"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"4919857\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Madam Speaker, my thanks to my colleague from <a data-HoCid=\"214086\" href=\"/politicians/alain-rayes/\" title=\"Alain Rayes\">Richmond\u2014Arthabaska</a> for his question, but also for the work he did on the Special Committee on Electoral Reform.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4919858\" data-originallang=\"fr\">My answer is that it is a mix of cynicism, manipulation and hypocrisy on the <a data-HoCid=\"214296\" href=\"/politicians/justin-trudeau/\" title=\"Justin Trudeau\">Prime Minister</a>'s part. It is quite an unbelievable mix. In fact, let us not forget that, even after the election, when he did his media tour in December 2016, the Liberal Prime Minister was still saying he was going to change the voting system.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4919859\" data-originallang=\"fr\">This is not just one small aspect of our democracy; it is a critical issue. He was with Patrice Roy on the <em>T\u00e9l\u00e9journal</em> in 2016, and he kept repeating that, when he makes a promise, it is serious business, he believes in it, and he will not back down just because it is difficult. If that is not laughing in everyone's face, I do not know what is.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4919860\" data-originallang=\"fr\">In 2019, voters will remember the Liberal way.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"4919857\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Madame la Pr\u00e9sidente, je remercie mon coll\u00e8gue de <a data-HoCid=\"214086\" href=\"/politicians/alain-rayes/\" title=\"Alain Rayes\">Richmond\u2014Arthabaska</a> de sa question, mais aussi du travail qu'il a fait au Comit\u00e9 sp\u00e9cial sur la r\u00e9forme \u00e9lectorale.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4919858\" data-originallang=\"fr\">La r\u00e9ponse que je donnerai c'est que c'est un m\u00e9lange de cynisme, de manipulation et d'hypocrisie de la part du <a data-HoCid=\"214296\" href=\"/politicians/justin-trudeau/\" title=\"Justin Trudeau\">premier ministre</a>. C'est une esp\u00e8ce de cocktail assez incroyable. En effet, rappelons-nous que, m\u00eame une fois \u00e9lu, quand il a fait sa tourn\u00e9e des m\u00e9dias, en d\u00e9cembre 2016, le premier ministre lib\u00e9ral continuait de r\u00e9p\u00e9ter qu'il allait changer le mode de scrutin.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4919859\" data-originallang=\"fr\"> Ce n'est pas un d\u00e9tail parmi d'autres dans notre d\u00e9mocratie, c'est un enjeu fondamental. Il \u00e9tait avec Patrice Roy au <em>T\u00e9l\u00e9journal</em>, en 2016, et il r\u00e9p\u00e9tait que, quand il fait une promesse, c'est s\u00e9rieux, il y croit, et ce n'est pas parce que c'est difficile qu'il ne le fera pas. Si ce n'est pas rire \u00e0 la face du monde, je ne sais pas ce que c'est.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4919860\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Les \u00e9lecteurs et les \u00e9lectrices, en 2019, vont s'en rappeler de la m\u00e9thode lib\u00e9rale.</p>"
