        "en": "<p data-HoCid=\"5315312\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Yes, way. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5315313\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, they do not even realize that.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5315314\" data-originallang=\"en\">We have a growing Indo-Canadian community. It is one of the fastest-growing communities in Canada today. We can look at the city of Winnipeg and the impact that community has had on Winnipeg over the last 10, 20, 30 years. It is virtually second to no other community. In fact, in the north end, it is one of the driving forces behind the economic activity we are seeing in a very real and tangible way.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5315315\" data-originallang=\"en\">One of the greatest assets we have as a nation is our diversity. If we look at the Indo-Canadian community in particular with over a million people of Indo-Canadian heritage, it should be a given that any prime minister would make India a priority, as this <a data-HoCid=\"214296\" href=\"/politicians/justin-trudeau/\" title=\"Justin Trudeau\">Prime Minister</a> has done.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5315316\" data-originallang=\"en\">Somewhere in the neighbourhood of 1,000 Canadian businesses in one form or another today have some sort of economic link to India. That number is growing every year. Hundreds of those businesses actually have a physical presence in India. Those individuals are helping create jobs here in Canada and in India.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5315317\" data-originallang=\"en\">Do the Conservatives and their NDP friends, who want to help them a lot nowadays, recognize the many benefits that were derived out of that trip? They want to focus on an innocent mistake as opposed to talking about the opportunities. If they got in touch with their constituents, they would find that India is a country that warrants the attention this government is giving it. If we continue to develop those relationships, both countries will benefit. That is really what that trip was all about.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5315318\" data-originallang=\"en\">Imagine $1 billion of extra activity between two countries in good part because of that trip, at least partly as a direct result of the trip. That will generate thousands of jobs for Canadians. We do not hear opposition members recognizing that, but that is fine. They do not have to. We are not twisting their arms.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5315319\" data-originallang=\"en\">I would have been more encouraged by the debate if the opposition motion had been about how important it is that Canada build a stronger relationship with India, maybe even looking at ways to enhance trade between the two countries.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5315320\" data-originallang=\"en\">I was at a Canada House event one evening where businesses, non-profits, and others were in attendance. I was part of many of the informal discussions that were taking place. The <a data-HoCid=\"214296\" href=\"/politicians/justin-trudeau/\" title=\"Justin Trudeau\">Prime Minister</a> addressed that group and talked about the importance of the relationship between India and Canada. Not only were people there appreciating what he had to say but there must have been dozens of phones recording what was being said by the Prime Minister, and I suspect it was all over social media.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5315321\" data-originallang=\"en\">When the <a data-HoCid=\"214296\" href=\"/politicians/justin-trudeau/\" title=\"Justin Trudeau\">Prime Minister</a> of Canada makes a trip of that nature, we cannot buy that kind of advertising for Canada in India. It just cannot be bought. The amount of attention that was given because our Prime Minister went to India is significant among the people of India and also back home in Canada.