        "en": "<p data-HoCid=\"5442635\" data-originallang=\"en\">Let me get this straight, Mr. Speaker. If I understand this correctly, the rep from the PMO needed to run up behind the Liberal members to tell them how to vote on every vote when they were voting in favour of every single one. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5442636\" data-originallang=\"en\">That is the problem with the discussion and the discourse that is going on in here. The member for <a data-HoCid=\"214072\" href=\"/politicians/ed-fast/\" title=\"Ed Fast\">Abbotsford</a> is making an assertion, and the very least he could do is at least say \u201cin my opinion\u201d, but he does not even do that. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5442637\" data-originallang=\"en\">It was no different from when the House leader spoke before I did and said that the <a data-HoCid=\"214296\" href=\"/politicians/justin-trudeau/\" title=\"Justin Trudeau\">Prime Minister</a> himself directed the members of the status of women committee to not vote in a particular chair. How on earth does she know for a fact that is what happened? At the very least, why would she not at least say \u201cin my opinion\u201d? </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5442638\" data-originallang=\"en\">To that end, I was on committee with that member. We had the opportunity to collaborate. The member should know that I, of all people on that committee, was willing to say at certain times, \u201cI disagree with my members. I agree with what the member for <a data-HoCid=\"214072\" href=\"/politicians/ed-fast/\" title=\"Ed Fast\">Abbotsford</a> said.\u201d The member knows that I did that.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5442639\" data-originallang=\"en\">For him to ask me that question is extremely rich.</p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"5442635\" data-originallang=\"en\">Donc, monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, si je comprends bien, le repr\u00e9sentant du Bureau du premier ministre aurait d\u00fb se pr\u00e9cipiter derri\u00e8re les d\u00e9put\u00e9s lib\u00e9raux pour leur dire comment voter \u00e0 chaque vote alors qu'ils votaient en faveur de chacune des motions, c'est bien cela?</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5442636\" data-originallang=\"en\">Voil\u00e0 le probl\u00e8me avec le discours qu'on est en train de tenir ici. Le d\u00e9put\u00e9 d'<a data-HoCid=\"214072\" href=\"/politicians/ed-fast/\" title=\"Ed Fast\">Abbotsford</a> fait une affirmation, et le moins qu'il pourrait faire, c'est d'ajouter \u00ab \u00e0 mon avis \u00bb, mais il ne le fait m\u00eame pas. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5442637\" data-originallang=\"en\">Ce n'\u00e9tait pas diff\u00e9rent de l'intervention de la leader \u00e0 la Chambre avant la mienne. Elle a dit que le <a data-HoCid=\"214296\" href=\"/politicians/justin-trudeau/\" title=\"Justin Trudeau\">premier ministre</a> lui-m\u00eame avait ordonn\u00e9 aux membres du comit\u00e9 de la condition f\u00e9minine de ne pas voter dans un fauteuil en particulier. Comment diable sait-elle que c'est ce qui s'est pass\u00e9? Elle pourrait au moins dire \u00ab \u00e0 mon avis \u00bb, non?</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5442638\" data-originallang=\"en\"> En fait, j'ai si\u00e9g\u00e9 au comit\u00e9 avec le d\u00e9put\u00e9. Nous avons eu l'occasion de collaborer. Le d\u00e9put\u00e9 devrait savoir que, s'il y a bien un membre de ce comit\u00e9 qui \u00e9tait pr\u00eat \u00e0 dire \u00e0 certains moments: \u00ab Je ne suis pas d'accord avec mes coll\u00e8gues; je suis d'accord avec ce que le d\u00e9put\u00e9 d'<a data-HoCid=\"214072\" href=\"/politicians/ed-fast/\" title=\"Ed Fast\">Abbotsford</a> a dit \u00bb, c'\u00e9tait moi. Le d\u00e9put\u00e9 sait que c'est ce que j'ai fait.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5442639\" data-originallang=\"en\">Il a vraiment du culot de me poser une telle question.</p>"
