"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"5675425\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madam Speaker, this is another sad day in Parliament. We remember back in 2015 the <a data-HoCid=\"214296\" href=\"/politicians/justin-trudeau/\" title=\"Justin Trudeau\">Prime Minister</a> made a commitment to change Parliament from the incredibly stubborn actions of the former government of Stephen Harper and put into place provisions that allowed for democratic debate. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5675426\" data-originallang=\"en\">Close to 40 closure motions have now been brought forward in this Parliament by the Liberal government. It is called time allocation, but that is splitting hairs. It is closure. It is shutting down the right to debate in the House of Commons. At the same time as closure is being enacted in the House of Commons, at the finance committee, Liberal representatives are systematically defeating all of the opposition amendments designed to improve the major flaws in the budget implementation bill, huge omnibus legislation that has been given scant hours of treatment and where Liberal MPs are simply voting down any improvements to the legislation. This means it will have to be tested by the courts, as we saw under the Stephen Harper government. The Liberals are going right back to the kinds of practices that Canadians deplore. They are doubling down.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5675427\" data-originallang=\"en\">We have this piece of legislation, and the minister admits that the vast majority of amendments to it were refused. Yes, there were witnesses, but the Liberals were not listening to the witnesses. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5675428\" data-originallang=\"en\">My question is very simple. Why have the Liberals enacted all of the worst practices of the Stephen Harper government to ram legislation through without due consideration in this Parliament?</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"5675425\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madame la Pr\u00e9sidente, c'est une autre triste journ\u00e9e pour le Parlement. En 2015, le <a data-HoCid=\"214296\" href=\"/politicians/justin-trudeau/\" title=\"Justin Trudeau\">premier ministre</a> s'est engag\u00e9 \u00e0 changer le Parlement de fa\u00e7on \u00e0 rem\u00e9dier aux mesures extr\u00eamement obstin\u00e9es de l'ancien gouvernement de Stephen Harper et \u00e0 mettre en place des dispositions permettant le d\u00e9bat d\u00e9mocratique. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5675426\" data-originallang=\"en\">Pr\u00e8s de 40 motions de cl\u00f4ture ont maintenant \u00e9t\u00e9 pr\u00e9sent\u00e9es par le gouvernement lib\u00e9ral au cours de la pr\u00e9sente l\u00e9gislature. Il s'agit de motions d'attribution de temps, mais cette pr\u00e9cision ne sert qu'\u00e0 couper les cheveux en quatre. Il est question de cl\u00f4ture. Le gouvernement bafoue le droit de d\u00e9battre \u00e0 la Chambre des communes. Alors qu'une motion de cl\u00f4ture est appliqu\u00e9e \u00e0 la Chambre des communes, au comit\u00e9 des finances, les membres lib\u00e9raux votent syst\u00e9matiquement contre tous les amendements de l'opposition con\u00e7us pour combler les graves lacunes qui se trouvent dans le projet de loi d'ex\u00e9cution du budget, un \u00e9norme projet de loi omnibus qui a fait l'objet d'une \u00e9tude de quelques heures \u00e0 peine et dont toutes les am\u00e9liorations sont simplement rejet\u00e9es par les d\u00e9put\u00e9s lib\u00e9raux. Cela signifie que le projet de loi devra \u00eatre port\u00e9 devant les tribunaux, comme nous l'avons observ\u00e9 sous le gouvernement de Stephen Harper. Les lib\u00e9raux retournent aux types de pratiques que les Canadiens d\u00e9plorent. Ils doublent la mise.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5675427\" data-originallang=\"en\">Nous avons ce projet de loi et la ministre admet que la vaste majorit\u00e9 des amendements propos\u00e9s ont \u00e9t\u00e9 rejet\u00e9s. Oui, il y avait des t\u00e9moins, mais les lib\u00e9raux ne les ont pas \u00e9cout\u00e9s.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5675428\" data-originallang=\"en\">Ma question est tr\u00e8s simple. Pourquoi les lib\u00e9raux ont-ils adopt\u00e9 toutes les pires pratiques du gouvernement de Stephen Harper afin de faire adopter une mesure l\u00e9gislative \u00e0 toute vapeur au Parlement, sans m\u00fbre r\u00e9flexion?</p>"