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5315322\" data-originallang=\"en\">Many members of the Indo-Canadian community in particular have approached me and talked to me about the trip in a positive fashion. I can count on one hand, and maybe only use two fingers of that hand, the criticisms that have been brought to my attention personally on the issue. However, I would need a lot more than two hands to count the amount of appreciation that I have witnessed just from one community alone in regard to the benefits of the trip. I understand and appreciate just how important that trip was. It was about building relationships. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5315323\" data-originallang=\"en\">The New Democrats talk about the 14 MPs and I believe it was six ministers who went. I was one of those members of Parliament who went. I paid my own way to get there, but I can tell those members that I enjoyed the experience. I had the opportunity to meet with hundreds of individuals. I was able to speak to students at elementary and secondary schools and at colleges, to share all sorts of wonderful ideas and thoughts about how important it is that we continue to build those bridges. It was a fantastic experience. Most of my time was spent in the Punjab, one of the states I truly enjoy being in. I have been there before. Many of my constituents spend the months of January and February and even longer in the Punjab region of India. These ties give Canada a strategic advantage over other countries in the world. We should be fostering and encouraging that wherever we can.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5315324\" data-originallang=\"en\">Let us look at some of the benefits. I made reference to $1 billion. A billion dollars is a significant amount of money. On an annual basis, we are talking about 40,000 jobs, if we were to allocate it just to minimum wage jobs here in Canada. A billion dollars is a lot of money. More significant than that $1 billion is the amount of trade between Canada and India today. I believe it is just over $8 billion. In the last year or so, it has increased significantly. I suggest that if the opposition members were to open their eyes and get a better understanding of the potential that is there through an enhanced relationship between Canada and India, that number could increase dramatically, and I believe that it will. A good reason for it to increase is that we have a government in Canada today that has a very proactive approach on trade and is very much interested in what is taking place in India.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5315325\" data-originallang=\"en\">I was amazed. As I said, I spent most of my time in the Punjab. When the <a data-HoCid=\"214296\" href=\"/politicians/justin-trudeau/\" title=\"Justin Trudeau\">Prime Minister</a> came to the Golden Temple, there were banners and thousands of people who wanted to see him. It is truly encouraging, and we should be proud of that fact, no matter what side of the House we sit on, because we cannot buy that type of public relations and advertising within the country of India. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5315326\" data-originallang=\"en\">I had no sense of what the international media were reporting here, but in India the<a data-HoCid=\"214296\" href=\"/politicians/justin-trudeau/\" title=\"Justin Trudeau\">Prime Minister</a> was exceptionally well received, from what I could see. At the events that I participated in, a couple of them in New Delhi but otherwise in the Punjab, there was that recognition when talking to people, \u201cOh, yes, the Prime Minister of Canada is here.\u201d</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5315327\" data-originallang=\"en\">I have been to India before, and I have never seen a past prime minister receive the type of recognition this <a data-HoCid=\"214296\" href=\"/politicians/justin-trudeau/\" title=\"Justin Trudeau\">Prime Minister</a> received in terms of having that physical presence in the country.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5315328\" data-originallang=\"en\">When we talk about that event, I posed this in one of my questions with regard to Mr. Atwal. Unfortunately, an invite went out that should not have, and when it was discovered it was rescinded. Rescinded means that it was taken away, and that the individual in question did not show up at Canada's High Commission. At the end of the day, at times mistakes happen. The government has been straightforward with that issue. However, what we see now is a concentrated attempt from the opposition to say that it wants this civil servant to come before a standing committee.