        "en": "<p data-HoCid=\"5321083\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, I share her concern. The New Democratic Party says that this has taken a great deal of time and that it is anxious to get this legislation before Parliament and before Canadians. I have had this conversation with my colleague and friend, the fisheries critic for the New Democratic Party. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5321084\" data-originallang=\"en\">We brought this legislation in at the earliest opportunity, having widely consulted with Canadians. For example, over 170 meetings were held with indigenous groups. We received over 200 submissions. I personally received hundreds of letters. A total of 5438 e-workbooks were completed by Canadians online and submitted to our department. The fisheries and oceans committee had extensive consultations in its review of the changes made to the 2012 Fisheries Act. The committee heard over 50 witnesses and had 188 written briefs submitted. It had over 15 meetings. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5321085\" data-originallang=\"en\">We think it is important for this legislation to be before the standing committee, where members can hear from Canadians and hear from those who have shared with our government so many positive, interesting, and innovative ideas for strengthening this legislation.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5321086\" data-originallang=\"en\"> We look forward to working with all colleagues in the legislative process, both in this House and in the other place. I had the opportunity to share that exact sentiment with a number of senators last week.</p>",

Le Nouveau Parti d\u00e9mocratique affirme qu'il a fallu beaucoup de temps avant la pr\u00e9sentation au Parlement et aux Canadiens de ce projet de loi qu'il attendait avec impatience. J'ai d\u00e9j\u00e0 eu cette conversation avec mon coll\u00e8gue et ami, le porte-parole du NPD en mati\u00e8re de p\u00eaches. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5321084\" data-originallang=\"en\">Nous avons pr\u00e9sent\u00e9 le projet de loi le plus t\u00f4t possible apr\u00e8s avoir men\u00e9 de vastes consultations aupr\u00e8s des Canadiens. En fait, plus de 170 r\u00e9unions ont \u00e9t\u00e9 tenues avec des groupes autochtones. Nous avons re\u00e7u plus de 200 m\u00e9moires. J'ai moi-m\u00eame re\u00e7u des centaines de lettres. En tout, 5 438 cahiers de consultation \u00e9lectroniques ont \u00e9t\u00e9 remplis par des Canadiens en ligne et transmis \u00e0 notre minist\u00e8re. Le comit\u00e9 des p\u00eaches et des oc\u00e9ans a men\u00e9 des consultations exhaustives dans le cadre de son examen des modifications apport\u00e9es \u00e0 Loi sur les p\u00eaches de 2012. Il a entendu une cinquantaine de t\u00e9moins et re\u00e7u 188 m\u00e9moires. Il a tenu plus de 15 r\u00e9unions.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5321085\" data-originallang=\"en\">Nous pensons qu'il est important de renvoyer la mesure l\u00e9gislative au comit\u00e9 permanent, o\u00f9 les d\u00e9put\u00e9s pourront entendre le point de vue des Canadiens et \u00e9couter les personnes qui ont fait part au gouvernement d'un si grand nombre d'id\u00e9es positives, int\u00e9ressantes et novatrices pour renforcer le projet de loi.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5321086\" data-originallang=\"en\">Nous avons h\u00e2te de collaborer avec tous nos coll\u00e8gues dans le cadre du processus l\u00e9gislatif \u00e0 la Chambre et au S\u00e9nat. C'est ce que j'ai aussi dit \u00e0 plusieurs s\u00e9nateurs la semaine derni\u00e8re.</p>"
