        "en": "<p data-HoCid=\"4698733\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madam Speaker, l appreciate the comments of my colleague. Maybe he was very young when this occurred in 1988, but I can assure the House that now this young man is very bright, articulate, and very good. I appreciate that every time he rises in the House he has something to say that is very well documented.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4698734\" data-originallang=\"en\">We talked about the rise of protectionism. He is right and we must be aware. As an exporting country, Canada must be very aware of what is happening all around the world, in the U.S., or in Europe. This is why we have to be careful. We have to have good relationships with the U.S., with European countries, but also let me remind everyone that in election years every political party is against free trade. It is a trademark.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4698735\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Let me remind the House that President Obama before getting elected as president, talked about NAFTA saying, \u201cI'm the one that's driving, I'm the one that's driving the car and those two others are in the backseat\u201d. The two others he is talking about are the president of Mexico and about \u201cObama, president of Canada\u201d. He talked about us as a president of Canada. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4698736\" data-originallang=\"en\">This is just to say that during an election year, people talk tough. After that, they talk about business.</p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"4698733\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madame la Pr\u00e9sidente, j'appr\u00e9cie les observations de mon coll\u00e8gue. Il \u00e9tait peut-\u00eatre tr\u00e8s jeune en 1988, mais je peux dire \u00e0 la Chambre qu'aujourd'hui, ce jeune homme est tr\u00e8s intelligent, tr\u00e8s \u00e9loquent et tr\u00e8s bon. Je constate que, chaque fois qu'il prend la parole aux Communes, son propos est tr\u00e8s bien \u00e9tay\u00e9.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4698734\" data-originallang=\"en\">Nous parlions de la mont\u00e9e du protectionnisme. Il a raison, et nous devons \u00eatre conscients de ce probl\u00e8me. En tant que pays exportateur, le Canada doit \u00eatre bien au fait de ce qui se passe dans le monde, notamment aux \u00c9tats-Unis ou en Europe. C'est pourquoi nous devons faire attention. Nous devons entretenir de bonnes relations avec les \u00c9tats-Unis et avec les pays d'Europe, mais je voudrais rappeler \u00e0 tout le monde que, pendant les campagnes \u00e9lectorales, tous les partis politiques sont contre le libre-\u00e9change. C'est monnaie courante.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4698735\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je signale \u00e0 la Chambre qu'avant d'\u00eatre \u00e9lu pr\u00e9sident, Barack Obama disait, au sujet de l'ALENA, que c'\u00e9tait lui le conducteur et que les deux autres \u00e9taient des passagers. Les deux autres dont il parlait \u00e9taient le pr\u00e9sident du Mexique et le pr\u00e9sident du Canada. Selon Barack Obama, le Canada avait un pr\u00e9sident.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4698736\" data-originallang=\"en\">Bref, les ann\u00e9es o\u00f9 des \u00e9lections ont lieu, tout le monde durcit le ton. Par la suite, les gens se mettent \u00e0 parler le langage des affaires.</p>"
