        "en": "<p data-HoCid=\"5429200\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, I look at this legislation as giving strength to Canada's democracy. I believe a majority of Canadians want to see this. It includes more accessibility for the disabled. It looks at the potential impacts of spending on advertising, putting in some restrictions. It even deals with some third-party issues. All in all, the legislation will give more strength to our democratic system.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5429201\" data-originallang=\"en\">Could my colleague reflect on what her constituents would say about this very important legislation?</p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"5429200\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, la mesure l\u00e9gislative propos\u00e9e permettrait de renforcer la d\u00e9mocratie au Canada, un but qu'appuient une majorit\u00e9 de Canadiens, selon moi. Ses dispositions visent, entre autres, \u00e0 accro\u00eetre l'accessibilit\u00e9 \u00e0 l'intention des personnes handicap\u00e9es, \u00e0 imposer certaines restrictions concernant les d\u00e9penses de publicit\u00e9, \u00e9tant donn\u00e9 leurs r\u00e9percussions, ainsi qu'\u00e0 r\u00e9gler quelques enjeux concernant des tierces parties. Bref, l'ensemble de cette mesure viendra renforcer le syst\u00e8me d\u00e9mocratique du Canada.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5429201\" data-originallang=\"en\">Ma coll\u00e8gue pourrait-elle nous dire ce que ses concitoyens pensent de ce projet de loi crucial?</p>"
