        "en": "<p data-HoCid=\"5160535\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, I appreciate the comments made by my colleague, and I want to highlight something I thought she talked about quite well. In fact, on the Aboriginal Peoples Television Network this morning, we were asked the same thing. It is two years into the mandate of the Liberal government, and we were asked for a letter grade on how the government was doing with respect to its commitments to indigenous people in Canada. I said I would give it an A-plus for talk but a C-minus for action.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5160536\" data-originallang=\"en\">Bill <a data-HoCid=\"8532485\" href=\"/bills/42-1/S-3/\" title=\"An Act to amend the Indian Act in response to the Superior Court of Quebec decision in Descheneaux c. Canada (Procureur g\u00e9n\u00e9ral)\">S-3</a> is one example of a piece of legislation that has been botched from the very beginning. We are a year from when it was first introduced in the Senate. The government has had to have the deadlines extended twice by the courts, and of course, we are now up against a timeframe. We found many flaws in this legislation when it first came for pre-study at committee.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5160537\" data-originallang=\"en\"> I would invite more comment on the current government's execution on the issues that it speaks so well about but really fails to execute on.</p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"5160535\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, je remercie la d\u00e9put\u00e9e pour ses commentaires, et je voudrais mettre l'accent sur une chose dont elle a tr\u00e8s bien parl\u00e9, je trouve. De fait, ce matin, \u00e0 l'Aboriginal Peoples Television Network, on nous a demand\u00e9 la m\u00eame chose. Cela fait deux ans que le gouvernement lib\u00e9ral est au pouvoir et on nous a demand\u00e9 de noter sa performance relativement aux promesses qu'il a faites aux populations autochtones du Canada. J'ai dit que je lui donnerais un A+ pour les discours et un C- pour les actes.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5160536\" data-originallang=\"en\">Le projet de loi <a data-HoCid=\"8532485\" href=\"/bills/42-1/S-3/\" title=\"An Act to amend the Indian Act in response to the Superior Court of Quebec decision in Descheneaux c. Canada (Procureur g\u00e9n\u00e9ral)\">S-3</a> est l'exemple d'un travail b\u00e2cl\u00e9 depuis le tout d\u00e9but. Cela fait un an qu'il a \u00e9t\u00e9 pr\u00e9sent\u00e9 au S\u00e9nat pour la premi\u00e8re fois. Le gouvernement a demand\u00e9 deux fois aux tribunaux de prolonger les d\u00e9lais et, bien s\u00fbr, maintenant nous approchons de la date butoir. Nous avons d\u00e9couvert de nombreuses lacunes dans cette mesure l\u00e9gislative quand le comit\u00e9 a entam\u00e9 son \u00e9tude pr\u00e9alable.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5160537\" data-originallang=\"en\">Les commentaires sur la mani\u00e8re dont le gouvernement actuel s'occupe des dossiers dont il parle avec tant d'\u00e9loquence, mais \u00e0 propos desquels il ne fait rien sont bienvenus.</p>"
