"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"4664938\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, I think it is important every so often to reinforce what we are actually debating here. This is a historic agreement. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4664939\" data-originallang=\"en\">For many years I sat on the opposition benches hoping that some day, Stephen Harper and the then Conservative government would do something with regard to the CPP. We finally have strong national leadership and have actually seen provinces of all political stripes, meaning NDP, Conservative, and Liberal, come to the table. We have an agreement with those provinces and territories. That is what we are debating today. It is about the future of pensions for today's workers. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4664940\" data-originallang=\"en\">Only the Conservatives have determined that this is a bad piece of legislation. Why does the Conservative Party believe that everyone else is wrong and that it is the Conservatives who are right? I would suggest that the Conservatives have lost touch with reality and with Canadians.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"4664938\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, je pense qu\u2019il est bon, de temps \u00e0 autre, de rappeler clairement ce dont il est question ici. Il s\u2019agit d\u2019un accord historique.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4664939\" data-originallang=\"en\">Pendant des ann\u00e9es, j\u2019ai si\u00e9g\u00e9 sur les bancs de l\u2019opposition en esp\u00e9rant qu\u2019un jour, Stephen Harper et le gouvernement conservateur de l\u2019\u00e9poque feraient quelque chose pour am\u00e9liorer le RPC. Nous avons enfin aujourd\u2019hui l\u2019illustration d\u2019un vrai leadership national, \u00e0 telle enseigne que des provinces repr\u00e9sentant diverses all\u00e9geances politiques, c\u2019est-\u00e0-dire n\u00e9o-d\u00e9mocrates, conservatrices et lib\u00e9rales, ont accept\u00e9 de se rencontrer pour n\u00e9gocier. Nous avons conclu un accord avec ces provinces et ces territoires. Ce dont il est question aujourd\u2019hui, c\u2019est de l\u2019avenir des pensions pour les travailleurs d\u2019aujourd\u2019hui.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4664940\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Les conservateurs sont les seuls \u00e0 pr\u00e9tendre que c\u2019est un mauvais projet de loi. Pourquoi le Parti conservateur pense-t-il que tous les autres ont tort et que c\u2019est lui qui a raison? \u00c0 mon avis, les conservateurs ont perdu tout contact avec la r\u00e9alit\u00e9 et avec les Canadiens.</p>"
