"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"5187240\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madam Speaker, I know I will get an opportunity to address this matter in a more thorough way shortly, but I would like to pick up on my colleague's last comments. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5187241\" data-originallang=\"en\">Some members of the New Democratic Party want to talk more about the bill, while others just want to see the bill disappear. It seems that diversity is good, even that kind of diversity on the New Democrat benches. However, the member seems to want to focus on the <a data-HoCid=\"214296\" href=\"/politicians/justin-trudeau/\" title=\"Justin Trudeau\">Prime Minister</a> having different types of standards for different members of the Liberal caucus. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5187242\" data-originallang=\"en\">I want to assure the member that whether one is a cabinet minister, parliamentary secretary, committee chair, or an individual member who sits on a committee, all members of the Liberal caucus are treated with an immense amount of respect by the <a data-HoCid=\"214296\" href=\"/politicians/justin-trudeau/\" title=\"Justin Trudeau\">Prime Minister</a>. We have an opportunity to meet with the <a data-HoCid=\"214296\" href=\"/politicians/justin-trudeau/\" title=\"Justin Trudeau\">Prime Minister</a> if we want to, and constant dialogue takes place. We have a Prime Minister who genuinely encourages his members of Parliament to represent their constituencies here in Ottawa, as opposed to representing Ottawa in their constituencies. That is a good thing.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5187243\" data-originallang=\"en\">Let us contrast that to Jagmeet Singh, the leader of the New Democratic Party. There was an interesting kerfuffle when Jagmeet apparently did not confer with his caucus in regards to bilingual appointments. I wonder if the member could indicate to the House whether the NDP caucus has worked out what role Jagmeet has in making decisions on policy matters, because I know that issue was a little sensitive the other day. Could the member comment on how and what kind of relationship Jagmeet has with his NDP caucus?</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"5187240\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madame la Pr\u00e9sidente, je sais que j'aurai l'occasion sous peu d'examiner cette question de mani\u00e8re plus d\u00e9taill\u00e9e, mais j'aimerais revenir sur les derniers commentaires du d\u00e9put\u00e9.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5187241\" data-originallang=\"en\">Certains d\u00e9put\u00e9s n\u00e9o-d\u00e9mocrates souhaitent parler plus longuement du projet de loi, alors que d'autres veulent tout simplement qu'il disparaisse. La diversit\u00e9 est une bonne chose, m\u00eame lorsqu'elle se manifeste ainsi dans les rangs n\u00e9o-d\u00e9mocrates. Le d\u00e9put\u00e9 semble vouloir s'attarder sur le fait que, selon lui, le <a data-HoCid=\"214296\" href=\"/politicians/justin-trudeau/\" title=\"Justin Trudeau\">premier ministre</a> ne traiterait pas tous les membres du caucus lib\u00e9ral sur un pied d'\u00e9galit\u00e9.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5187242\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je tiens \u00e0 assurer au d\u00e9put\u00e9 que le <a data-HoCid=\"214296\" href=\"/politicians/justin-trudeau/\" title=\"Justin Trudeau\">premier ministre</a> \u00e9prouve \u00e9norm\u00e9ment de respect envers tous les membres du caucus lib\u00e9ral, qu'ils soient ministres, secr\u00e9taires parlementaires ou pr\u00e9sidents ou membres d'un comit\u00e9. Si nous le souhaitons, nous pouvons rencontrer le <a data-HoCid=\"214296\" href=\"/politicians/justin-trudeau/\" title=\"Justin Trudeau\">premier ministre</a>, et les voies de communication sont toujours ouvertes avec lui. Le premier ministre encourage sinc\u00e8rement les d\u00e9put\u00e9s lib\u00e9raux \u00e0 repr\u00e9senter les r\u00e9sidants de leur circonscription \u00e0 Ottawa, plut\u00f4t que de repr\u00e9senter Ottawa aupr\u00e8s de leurs concitoyens. C'est une bonne chose.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5187243\" data-originallang=\"en\">Maintenant, comparons le comportement du premier ministre \u00e0 celui de Jagmeet Singh, le chef du Nouveau Parti d\u00e9mocratique. Nous avons \u00e9t\u00e9 t\u00e9moins d'un cafouillage int\u00e9ressant lorsque Jagmeet a apparemment n\u00e9glig\u00e9 de consulter son caucus relativement \u00e0 la nomination de candidats bilingues. Je me demande si le d\u00e9put\u00e9 pourrait indiquer \u00e0 la Chambre si le caucus du NPD a d\u00e9termin\u00e9 en quoi consiste le r\u00f4le de Jagmeet dans la prise de d\u00e9cisions concernant les politiques. Je sais que cette question a \u00e9t\u00e9 quelque peu d\u00e9licate l'autre jour. Le d\u00e9put\u00e9 pourrait-il nous parler du type de relation que Jagmeet entretient avec les membres de son caucus?</p>"
