        "en": "<p data-HoCid=\"5346228\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, that is a question between the <a data-HoCid=\"214296\" href=\"/politicians/justin-trudeau/\" title=\"Justin Trudeau\">Prime Minister</a> and the officer of Parliament. The member opposite is free to pursue that. The reality is that the process we have is we cannot pretend there is a problem and then demand an inquiry about this pretend problem, and then demand that there be recommendations about the pretend problem that they perceive as being possibly in existence.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5346229\" data-originallang=\"en\">We know that there was a statement of facts in that report and that the officer of Parliament, who has the ability to provide recommendations or course corrections, commented on what would be a more appropriate way of handling the situation in the future. The <a data-HoCid=\"214296\" href=\"/politicians/justin-trudeau/\" title=\"Justin Trudeau\">Prime Minister</a> has availed himself of that report, has committed to following every single word of that report, whether it is stated as a capital \u201cR\u201d recommendation, or whether it is implied through the referencing inside the report. Every single word of that report has been read and is being followed by the Prime Minister. That is ethical leadership. That is being responsible to the offices of Parliament. That is respecting the House. It is the party opposite that is having trouble dealing with the report. Members think it did not go far enough. That is their problem, and it is partisan issue. It is not a point of principle.</p>",

Le d\u00e9put\u00e9 d'en face est libre d'aller plus loin s'il le souhaite. En fait, le processus en place ne permet pas de pr\u00e9tendre qu'il y a un probl\u00e8me, d'exiger la tenue d'une enqu\u00eate sur le probl\u00e8me pr\u00e9sum\u00e9 et de demander que des recommandations soient formul\u00e9es sur le pr\u00e9tendu probl\u00e8me.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5346229\" data-originallang=\"en\">Nous savons que des faits ont \u00e9t\u00e9 \u00e9nonc\u00e9s dans le rapport et que la mandataire du Parlement, qui peut formuler des recommandations ou proposer des correctifs, a pr\u00e9sent\u00e9 ses observations quant \u00e0 une fa\u00e7on plus appropri\u00e9e de g\u00e9rer ce genre de situation \u00e0 l'avenir. Le <a data-HoCid=\"214296\" href=\"/politicians/justin-trudeau/\" title=\"Justin Trudeau\">premier ministre</a> a tenu compte du rapport. Il s'est engag\u00e9 \u00e0 le respecter \u00e0 la lettre, qu'il s'agisse d'une recommandation formelle ou simplement d'une suggestion indirecte. Le premier ministre a lu le rapport du d\u00e9but \u00e0 la fin et le respecte int\u00e9gralement. Voil\u00e0 qui est faire preuve de leadership \u00e9thique et de responsabilit\u00e9 envers les mandataires du Parlement. Voil\u00e0 ce qu'est respecter la Chambre. C'est le parti d'en face qui a de la difficult\u00e9 \u00e0 accepter le rapport. Les conservateurs croient qu'il ne va pas assez loin. C'est leur probl\u00e8me et c'est une question partisane. Il ne s'agit pas d'une question de principe. </p>"
