"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"4740193\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Madam Speaker, I am totally disconcerted, disappointed and frustrated, like thousands if not millions of Canadians who, like my colleague from the Green Party, do not understand it. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4740194\" data-originallang=\"fr\"> What we do in fact understand is that the Liberals were greatly advantaged by the first-past-the-post system. They nonetheless repeated their promise during the campaign, many times in the House of Commons, and even in the throne speech. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4740195\" data-originallang=\"fr\"> Last December 2, and again recently, the <a data-HoCid=\"214296\" href=\"/politicians/justin-trudeau/\" title=\"Justin Trudeau\">Prime Minister</a> was saying: \u201cI make promises because I believe in them. I\u2019ve heard loudly and clearly that Canadians want a better system of governance, a better system of choosing our governments, and I\u2019m working very hard so that 2015 is indeed the last election under first-past-the-post.\u201d </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4740196\" data-originallang=\"fr\">It is shameful for a <a data-HoCid=\"214296\" href=\"/politicians/justin-trudeau/\" title=\"Justin Trudeau\">prime minister</a> to promote another system and not even be able to keep his promise on the pretext that there is no consensus, when 90% of the experts agree that the system should be reformed.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"4740193\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Madame la Pr\u00e9sidente, je suis totalement d\u00e9contenanc\u00e9e, d\u00e9\u00e7ue et frustr\u00e9e, comme plusieurs milliers, pour ne pas dire millions, de Canadiens qui, comme ma coll\u00e8gue du Parti vert, ne le comprennent pas. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4740194\" data-originallang=\"fr\">En fait, on croit comprendre que les lib\u00e9raux ont \u00e9t\u00e9 grandement avantag\u00e9s par le syst\u00e8me uninominal \u00e0 un tour. Or ils ont r\u00e9p\u00e9t\u00e9 leur promesse lors de l'\u00e9lection, plusieurs fois \u00e0 la Chambre des communes et m\u00eame dans le discours du Tr\u00f4ne. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4740195\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Le 2 d\u00e9cembre dernier, et r\u00e9cemment encore, le <a data-HoCid=\"214296\" href=\"/politicians/justin-trudeau/\" title=\"Justin Trudeau\">premier ministre</a> disait: \u00ab Je fais des promesses parce que j'y crois. J'ai entendu clairement que les Canadiens voulaient un meilleur syst\u00e8me de gouvernance, un meilleur syst\u00e8me pour choisir nos gouvernements, et je travaille tr\u00e8s fort pour que l'\u00e9lection de 2015 ait \u00e9t\u00e9 la derni\u00e8re avec le syst\u00e8me uninominal \u00e0 un tour. \u00bb</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4740196\" data-originallang=\"fr\">C'est honteux de la part d'un <a data-HoCid=\"214296\" href=\"/politicians/justin-trudeau/\" title=\"Justin Trudeau\">premier ministre</a> d'en faire la promotion et de ne m\u00eame pas \u00eatre capable de tenir sa promesse sous pr\u00e9texte qu'il n'y a pas de consensus, alors que 90 % des experts s'entendent pour que le syst\u00e8me soit r\u00e9form\u00e9.</p>"