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5315329\" data-originallang=\"en\">A couple of thoughts come to mind offhand. First and foremost, I believe we have a professional civil servant with an incredible career who acts in the best interests of Canadians, who did his job, and now, because the opposition wants to stir a pot and cause other issues, it says it wants him to come to committee. It wants to politicize it. Yes, that is what it is attempting to do. There is a standing committee for this. The Conservatives have already attempted to get the standing committee to deal with it. Standing committees operate on their own. Leave it with the standing committee, and let us see what happens.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5315330\" data-originallang=\"en\">I have been a parliamentarian for a good number of years, over 25 years or somewhere around there. At the end of the day, I have the deepest amount of respect for the fine work civil servants do. The Conservatives will argue today that this is an outstanding situation, and that they need to have this civil servant come before them, so they can ask him their politically charged questions. Well, they could make that argument for every public civil servant. On virtually any given day, they could be challenging civil servants to come before a committee of the House. Any opposition could generate why it believes a particular civil servant should be called before a committee of the House. Today, it just happens to be that civil servant.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5315331\" data-originallang=\"en\">If there was any sort of an official opposition that had confidence in the public service, as we do on this side, I do not believe we would be seeing this motion before the House today. If the Conservatives were true to their thoughts and feelings with regard to the importance of international trade, I would have suggested that today would have been a better day spent debating potential trade and other related issues with India. For example, I would like to hear what members across the way think we can do to continue to enhance those trade opportunities. We have so much in common with India, for example, a member of the Commonwealth, democracy, and a free market system. Most importantly, again from my perspective, we have an Indo-Canadian community of over a million people.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5315332\" data-originallang=\"en\">There are so many possibilities, and the sky is virtually unlimited in terms of how we can continue to build those bridges between Canada and India. The relationship today is far better between Canada and India than it was two years ago, and it will continue to get better. I predict now, and make it very clear, that we will continue to see more relationships being built, and more trade opportunities between both great nations.</p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"5315312\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Absolument. .</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5315313\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, ils ne s\u2019en rendent m\u00eame pas compte.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5315314\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Nous avons une communaut\u00e9 indo-canadienne en pleine croissance. C\u2019est une des communaut\u00e9s qui cro\u00eet le plus vite au Canada aujourd\u2019hui. Il suffit de regarder Winnipeg et l\u2019impact que cette communaut\u00e9 y a depuis 10, 20, 30 ans. Aucune autre pratiquement ne la d\u00e9passe. D'ailleurs, dans le Nord de la ville, c\u2019est un des moteurs de l\u2019activit\u00e9 \u00e9conomique que nous voyons de fa\u00e7on tr\u00e8s r\u00e9elle et tangible.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5315315\" data-originallang=\"en\"> La diversit\u00e9 est un des grands atouts de notre pays. Si nous prenons la communaut\u00e9 indo-canadienne en particulier, qui compte plus d\u2019un million de Canadiens d\u2019origine indienne, il devrait aller de soi que tout premier ministre doit faire de l\u2019Inde une priorit\u00e9, comme le fait l\u2019actuel <a data-HoCid=\"214296\" href=\"/politicians/justin-trudeau/\" title=\"Justin Trudeau\">premier ministre</a>.