I do not know how many times the <a data-HoCid=\"194846\" href=\"/politicians/mark-strahl/\" title=\"Mark Strahl\">Parliamentary Secretary</a> has risen since we started this debate, but he just rose again to ask how much that will cost.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4139870\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Yes, we do have to ask these types of questions. One of the questions that I have wanted the government to answer since I arrived here is how much it spends every year to fight the rights of aboriginal peoples in the courts. I think it spends more than $300 million a year to challenge the fundamental rights of this country's aboriginal peoples.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4139871\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Is that the basis for discussion on this issue or should we consider the current needs of the first nations across the country? It is important that this motion include eligibility criteria so we can try to debate how we can better help them. I would like my colleague from <a data-HoCid=\"170184\" href=\"/politicians/charlie-angus/\" title=\"Charlie Angus\">Timmins\u2014James Bay</a> to comment on that.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"4139869\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, je suis parfois absolument abasourdi par la fa\u00e7on dont on traite ce genre de questions pourtant si fondamentales et importantes. Je ne sais pas combien de fois il s'est lev\u00e9 depuis que nous avons commenc\u00e9 ce d\u00e9bat, mais le <a data-HoCid=\"194846\" href=\"/politicians/mark-strahl/\" title=\"Mark Strahl\">secr\u00e9taire parlementaire </a> vient de se lever \u00e0 nouveau pour demander combien cela va co\u00fbter.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4139870\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Il est vrai qu'il faut se poser ce genre de questions. Une des questions \u00e0 laquelle j'attends une r\u00e9ponse de la part de ce gouvernement depuis que je suis arriv\u00e9 ici, c'est combien il d\u00e9pense chaque ann\u00e9e pour se battre contre les droits des peuples autochtones devant les tribunaux. Je pense qu'il d\u00e9pense plus de 300 millions de dollars par ann\u00e9e \u00e0 se battre contre les droits fondamentaux des premiers peuples de ce pays. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4139871\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Est-ce sur cette base que nous devons discuter de cela ou sur la base des besoins que les premiers peuples de ce pays ont actuellement partout au pays? Il est important d'inclure des crit\u00e8res d'admissibilit\u00e9 dans cette motion pour essayer de d\u00e9battre de la fa\u00e7on dont nous pouvons les aider davantage. J'aimerais que mon coll\u00e8gue de <a data-HoCid=\"170184\" href=\"/politicians/charlie-angus/\" title=\"Charlie Angus\">Timmins\u2014Baie James</a> commente cela.</p>"
