"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"5187183\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madam Speaker, opposition members repeatedly suggest that this bill is about something it is not. They keep talking about gender parity. That is not what this bill is about. This bill is about recognizing and giving importance and equality to certain areas, such as science, although I know that the opposition wanted to muzzle scientists; disabilities; la Francophonie; and small businesses. All of these are equally important. Does the member not agree that these people are equally important? For example, should the <a data-HoCid=\"233809\" href=\"/politicians/kent-hehr/\" title=\"Kent Hehr\">Minister of Sport and Persons with Disabilities</a>, who is male, have a different or lesser voice at the cabinet table, not because he is male but because he represents sport and disabilities?</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"5187183\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madame la Pr\u00e9sidente, les d\u00e9put\u00e9s de l'opposition ont pr\u00eat\u00e9 \u00e0 maintes reprises des intentions au projet de loi, mais ils ont tort. Ils n'arr\u00eatent pas de parler de la parit\u00e9 hommes-femmes. Ce n'est pas ce sur quoi porte le projet de loi. Le projet de loi vise \u00e0 reconna\u00eetre, \u00e0 valoriser et \u00e0 assurer l'\u00e9galit\u00e9 dans certains domaines, comme ceux des sciences \u2014 m\u00eame si je sais que l'opposition voulait museler les scientifiques \u2014, des personnes handicap\u00e9es, de la Francophonie et des petites entreprises. Ils sont tous d'importance \u00e9gale. Le d\u00e9put\u00e9 n'est-il pas d'accord que tous ces gens sont aussi importants les uns que les autres? Par exemple, le <a data-HoCid=\"233809\" href=\"/politicians/kent-hehr/\" title=\"Kent Hehr\">ministre des Sports et des Personnes handicap\u00e9es</a>, qui est un homme, devrait-il avoir moins de place au sein du Cabinet, pas parce qu'il est un homme, mais parce qu'il repr\u00e9sente les sports et les personnes handicap\u00e9es? </p>"