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5315316\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Environ un millier d\u2019entreprises canadiennes ont des liens \u00e9conomiques, sous une forme ou une autre, avec l\u2019Inde aujourd\u2019hui. Ce nombre augmente tous les ans. Des centaines de ces entreprises ont une pr\u00e9sence physique en Inde. Ces personnes aident \u00e0 cr\u00e9er des emplois ici, au Canada, et en Inde.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5315317\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Les conservateurs et leurs amis du NPD, qui n\u2019h\u00e9sitent pas \u00e0 vouloir les aider ces jours-ci, reconnaissent-ils les nombreuses retomb\u00e9es d\u00e9coulant de ce voyage? Ils souhaitent mettre l\u2019accent sur une erreur innocente au lieu de parler des possibilit\u00e9s. S\u2019ils \u00e9taient en phase avec leur \u00e9lectorat, ils se rendraient compte que l\u2019Inde est un pays qui m\u00e9rite l\u2019attention que le gouvernement lui accorde. Si nous continuons \u00e0 entretenir ces relations, nos deux pays en tireront profit. C\u2019\u00e9tait l\u00e0 tout le but de ce voyage. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5315318\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Imaginez des activit\u00e9s suppl\u00e9mentaires entre les deux pays totalisant un milliard de dollars gr\u00e2ce \u00e0 ce voyage, \u00e0 tout le moins en partie comme r\u00e9sultat direct de ce voyage. Cela permettra de cr\u00e9er des milliers d\u2019emplois pour les Canadiens. Les d\u00e9put\u00e9s de l\u2019opposition n\u2019en font pas mention, mais ce n'est pas grave. Ils n'ont pas \u00e0 le faire. Nous ne leur tordons pas le bras. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5315319\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Le d\u00e9bat m\u2019encouragerait davantage si la motion de l\u2019opposition portait sur la mesure dans laquelle il est important que le Canada \u00e9tablisse une relation solide avec l\u2019Inde, peut-\u00eatre m\u00eame en envisageant des moyens d\u2019accro\u00eetre les \u00e9changes entre les deux pays. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5315320\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Un soir, j\u2019assistais \u00e0 un \u00e9v\u00e9nement tenu \u00e0 la Maison du Canada auquel participaient notamment des chefs d\u2019entreprise et des repr\u00e9sentants d\u2019organismes sans but lucratif. J\u2019ai pris part \u00e0 bien des discussions informelles. Le <a data-HoCid=\"214296\" href=\"/politicians/justin-trudeau/\" title=\"Justin Trudeau\">premier ministre</a> a pris la parole devant ce groupe et a parl\u00e9 de l\u2019importance des liens entre l\u2019Inde et le Canada. Non seulement des participants appr\u00e9ciaient ce qu\u2019il avait \u00e0 dire, mais il devait y avoir des dizaines de personnes enregistrant les propos du premier ministre sur leur t\u00e9l\u00e9phone et je soup\u00e7onne que tout cela s\u2019est retrouv\u00e9 sur les m\u00e9dias sociaux. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5315321\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Quand le <a data-HoCid=\"214296\" href=\"/politicians/justin-trudeau/\" title=\"Justin Trudeau\">premier ministre</a> du Canada effectue une visite de cette nature, il est impossible d'acheter une publicit\u00e9 de ce genre en Inde. C\u2019est tout simplement impossible. La grande attention qu\u2019a suscit\u00e9e le voyage du premier ministre canadien en Inde est significative pour le peuple de l\u2019Inde et aussi chez nous, au Canada. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5315322\" data-originallang=\"en\"> De nombreux membres de la communaut\u00e9 indo-canadienne m\u2019ont parl\u00e9 en bien de ce voyage. Je peux compter sur les doigts d\u2019une main, voire sur deux doigts, les critiques qui ont \u00e9t\u00e9 port\u00e9es \u00e0 mon attention \u00e0 ce sujet. J\u2019aurais toutefois besoin de plus de deux mains pour indiquer le nombre de personnes de cette seule communaut\u00e9 qui m\u2019ont fait part de leur appr\u00e9ciation \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e9gard des retomb\u00e9es du voyage. Je comprends et je reconnais \u00e0 quel point ce voyage a \u00e9t\u00e9 important. Le but, c\u2019\u00e9tait de cr\u00e9er des relations. