"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"5240499\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, it is such an important day for all of us, to be coming onto the same page at this moment in time, in our country and across the world. It is critical that we put our partisan hats to the side and do the very hard work that is necessary to ensure that this workplace is zero tolerance going forward. I applaud everyone who is getting up today to be a part of this debate. It is critical. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5240500\" data-originallang=\"en\">There are many tools that are needed in order to see this legislation go forward, but certainly even beyond that, I would like the minister to consider adopting 10-day paid leave for anyone who has been a victim of any type of harassment in their workplace. It is very important that they are able to have that time to deal with the fallout they are facing. We see women across our country being victimized all over again by social media and by people. We really need to advocate for them to have that time to be able to heal.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5240501\" data-originallang=\"en\">The other piece that is very important, and we will be bringing it forward, is a clear definition. This is the basis of all of the work we are doing. I implore the minister to adopt a clear definition in the legislation so that we will know exactly what we are facing going forward.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5240502\" data-originallang=\"en\">My question is about that definition. I hope the minister will entertain the amendments that will come forward about that.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"5240499\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, quelle belle journ\u00e9e pour tout le monde que celle o\u00f9 nous r\u00e9ussissons \u00e0 nous entendre, \u00e0 un moment comme celui-ci et dans le contexte actuel, que ce soit au Canada ou ailleurs sur la plan\u00e8te. Nous devons absolument mettre la partisanerie de c\u00f4t\u00e9 et nous atteler \u00e0 la dure t\u00e2che qui est devant nous, \u00e0 savoir faire le n\u00e9cessaire pour que la Chambre des communes soit un milieu de travail o\u00f9 on applique la politique de la tol\u00e9rance z\u00e9ro. J'applaudis tous les d\u00e9put\u00e9s qui ont pris ou qui prendront part au d\u00e9bat aujourd'hui. C'est essentiel.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5240500\" data-originallang=\"en\">Nous aurons besoin d'un grand nombre d'outils pour mettre ce projet de loi en oeuvre, mais au-del\u00e0 de cette consid\u00e9ration, nous aimerions que la ministre envisage d'octroyer 10 jours de cong\u00e9 pay\u00e9 \u00e0 quiconque est victime d'un type ou un autre de harc\u00e8lement au travail. Ces gens doivent absolument avoir les moyens de prendre le temps n\u00e9cessaire pour traverser les \u00e9preuves qu'ils vivent. On ne compte plus les femmes, partout au pays, que les m\u00e9dias sociaux et les gens en g\u00e9n\u00e9ral rendent doublement victimes. Nous devons prendre leur d\u00e9fense et leur donner le temps de panser leurs plaies.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5240501\" data-originallang=\"en\">Il est aussi tr\u00e8s important d'inscrire une d\u00e9finition claire dans la loi \u2014 et nous allons en proposer une. Tous nos efforts reposent l\u00e0-dessus. J'implore la ministre d'inscrire une d\u00e9finition claire dans la loi pour qu'on sache exactement \u00e0 quoi on a affaire.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5240502\" data-originallang=\"en\">Ma question porte sur la d\u00e9finition. J'esp\u00e8re que la ministre sera dispos\u00e9e \u00e0 examiner les amendements qui seront propos\u00e9s \u00e0 ce sujet.</p>"
