"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"5473658\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for his question. I could not agree more.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5473659\" data-originallang=\"fr\">This is just more smoke and mirrors, more grandstanding. They say Canada is going to accede to the Arms Trade Treaty, but they are taking on only a tiny part and ignoring large chunks of it. Similarly, the government claims to be feminist, yet it sells arms to Saudi Arabia. The government claims to be concerned about climate change, yet it buys old pipelines with plans to expand them. We have a government that talks about tax fairness, yet it signs new deals that actually facilitate tax evasion and gives special privileges, like \u201cget out of jail free\u201d cards in Monopoly, to the biggest tax evaders.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5473660\" data-originallang=\"fr\">I agree, this is so typical of this government. I find it interesting, because these are important issues that really matter to all the parties. We realize that, and we hear the same old tune. Once again, the government spews all kinds of lofty rhetoric, but without any real action, and what little action it does take flies in the face of what it says.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"5473658\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, je remercie mon coll\u00e8gue de sa question. Je suis tout \u00e0 fait d'accord avec lui.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5473659\" data-originallang=\"fr\">C'est encore de la poudre aux yeux, du spectacle. On dit qu'on va acc\u00e9der au Trait\u00e9 sur le commerce des armes, mais on fait juste un petit bout et on laisse de c\u00f4t\u00e9 des grands morceaux. C'est la m\u00eame chose: on a un gouvernement f\u00e9ministe, mais qui vend des armes \u00e0 l'Arabie saoudite. On a un gouvernement pr\u00e9occup\u00e9 par les changements climatiques, mais qui ach\u00e8te des vieux pipelines en esp\u00e9rant les agrandir. On a un gouvernement qui parle d'\u00e9quit\u00e9 fiscale, mais qui signe de nouvelles ententes pour faciliter l'\u00e9vasion fiscale et qui donne des privil\u00e8ges, comme les cartes de sortie de prison au Monopoly, aux plus grands pratiquants de l'\u00e9vasion fiscale . </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5473660\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Oui, c'est vraiment typique du gouvernement. Je pense que c'est assez int\u00e9ressant puisque ce sont des enjeux qui nous tiennent \u00e0 coeur, tous partis confondus. Nous nous en rendons compte et c'est le m\u00eame refrain: encore une fois, le gouvernement fait plein de beaux discours, mais il n'y a pas d'action, sinon peu d'actions qui sont souvent contraires aux paroles.</p>"