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5315323\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Les n\u00e9o-d\u00e9mocrates parlent des 14 d\u00e9put\u00e9s et des six ministres, je crois, qui se sont rendus en Inde. Je faisais partie de cette d\u00e9l\u00e9gation de d\u00e9put\u00e9s. J\u2019ai pay\u00e9 mon billet pour m\u2019y rendre, mais je peux dire \u00e0 ces d\u00e9put\u00e9s que j\u2019ai savour\u00e9 chaque moment de l\u2019exp\u00e9rience. J\u2019ai eu l\u2019occasion de rencontrer des centaines de personnes. J\u2019ai pu m\u2019entretenir avec des \u00e9tudiants dans des \u00e9coles \u00e9l\u00e9mentaires et secondaires et dans des coll\u00e8ges, et nous avons \u00e9chang\u00e9 des id\u00e9es tout aussi merveilleuses les unes que les autres sur l\u2019importance de continuer \u00e0 b\u00e2tir des ponts. L\u2019exp\u00e9rience a \u00e9t\u00e9 fantastique. J\u2019ai pass\u00e9 la majeure partie du temps dans le Pendjab, un \u00c9tat qui m\u2019a vraiment conquis. J\u2019avais d\u00e9j\u00e0 visit\u00e9 l\u2019endroit. Bon nombre de mes \u00e9lecteurs s\u00e9journent dans cette r\u00e9gion en janvier et f\u00e9vrier et y restent m\u00eame plus longtemps. Ces liens apportent au Canada un avantage strat\u00e9gique par rapport \u00e0 d'autres pays. Nous devrions favoriser et encourager ces liens chaque fois que nous le pouvons. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5315324\" data-originallang=\"en\">Examinons certains des avantages. J'ai parl\u00e9 d'un milliard de dollars, ce qui est beaucoup. Sur une base annuelle, et si l'on n'attribue cette somme qu'aux emplois r\u00e9mun\u00e9r\u00e9s au salaire minimum au Canada, on parle d'environ 40 000 emplois. Un milliard de dollars, c'est beaucoup d'argent. Mais il y a plus important que ce milliard de dollars, soit le volume actuel des \u00e9changes commerciaux entre le Canada et l'Inde qui, si je ne m'abuse, repr\u00e9sentent un peu plus de 8 milliards de dollars. Au cours des quelque 12 derniers mois, ces \u00e9changes ont consid\u00e9rablement augment\u00e9. \u00c0 mon avis, si les d\u00e9put\u00e9s de l'opposition ouvraient les yeux et s'effor\u00e7aient de mieux comprendre le potentiel que comporte une am\u00e9lioration des relations entre le Canada et l'Inde, ils s'apercevraient que ce chiffre pourrait augmenter de fa\u00e7on spectaculaire. Du moins je le crois. Il devrait augmenter pour la bonne raison que le gouvernement en place \u00e0 Ottawa applique une d\u00e9marche tr\u00e8s proactive en mati\u00e8re de commerce international et s'int\u00e9resse beaucoup \u00e0 ce qui se passe en Inde.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5315325\" data-originallang=\"en\"> J'ai \u00e9t\u00e9 stup\u00e9fait. Comme je l'ai dit, j'ai pass\u00e9 la plupart de mon temps au Pendjab. Quand le <a data-HoCid=\"214296\" href=\"/politicians/justin-trudeau/\" title=\"Justin Trudeau\">premier ministre</a> est venu au Temple d'or, il y avait des banni\u00e8res et des milliers de personnes qui voulaient le voir. C'est vraiment encourageant, et nous devrions en \u00eatre fiers, peu importe de quel c\u00f4t\u00e9 de la Chambre nous si\u00e9geons, parce que nous ne pouvons pas acheter ce genre de relations publiques et de publicit\u00e9 en Inde. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5315326\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je n'avais aucune id\u00e9e de ce que les m\u00e9dias internationaux rapportaient ici, mais en Inde, le <a data-HoCid=\"214296\" href=\"/politicians/justin-trudeau/\" title=\"Justin Trudeau\">premier ministre</a> a \u00e9t\u00e9 exceptionnellement bien accueilli, d'apr\u00e8s ce que j'ai pu voir. Lors de certains \u00e9v\u00e9nements auxquels j'ai particip\u00e9, dont deux, \u00e0 New Delhi, mais sinon, au Pendjab, il y avait cette reconnaissance en parlant aux gens: \u00ab Oh, oui, le premier ministre du Canada est ici \u00bb.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5315327\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je suis d\u00e9j\u00e0 all\u00e9 en Inde, et je n'ai jamais vu un ancien premier ministre recevoir le genre de reconnaissance que le <a data-HoCid=\"214296\" href=\"/politicians/justin-trudeau/\" title=\"Justin Trudeau\">premier ministre</a> actuel a re\u00e7u en personne lors de sa visite au pays.