"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"5408182\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Mr. Speaker, I certainly agree with my colleague when she says that it is important to do all the necessary studies. However, we disagree beyond that, because I feel that the only studies the minister seems to listen to are those proposed by the government.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5408183\" data-originallang=\"fr\"> The parliamentary committee and the Senate might as well be working in a vacuum. They spent months studying this issue and hearing witnesses and relevant testimony on all of these matters. They are proposing carefully crafted amendments that pinpoint or illuminate specific factors that the government may have overlooked in its haste.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5408184\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Why is the government refusing outright to approve the two remaining amendments? In this legislative ping-pong match, these are the two amendments the Senate is insisting on passing. Coincidentally, they are also amendments that were proposed by the opposition parties during the committee study.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"5408182\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, de toute \u00e9vidence, je rejoins ma coll\u00e8gue quand elle dit qu'il est important de faire toutes les \u00e9tudes. Toutefois, j'ai une divergence d'opinions avec elle; en effet, les seules \u00e9tudes qui semblent avoir de la port\u00e9e dans l'oreille du ministre sont celles propos\u00e9es par le gouvernement.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5408183\" data-originallang=\"fr\"> C'est comme si le travail fait en comit\u00e9 parlementaire et au S\u00e9nat reposait sur du vide. Pourtant, ces personnes ont aussi pass\u00e9 des mois \u00e0 \u00e9tudier la question, ainsi qu'\u00e0 entendre des t\u00e9moins et des t\u00e9moignages pertinents sur l'ensemble de ces questions. Elles arrivent avec des propositions cisel\u00e9es qui mettent le doigt sur un \u00e9l\u00e9ment ou un \u00e9clairage sur un facteur que le gouvernement a peut-\u00eatre \u00e9chapp\u00e9 dans son empressement.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5408184\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Pourquoi le gouvernement refuse-t-il d'embl\u00e9e les deux amendements qui restent? On se rappelle qu'on est dans une partie de ping-pong et que ce sont les deux amendements sur lesquels le S\u00e9nat insiste. Curieusement, ce sont aussi des amendements propos\u00e9s par les partis de l'opposition au moment de l'\u00e9tude en comit\u00e9.</p>"
