"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"5187939\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, that is a very technical question. The crux of Bill <a data-HoCid=\"8374844\" href=\"/bills/42-1/C-24/\" title=\"An Act to amend the Salaries Act and to make a consequential amendment to the Financial Administration Act\">C-24</a> is very much to ensure that all cabinet ministers are equal. What the bill would do is ensure that all ministers have the resources, responsibilities, and independence to bring issues to cabinet. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5187940\" data-originallang=\"en\">They are full cabinet ministers. The fact that they are using the same resources is an efficiency. It is a proven model that has worked. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5187941\" data-originallang=\"en\">I can give the member an example. The <a data-HoCid=\"214338\" href=\"/politicians/kirsty-duncan/\" title=\"Kirsty Duncan\">Minister of Science</a>, the <a data-HoCid=\"214340\" href=\"/politicians/bardish-chagger/\" title=\"Bardish Chagger\">Minister of Small Business and Tourism</a>, and the <a data-HoCid=\"214319\" href=\"/politicians/navdeep-bains/\" title=\"Navdeep Bains\">Minister of Innovation, Science and Economic Development</a> are all sourced out of the department of economic development. It is a great model to ensure that all three ministers, through Bill <a data-HoCid=\"8374844\" href=\"/bills/42-1/C-24/\" title=\"An Act to amend the Salaries Act and to make a consequential amendment to the Financial Administration Act\">C-24</a>, would be able to be paid and would be able to share these resources. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5187942\" data-originallang=\"en\">This is very much a technical bill to ensure that going forward, prime ministers would have the flexibility to change the types of ministries they need to serve Canadians. As we have a rapidly growing economy, this kind of flexibility will be needed by future prime ministers. That is what this bill would do. </p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"5187939\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, c'est une question tr\u00e8s technique. Le but premier du projet de loi <a data-HoCid=\"8374844\" href=\"/bills/42-1/C-24/\" title=\"An Act to amend the Salaries Act and to make a consequential amendment to the Financial Administration Act\">C-24</a> est de faire en sorte que tous les ministres soient \u00e9gaux. Le projet de loi garantirait que tous les ministres disposent des ressources, des responsabilit\u00e9s et de l'ind\u00e9pendance n\u00e9cessaires pour soumettre des dossiers au Cabinet. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5187940\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Ce sont des ministres \u00e0 part enti\u00e8re. Le fait qu'ils utilisent les m\u00eames ressources est une fa\u00e7on de faire efficace. C'est un mod\u00e8le \u00e9prouv\u00e9 qui fonctionne. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5187941\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Je peux donner un exemple au d\u00e9put\u00e9. Les budgets de la <a data-HoCid=\"214338\" href=\"/politicians/kirsty-duncan/\" title=\"Kirsty Duncan\">ministre des Sciences</a>, de la <a data-HoCid=\"214340\" href=\"/politicians/bardish-chagger/\" title=\"Bardish Chagger\">ministre de la Petite Entreprise et du Tourisme</a> et du <a data-HoCid=\"214319\" href=\"/politicians/navdeep-bains/\" title=\"Navdeep Bains\">ministre de l'Innovation, des Sciences et du D\u00e9veloppement \u00e9conomique</a> proviennent tous du minist\u00e8re du D\u00e9veloppement \u00e9conomique. C'est un excellent mod\u00e8le. Gr\u00e2ce au projet de loi <a data-HoCid=\"8374844\" href=\"/bills/42-1/C-24/\" title=\"An Act to amend the Salaries Act and to make a consequential amendment to the Financial Administration Act\">C-24</a>, ces trois ministres pourront \u00eatre pay\u00e9s et partager les ressources. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5187942\" data-originallang=\"en\">Il s'agit v\u00e9ritablement d'un projet de loi technique qui vise \u00e0 donner aux premiers ministres la souplesse n\u00e9cessaire pour modifier les minist\u00e8res en fonction de leurs besoins pour servir les Canadiens. Comme l'\u00e9conomie cro\u00eet rapidement, une telle flexibilit\u00e9 sera n\u00e9cessaire aux futurs premiers ministres. C'est ce que ce projet de loi permettrait de faire. </p>"
