"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"5442726\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, I have to say it is nearly unbelievable that we have had three time allocations in one day today.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5442727\" data-originallang=\"en\"> In this debate period, we do not usually speak to the merits of the legislation. In Bill <a data-HoCid=\"9745407\" href=\"/bills/42-1/C-75/\" title=\"An Act to amend the Criminal Code, the Youth Criminal Justice Act and other Acts and to make consequential amendments to other Acts\">C-75</a> there is much that is important with respect to reforms. For instance, I am pleased to see it is getting rid of peremptory challenges to jurors. That was clearly a big issue in the Colten Boushie case. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5442728\" data-originallang=\"en\">However, we stand here today to ask the government why time allocation is being used time and time again. It is anti-democratic. There is no way around it. The minister can say that this bill is so important that it deserves full debate in committee\u2014it deserves full debate in the House. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5442729\" data-originallang=\"en\">I ask the hon. minister if she can please explain why this bill is now an emergency that requires that we shorten the opportunities for those of us particularly in smaller parties to have a chance to debate this bill.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"5442726\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, il est vraiment difficile de croire que trois motions d'attribution de temps ont \u00e9t\u00e9 pr\u00e9sent\u00e9es aujourd'hui.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5442727\" data-originallang=\"en\">\u00c0 ce moment-ci du d\u00e9bat, nous ne parlons g\u00e9n\u00e9ralement pas du bien-fond\u00e9 du projet de loi en question. Le projet de loi <a data-HoCid=\"9745407\" href=\"/bills/42-1/C-75/\" title=\"An Act to amend the Criminal Code, the Youth Criminal Justice Act and other Acts and to make consequential amendments to other Acts\">C-75</a> pr\u00e9voit beaucoup de r\u00e9formes importantes. Je suis notamment ravie qu'il propose d'abolir les r\u00e9cusations p\u00e9remptoires des jur\u00e9s, un \u00e9l\u00e9ment qui a pos\u00e9 d'importants probl\u00e8mes dans l'affaire Colten Boushie. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5442728\" data-originallang=\"en\">Cela dit, nous intervenons \u00e0 la Chambre aujourd'hui pour demander au gouvernement pourquoi il a si souvent recours \u00e0 l'attribution de temps. Cette pratique va \u00e0 l'encontre de la d\u00e9mocratie, tout simplement. La ministre a beau dire qu'il s'agit d'un projet de loi tr\u00e8s important, qui m\u00e9rite d'\u00eatre d\u00e9battu en profondeur au comit\u00e9, il n'en demeure pas moins qu'il m\u00e9riterait un d\u00e9bat exhaustif \u00e0 la Chambre.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5442729\" data-originallang=\"en\">La ministre pourrait-elle expliquer pourquoi cette mesure l\u00e9gislative doit maintenant \u00eatre trait\u00e9e d'urgence, d'une fa\u00e7on qui r\u00e9duit les possibilit\u00e9s de d\u00e9bat, particuli\u00e8rement pour les membres des petits partis?</p>"
