"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"4727926\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, over the past year, we consulted with hundreds of thousands of Canadians to hear their views on transforming our electoral system. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4727927\" data-originallang=\"en\">It is very clear. As people in this House know, I have long preferred a preferential ballot. The members opposite wanted a proportional representation. The official opposition wanted a referendum. There is no consensus. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4727928\" data-originallang=\"en\">There is no clear path forward. It would be irresponsible for us to do something that harms Canada's stability when, in fact, what we need is to move forward on growth for the middle class and support.</p>",

Comme les d\u00e9put\u00e9s le savent, j'ai une pr\u00e9f\u00e9rence de longue date pour un mode de scrutin pr\u00e9f\u00e9rentiel. Les d\u00e9put\u00e9s d'en face veulent une repr\u00e9sentation proportionnelle. L'opposition officielle souhaite la tenue d'un r\u00e9f\u00e9rendum. Il n'y a pas de consensus.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4727928\" data-originallang=\"en\">Il n'y a pas de voie claire \u00e0 suivre. Il serait irresponsable de prendre des mesures qui nuiraient \u00e0 la stabilit\u00e9 du Canada au moment o\u00f9 nous devons plut\u00f4t favoriser la croissance pour la classe moyenne.</p>"
