"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"5346217\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank my hon. friend for his passionate speech about this issue. I know my other hon. friend, the hon. member for <a data-HoCid=\"213953\" href=\"/politicians/mark-gerretsen/\" title=\"Mark Gerretsen\">Kingston and the Islands</a>, was quite excited to hear about John A. Macdonald during that speech, and that there should be more discussion of our former prime minister.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5346218\" data-originallang=\"en\">That being said, the hon. member rose on a point with respect to a pattern of behaviour. I had the opportunity to be at the public safety committee yesterday, where I witnessed again the members of the opposition question and undermine the motivation of a long-standing civil servant. It is a shameful activity and this pattern continues. This pattern is seen in this motion, which is telling an officer of Parliament how to do his or her job. I wonder if the hon. member could comment on this pattern of behaviour, what we are seeing, and how the Conservatives opposite are engaging in this debate.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"5346217\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, j\u2019aimerais remercier mon coll\u00e8gue et ami pour son discours enflamm\u00e9 au sujet de cette question. Je sais que mon autre ami, le d\u00e9put\u00e9 de <a data-HoCid=\"213953\" href=\"/politicians/mark-gerretsen/\" title=\"Mark Gerretsen\">Kingston et les \u00celes</a>, a \u00e9t\u00e9 ravi d\u2019entendre parler de John A. Macdonald pendant ce discours, et qu\u2019il aimerait qu\u2019il soit plus souvent question de notre ancien premier ministre.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5346218\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Ceci dit, le d\u00e9put\u00e9 est intervenu sur une question concernant un comportement qui se r\u00e9p\u00e8te. J\u2019ai eu la chance de si\u00e9ger hier au comit\u00e9 de la s\u00e9curit\u00e9 publique, o\u00f9 j\u2019ai \u00e9t\u00e9 t\u00e9moin encore une fois des tentatives des d\u00e9put\u00e9s de l\u2019opposition de remettre en question et d\u2019\u00e9branler la motivation d\u2019un fonctionnaire de longue date. Il s\u2019agit d\u2019un comportement r\u00e9pr\u00e9hensible, mais qui continue de se r\u00e9p\u00e9ter. Ce genre de comportement teinte aussi cette motion qui vise \u00e0 dire \u00e0 un mandataire du Parlement comment il doit faire son travail. Je me demande si le d\u00e9put\u00e9 peut commenter ce genre de comportement, ainsi que la situation dont nous sommes t\u00e9moins et la fa\u00e7on dont les conservateurs, en face, participent \u00e0 ce d\u00e9bat.</p>"
