
