"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"4854997\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, I had the opportunity to sit on the PROC committee when we had to deal with this issue. Every member of this House recognizes the importance of unfettered access. This government, and particularly the <a data-HoCid=\"224669\" href=\"/politicians/bardish-chagger/\" title=\"Bardish Chagger\">government House leader</a>, has been very clear that it needs to go before PROC. That is what has happened before.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4854998\" data-originallang=\"en\">PROC, as the minister has talked about, is best equipped to deal with this issue. My understanding, and I would ask the <a data-HoCid=\"224669\" href=\"/politicians/bardish-chagger/\" title=\"Bardish Chagger\">government House leader</a> to make it perfectly clear to opposition members, is that the government supports this. We will be voting in favour of the subamendment and the amendment. We want to see it go to PROC. That is what has previously taken place.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4854999\" data-originallang=\"en\">PROC is the best place to resolve this issue. We have seen this dealt with in the past. Yesterday I was surprised to see members, even opposition members, standing and saying that this is a filibuster. I was surprised that members would use a filibuster on an issue that is so fundamentally important. I appreciate what the member across the way said about unfettered access. I saw the passion in his speech.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4855000\" data-originallang=\"en\">I, too, want to get this issue resolved. The best way to resolve it is to have it go to PROC. We are voting in favour of it. Maybe the <a data-HoCid=\"224669\" href=\"/politicians/bardish-chagger/\" title=\"Bardish Chagger\">government House leader</a> could re-emphasize where the government is coming from and why it is we want to see this dealt with as quickly as possible.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"4854997\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, je si\u00e9geais au comit\u00e9 de la proc\u00e9dure lorsqu'il a \u00e9tudi\u00e9 la question. Chaque d\u00e9put\u00e9 reconnait l'importance d'un acc\u00e8s sans entrave. Le gouvernement actuel, en particulier la <a data-HoCid=\"224669\" href=\"/politicians/bardish-chagger/\" title=\"Bardish Chagger\">leader du gouvernement \u00e0 la Chambre</a>, a \u00e9t\u00e9 tr\u00e8s clair quant au fait que la question doit \u00eatre renvoy\u00e9e au comit\u00e9 de la proc\u00e9dure. C'est ce qui est s'est fait par le pass\u00e9. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4854998\" data-originallang=\"en\">Comme le ministre l'a indiqu\u00e9, le comit\u00e9 de la proc\u00e9dure est le mieux outill\u00e9 pour traiter de la question. D'apr\u00e8s ce que je comprends \u2014 et je demanderais \u00e0 la <a data-HoCid=\"224669\" href=\"/politicians/bardish-chagger/\" title=\"Bardish Chagger\">leader du gouvernement \u00e0 la Chambre </a> de l'indiquer hors de tout doute aux d\u00e9put\u00e9s de l'opposition \u2014, le gouvernement appuie cette approche. Nous voterons en faveur du sous-amendement et de l'amendement. Nous voulons que la question soit renvoy\u00e9e au comit\u00e9 de la proc\u00e9dure. C'est ce qui a \u00e9t\u00e9 fait dans le pass\u00e9.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4854999\" data-originallang=\"en\">Le comit\u00e9 de la proc\u00e9dure est le meilleur endroit o\u00f9 r\u00e9soudre la question. Ce genre de question a d\u00e9j\u00e0 \u00e9t\u00e9 \u00e9tudi\u00e9e auparavant. Hier, des d\u00e9put\u00e9s \u2014 y compris, \u00e0 ma grande surprise, des d\u00e9put\u00e9s de l'opposition \u2014 ont qualifi\u00e9 la situation de manoeuvre d'obstruction syst\u00e9matique. J'ai \u00e9t\u00e9 surpris que des d\u00e9put\u00e9s fassent de l'obstruction syst\u00e9matique \u00e0 l'\u00e9gard d'une question aussi fondamentale. Je comprends ce que le d\u00e9put\u00e9 d'en face a fait valoir au sujet du libre acc\u00e8s et j'ai vu dans son discours que le sujet lui tient \u00e0 coeur.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4855000\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je souhaite \u00e9galement voir cette question r\u00e9solue. La meilleure fa\u00e7on d'y parvenir est de la renvoyer au comit\u00e9 de la proc\u00e9dure. Nous allons voter en faveur de ce renvoi. La <a data-HoCid=\"224669\" href=\"/politicians/bardish-chagger/\" title=\"Bardish Chagger\">leader du gouvernement \u00e0 la Chambre</a> pourrait expliquer de nouveau la position du gouvernement et indiquer pourquoi nous voulons r\u00e9soudre la question le plus rapidement possible.</p>"
