        "en": "<p data-HoCid=\"5834196\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, on the same point of order, and I am not good in the French language, but I agree with the remarks of the member opposite. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5834197\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, I think you have to look at this motion and the source of the motion, which is the member for <a data-HoCid=\"214462\" href=\"/politicians/pierre-poilievre/\" title=\"Pierre Poilievre\">Carleton</a>. As you stated, there are clearly errors in this, just as we heard in the speech earlier from the member for <a data-HoCid=\"214462\" href=\"/politicians/pierre-poilievre/\" title=\"Pierre Poilievre\">Carleton</a>; there were factual errors in many areas of his remarks. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5834198\" data-originallang=\"en\">However, in terms of the motion itself, there is no question. I chair the finance committee. The member for <a data-HoCid=\"214462\" href=\"/politicians/pierre-poilievre/\" title=\"Pierre Poilievre\">Carleton</a> is on that committee. The motion was drafted in great haste, and you will see several motions that are just changing the number of days that the committee would travel. This is coming from a member who represents a party which is constantly blocking travel by the finance committee, and this motion, being written in haste, is all about trying to delay the debate on the budget, which was tabled this week, so that Canadians cannot hear about all the good things that are in that budget for Canadians.</p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"5834196\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, j'interviens au sujet du m\u00eame recours au R\u00e8glement. Mon fran\u00e7ais laisse \u00e0 d\u00e9sirer, mais je suis d'accord avec l'intervention de la d\u00e9put\u00e9e d'en face. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5834197\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, je crois qu'il faut consid\u00e9rer la motion et l'auteur de la motion, le d\u00e9put\u00e9 de <a data-HoCid=\"214462\" href=\"/politicians/pierre-poilievre/\" title=\"Pierre Poilievre\">Carleton</a>. Comme on l'a soulign\u00e9, la motion contient des erreurs flagrantes, tout comme dans l'allocution du d\u00e9put\u00e9 de <a data-HoCid=\"214462\" href=\"/politicians/pierre-poilievre/\" title=\"Pierre Poilievre\">Carleton</a>, laquelle \u00e9tait truff\u00e9e d'erreurs factuelles. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5834198\" data-originallang=\"en\">Toutefois, pour ce qui est de la motion, c'est ind\u00e9niable. Je pr\u00e9side le comit\u00e9 des finances, dont fait partie le d\u00e9put\u00e9 de <a data-HoCid=\"214462\" href=\"/politicians/pierre-poilievre/\" title=\"Pierre Poilievre\">Carleton</a>. La motion a \u00e9t\u00e9 r\u00e9dig\u00e9e pr\u00e9cipitamment. Vous constaterez qu'il y a plusieurs motions o\u00f9 seule la dur\u00e9e du voyage du comit\u00e9 varie. Cela provient d'un d\u00e9put\u00e9 dont le parti ne cesse de s'opposer aux voyages du comit\u00e9 des finances. Cette motion r\u00e9dig\u00e9e \u00e0 la h\u00e2te ne vise qu'\u00e0 retarder le d\u00e9bat sur le budget qui a \u00e9t\u00e9 d\u00e9pos\u00e9 cette semaine et \u00e0 faire en sorte que les Canadiens ne puissent pas prendre connaissance des nombreux \u00e9l\u00e9ments du budget qui leur seront profitables. </p>"
