As parliamentarians, we have to uphold the rule of law everyday as we pass laws and legislation, etc. As a parliamentarian, what does the rule of law mean to my hon. colleague? Does it mean sending in the army or upholding the Constitution and the rights under the Constitution?</p>",

En tant que parlementaires, nous avons le devoir de d\u00e9fendre constamment la primaut\u00e9 du droit lorsque nous adoptons des projets de loi. Que signifie-t-elle pour mon coll\u00e8gue le d\u00e9put\u00e9? D\u00e9fendre ce principe veut-il dire qu'il faut envoyer l'arm\u00e9e ou respecter la Constitution et les droits qui y sont inscrits?</p>"
