"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"5593401\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague and friend for his kind remarks. I remember his dad well and enjoyed working with him very much.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5593402\" data-originallang=\"en\">The hon. member mentioned 900 appointments. We just want nine. We want 1%. As to the other ones, I am glad that the government is improving the system and that it is resulting in more diversity. That is all to the good, but it has nothing to do with what I have put before the House.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5593403\" data-originallang=\"en\">I have put before the House this question: Should we as Parliament have the responsibility and ownership for hiring our agents? </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5593404\" data-originallang=\"en\">It is good that the government is making those changes. I hope they do better than the appointments we have seen, because the process is pretty bad.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5593405\" data-originallang=\"en\">The issue is really not what the government is doing internally for the positions it is entitled to make appointments for. I am talking about the nine that in my opinion the government is not entitled to appoint.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"5593401\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, je remercie mon coll\u00e8gue et ami de ses aimables observations. Je me souviens bien de son p\u00e8re et j\u2019ai beaucoup aim\u00e9 travailler avec lui.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5593402\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Mon coll\u00e8gue a parl\u00e9 de 900 nominations. On en veut seulement neuf. Nous voulons 1 %. Pour ce qui est des autres, je suis heureux que le gouvernement am\u00e9liore le syst\u00e8me et qu\u2019il en r\u00e9sulte une plus grande diversit\u00e9. C\u2019est tant mieux, mais cela n\u2019a rien \u00e0 voir avec ce que j\u2019ai soumis \u00e0 la Chambre.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5593403\" data-originallang=\"en\"> J\u2019ai pos\u00e9 cette question \u00e0 la Chambre: le Parlement devrait-il avoir la responsabilit\u00e9 de l\u2019embauche de ses agents?</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5593404\" data-originallang=\"en\"> C\u2019est une bonne chose que le gouvernement apporte ces changements. J\u2019esp\u00e8re qu\u2019il fera mieux que les nominations que nous avons vues, parce que le processus est plut\u00f4t mauvais.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5593405\" data-originallang=\"en\"> La question n\u2019est pas vraiment de savoir ce que le gouvernement fait \u00e0 l\u2019interne \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e9gard des postes pour lesquels il a le droit de faire des nominations. Je parle des neuf postes que, \u00e0 mon avis, le gouvernement ne devrait pas avoir le droit de doter.</p>"
