"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"4511693\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Mr. Speaker, although I usually give my speeches without any speaking notes, I do sometimes jot down a few points, so I am certainly open to my colleague's proposal.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4511694\" data-originallang=\"fr\">In his question, he spoke about the time allocated for question period. Members can go on YouTube and watch the first televised question period between Pierre Elliott Trudeau and Joe Clark. In those days, questions and answers lasted between a minute and a half and two minutes. Obviously, that is a lot more time. That is exactly the type of proposal that would be worth looking into .</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4511695\" data-originallang=\"fr\">We want to make question period as relevant as possible. That would help restore Canadians' confidence in the process. It would be good for opposition members, and I believe it would also be good for government members and backbenchers. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4511696\" data-originallang=\"fr\">It is a proposal that is worth looking into.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"4511693\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, bien que je barbouille parfois quelques notes \u2014 mes discours sont souvent faits sans que j'aie de notes \u2014 je suis certainement ouvert \u00e0 la proposition de mon coll\u00e8gue.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4511694\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Dans sa question, il parlait du temps allou\u00e9 \u00e0 la p\u00e9riode des questions. On n'a qu'\u00e0 aller sur YouTube pour visionner la premi\u00e8re p\u00e9riode des questions t\u00e9l\u00e9vis\u00e9es entre Pierre Elliott Trudeau et Joe Clark pour s'apercevoir que les questions et les r\u00e9ponses duraient entre une minute et demie et deux minutes. \u00c9videmment, c'est beaucoup plus substantiel. C'est exactement le genre de proposition qu'il serait int\u00e9ressant de retenir.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4511695\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Finalement, ce que nous voulons, c'est rendre la p\u00e9riode des questions la plus pertinente possible. Cela aiderait les Canadiens \u00e0 regagner confiance en le processus. Ce serait bon pour les d\u00e9put\u00e9s de l'opposition, et je crois que ce serait aussi bon pour les d\u00e9put\u00e9s du gouvernement et les d\u00e9put\u00e9s d'arri\u00e8re-ban.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4511696\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Cette proposition m\u00e9rite d'\u00eatre \u00e9tudi\u00e9e, bien entendu.</p>"
