"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"5766994\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, we should be focusing on what we are accomplishing with the introduction of Bill <a data-HoCid=\"10293463\" href=\"/bills/42-1/C-91/\" title=\"An Act respecting Indigenous languages\">C-91</a>.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5766995\" data-originallang=\"en\">As I pointed out, it is historic legislation. Indigenous leaders from all regions of our country, as well as non-indigenous people, recognize the critical importance of a language heritage. The Truth and Reconciliation Commission came up with a call to action, and this legislation deals with three of the calls that I am aware of. I see this as a positive.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5766996\" data-originallang=\"en\">I would not want to take anything away from the value or significance of this legislation. I do believe that at the end of the day, for the residents of Winnipeg North and beyond, this Parliament as a whole can come together to recognize the value of this legislation and allow it to go committee. We can then hear from the different stakeholders who want to voice their thoughts, expressing concerns they might have or how they would support the legislation or would suggest ways we can improve upon it.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5766997\" data-originallang=\"en\">This is a good piece of legislation. It has been a long time coming. I look forward to it ultimately going to committee so that we can get it that much closer to receiving royal assent.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"5766994\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, nous devrions nous concentrer sur ce que nous accomplissons gr\u00e2ce au projet de loi <a data-HoCid=\"10293463\" href=\"/bills/42-1/C-91/\" title=\"An Act respecting Indigenous languages\">C-91</a>.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5766995\" data-originallang=\"en\">Comme je l\u2019ai dit, il s\u2019agit d\u2019un projet de loi historique. Les dirigeants autochtones de toutes les r\u00e9gions du pays, de m\u00eame que des non-Autochtones, reconnaissent l\u2019importance cruciale du patrimoine linguistique. La Commission de v\u00e9rit\u00e9 et r\u00e9conciliation a lanc\u00e9 des appels \u00e0 l\u2019action et ce projet de loi donne suite \u00e0 trois d\u2019entre eux. Pour moi, c\u2019est positif.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5766996\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je ne voudrais rien enlever \u00e0 la valeur ou \u00e0 l\u2019importance de cette mesure l\u00e9gislative. En fin de compte, les r\u00e9sidents de Winnipeg-Nord et d\u2019ailleurs comprendront, je pense, que le Parlement se r\u00e9unit au grand complet pour reconna\u00eetre la valeur de ce projet de loi et autoriser son renvoi au comit\u00e9. Nous pourrons ensuite entendre les intervenants qui le souhaitent exprimer leurs pr\u00e9occupations, nous indiquer comment ils appuieraient le projet de loi ou nous proposer des fa\u00e7ons de l\u2019am\u00e9liorer.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5766997\" data-originallang=\"en\">Il s\u2019agit d\u2019un bon projet de loi que nous attendons depuis longtemps. J\u2019ai h\u00e2te qu\u2019il soit renvoy\u00e9 au comit\u00e9 et se rapproche de l\u2019\u00e9tape de la sanction royale.</p>"
