        "en": "<p data-HoCid=\"5582194\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, absolutely, and as I said at the beginning of my speech we are supportive of the government. I thank the minister and shadow minister for their work. What I was talking about is my concern about the implementation of it going forward. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5582195\" data-originallang=\"en\">I appreciate the member's point of view as to what happened. We can all take a look at the committee Hansard to determine what happened and what was actually said. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5582196\" data-originallang=\"en\">I would just remind members that it is easy to get caught up in trying to make sure to defend a position without necessarily thinking all of the aspects through, and as it was said with respect to this report from the U.K., the culture is deference, subservience, acquiescence and silence. In that moment when the word \u201cneanderthal\u201d was used, it would have been very simple for the minister to apologize and withdraw it right away. He chose not to. That is the point of contention that I have. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5582197\" data-originallang=\"en\">By the way, for the member to submit here for the House that because he was provoked it was okay is a part of a word that I cannot say, but it is shameful.</p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"5582194\" data-originallang=\"en\">Tout \u00e0 fait, monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, et comme je l\u2019ai dit au d\u00e9but de mon intervention, nous soutenons l\u2019action du gouvernement. Je salue le travail accompli par la ministre et par la ministre du cabinet fant\u00f4me. Ce qui me pr\u00e9occupe et dont j\u2019ai parl\u00e9, c\u2019est la fa\u00e7on dont se fera la mise en oeuvre.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5582195\" data-originallang=\"en\"> La d\u00e9put\u00e9e a donn\u00e9 sa version de ce qui s\u2019est pass\u00e9. J\u2019en prends note. Tout ce qu'il nous reste \u00e0 faire, c\u2019est de consulter le compte rendu du comit\u00e9 pour savoir de quoi il en retourne et ce qui s\u2019est dit exactement. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5582196\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Il est facile de se faire prendre \u00e0 d\u00e9fendre une position sans avoir pris la mesure de toutes ses ramifications. Comme on l\u2019a dit au sujet du rapport britannique, on a affaire \u00e0 une culture de d\u00e9f\u00e9rence, d\u2019ob\u00e9issance servile, d\u2019acquiescement et de silence. Au moment o\u00f9 le ministre a employ\u00e9 le mot \u00ab n\u00e9andertalienne \u00bb, il aurait pu tout simplement s'excuser et retirer ses paroles imm\u00e9diatement. Il a choisi de ne pas le faire, et c\u2019est pr\u00e9cis\u00e9ment ce contre quoi je m\u2019insurge. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5582197\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Soit dit en passant, quand la d\u00e9put\u00e9e excuse ici le ministre d'avoir employ\u00e9 ce terme parce qu\u2019on l\u2019avait provoqu\u00e9, j\u2019estime que c\u2019est une honte, pour ne pas dire autre chose.</p>"
