"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"4357816\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, I thank my hon. friend from Kingston for his excellent speech and his inspired bill. I think that all of us on this side are very interested in advancing the cause of women in the workplace, particularly in non-traditional professions.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4357817\" data-originallang=\"en\">I know my hon. colleague was a mayor. I was proud when we hired our first woman public works director in my city while I was mayor. I think that is an example that we are getting more and more women in professions that otherwise, when I was born, they would certainly never have considered joining.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4357818\" data-originallang=\"en\">Given the examples of all of the countries he cited around the world, does he believe that in Canada we should be joining the rest of the world in terms of allowing women to not have to choose between motherhood and their profession? What does he think about that?</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"4357816\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, je remercie mon coll\u00e8gue de Kingston de son excellente allocution et de son projet de loi inspirant. Tous les d\u00e9put\u00e9s de ce c\u00f4t\u00e9-ci de la Chambre souhaitent ardemment faire avancer la cause des femmes en milieu de travail et, plus particuli\u00e8rement, de celles qui exercent une profession non traditionnelle.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4357817\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je sais que mon coll\u00e8gue a d\u00e9j\u00e0 \u00e9t\u00e9 maire. En ce qui me concerne, \u00e0 l'\u00e9poque o\u00f9 j'\u00e9tais maire, j'ai ressenti une grande fiert\u00e9 la premi\u00e8re fois que ma ville a embauch\u00e9 une femme comme directrice des travaux publics. \u00c0 mon avis, cela prouve que de plus en plus de femmes exercent des professions qu'elles n'auraient certainement jamais envisag\u00e9 d'exercer quand j'\u00e9tais enfant.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4357818\" data-originallang=\"en\">Le d\u00e9put\u00e9 croit-il que le Canada devrait embo\u00eeter le pas aux nombreux pays qu'il a donn\u00e9s en exemple et permettre aux femmes de ne pas \u00eatre oblig\u00e9es de choisir entre la maternit\u00e9 et leur profession? Qu'en pense-t-il? </p>"
