        "en": "<p data-HoCid=\"5408227\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for his speech.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5408228\" data-originallang=\"fr\">I cannot help but agree with him about the Liberals' lack of consistency. He mentioned several times in his speech that they are always saying how urgent it is to take action while at the same time creating obstacles and holding up the bill every step of the way to make sure the process takes longer. Obviously, the government is being inconsistent.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5408229\" data-originallang=\"fr\">I wanted to ask a question about the two small amendments that we talked about this morning. Only those amendments, along with the adoption of the motion I moved earlier, could have ensured that the bill went directly for royal assent, rather than continuing to be stuck in the back and forth between the Senate and the House.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5408230\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Does my colleague believe that one of the two Senate amendments sought to establish a balance of power between farmers and our two major railways when it comes to the negotiation of contracts on the delivery price for grain or other products? Let's be honest, although these railways are a duopoly, they basically have a monopoly.</p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"5408227\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, je remercie mon coll\u00e8gue de son discours. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5408228\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Je ne peux qu'\u00eatre d'accord avec lui quand il observe \u00e0 maintes reprises dans son discours l'incoh\u00e9rence dont font preuve les lib\u00e9raux en nous parlant constamment d'urgence d'agir et en mettant des barri\u00e8res ou des b\u00e2tons dans les roues \u00e0 chaque \u00e9tape du projet de loi pour faire en sorte que les d\u00e9lais s'allongent. De toute \u00e9vidence, il y a l\u00e0 incoh\u00e9rence. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5408229\" data-originallang=\"fr\">La question que je voulais poser porte sur les deux petits amendements dont il \u00e9tait question ce matin. Les seuls qui auraient pu faire en sorte, avec l'adoption de ma motion un peu plus t\u00f4t, que le projet de loi se retrouve directement \u00e0 la sanction royale, plut\u00f4t qu'encore dans ce passage de va-et-vient entre le S\u00e9nat et la Chambre. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5408230\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Mon coll\u00e8gue ne croit-il pas que l'un des deux amendements propos\u00e9s par le S\u00e9nat avait justement pour but de permettre un \u00e9quilibre des forces lorsque vient le temps de n\u00e9gociations contractuelles sur le prix de la livraison pour les producteurs de grains ou autres marchandises, avec l'une ou l'autre de nos deux compagnies ferroviaires majeures qui, disons-le, peuvent agir presque en situation de monopole, bien qu'il s'agisse d'un duopole? </p>"