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5315328\" data-originallang=\"en\">S'agissant de cet \u00e9v\u00e9nement, j'ai soulev\u00e9 cette question au sujet de M. Atwal. Celui-ci a malheureusement re\u00e7u une invitation qui n'aurait pas d\u00fb lui \u00eatre adress\u00e9e, et quand on s'en est rendu compte, l'invitation a \u00e9t\u00e9 retir\u00e9e. Cela veut dire que la personne a \u00e9t\u00e9 \u00ab d\u00e9sinvit\u00e9e \u00bb et elle ne s'est d'ailleurs pas pr\u00e9sent\u00e9e au haut-commissariat du Canada. Il arrive que des erreurs soient commises. Le gouvernement a \u00e9t\u00e9 franc dans ce dossier. Mais voil\u00e0 que l'opposition est en train de mener une charge concert\u00e9e sur ce th\u00e8me et qu'elle r\u00e9clame la comparution du fonctionnaire concern\u00e9 devant un comit\u00e9 permanent.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5315329\" data-originallang=\"en\">Quelques pens\u00e9es me viennent spontan\u00e9ment \u00e0 l'esprit. D'abord et avant tout, je crois que nous avons affaire \u00e0 un fonctionnaire professionnel au parcours incroyable, qui agit dans l'int\u00e9r\u00eat sup\u00e9rieur des Canadiens et qui a fait son travail. Or, parce qu'elle veut brasser la cage et provoquer d'autres probl\u00e8mes, l'opposition veut maintenant le voir t\u00e9moigner devant un comit\u00e9. Elle veut politiser le d\u00e9bat. C'est bien ce qu'elle tente de faire. Il existe un comit\u00e9 permanent pour ces questions. Les conservateurs ont d\u00e9j\u00e0 tent\u00e9 d'amener le comit\u00e9 permanent \u00e0 se pencher sur la question. Les comit\u00e9s permanents fonctionnent de fa\u00e7on autonome. Laissons cela au comit\u00e9 permanent, et voyons ce que cela donnera.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5315330\" data-originallang=\"en\">J'exerce le m\u00e9tier de parlementaire depuis au moins 25 ans, ou dans ces eaux-l\u00e0. Or, on dira ce qu'on en voudra, j'ai le plus grand respect pour le travail des fonctionnaires. Les conservateurs feront valoir qu'il s'agit d'une situation exceptionnelle et que ce fonctionnaire-l\u00e0 doit compara\u00eetre devant eux, mais c'est pour le bombarder de questions \u00e0 tr\u00e8s forte charge politique. \u00c0 vrai dire, ils pourraient en dire autant de n'importe quel autre fonctionnaire. Tous les jours ou presque, ils pourraient trouver un certain nombre de fonctionnaires qu'ils voudraient voir compara\u00eetre devant tel ou tel comit\u00e9. Quel que soit le parti qui la forme, l'opposition peut toujours trouver des raisons de justifier la comparution d'un fonctionnaire devant un comit\u00e9 de la Chambre. Aujourd'hui, les circonstances font que c'est celui-l\u00e0.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5315331\" data-originallang=\"en\">Si l'opposition officielle faisait le moindrement confiance \u00e0 la fonction publique, ou si elle lui faisait autant confiance que nous, jamais la Chambre ne serait saisie d'une motion pareille. Si les conservateurs accordaient toute l'importance qu'ils disent accorder au commerce international, il me semble qu'ils auraient mieux fait de consacrer la journ\u00e9e d'aujourd'hui \u00e0 d\u00e9battre des d\u00e9bouch\u00e9s commerciaux qu'offre l'Inde et des autres questions qui marquent les relations entre nos deux pays. J'aimerais par exemple conna\u00eetre le point de vue des d\u00e9put\u00e9s d'en face sur la meilleure fa\u00e7on de tirer parti de ces d\u00e9bouch\u00e9s. Nous avons tellement de choses en commun avec l'Inde: nos deux pays sont membres du Commonwealth, ce sont deux d\u00e9mocraties et on y pratique le libre march\u00e9 dans les deux cas. C'est sans parler de ce qui constitue peut-\u00eatre le point le plus important, du moins \u00e0 mes yeux, \u00e0 savoir que plus d'un million de personnes d'origine indienne vivent au Canada.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5315332\" data-originallang=\"en\">Les possibilit\u00e9s sont infinies, et on ne compte plus les mani\u00e8res dont nous pouvons continuer \u00e0 jeter des ponts entre le Canada et l'Inde. Les relations entre nos deux pays sont nettement meilleures qu'il y a deux ans, et elles continueront de s'am\u00e9liorer. Je pr\u00e9vois m\u00eame \u2014 et les d\u00e9put\u00e9s peuvent me prendre au mot s'ils le veulent \u2014 que nos relations s'intensifieront, notamment sur le plan commercial.</p>"
