        "en": "<p data-HoCid=\"5899639\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Mr. Speaker, I am sincerely grateful to my colleague from <a data-HoCid=\"214181\" href=\"/politicians/martin-shields/\" title=\"Martin Shields\">Bow River</a> for his speech and his contributions to the Standing Committee on Canadian Heritage, particularly in the case of this study. Unlike me, he has a direct connection to these people and their reality. He has often spoken on behalf of communities affected by this bill.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5899640\" data-originallang=\"fr\">I second what he said about the importance of this bill. I share his disappointment in the Liberals' grand consultation, which was supposed to take care of everything and happened a lot faster than expected.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5899641\" data-originallang=\"fr\">For years, our wonderful Liberal government sat back and did nothing. Now, all of a sudden, right before the election, the government thinks it is time to take meaningful action. Does my colleague not find that despicable? The government says everything is as it should be and wants us all to support the bill.</p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"5899639\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, j'aimerais remercier sinc\u00e8rement mon coll\u00e8gue de <a data-HoCid=\"214181\" href=\"/politicians/martin-shields/\" title=\"Martin Shields\">Bow River</a> de son discours et de sa participation au Comit\u00e9 permanent du patrimoine canadien, particuli\u00e8rement dans le cas de cette \u00e9tude. Contrairement \u00e0 moi, il est en prise directe avec la r\u00e9alit\u00e9 de ces gens. Il s'est souvent fait le porte-voix des communaut\u00e9s touch\u00e9es par ce projet de loi.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5899640\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Je corrobore ce qu'il disait concernant l'importance de ce projet de loi. Je partage la d\u00e9ception qu'il a exprim\u00e9e quant \u00e0 la grande consultation divine des lib\u00e9raux, qui a \u00e9t\u00e9 pas mal plus rapide que pr\u00e9vu.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5899641\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Ne trouve-t-il pas cela odieux que le saint gouvernement lib\u00e9ral se soit crois\u00e9 les bras pendant des ann\u00e9es et que, tout d'un coup, juste avant les \u00e9lections, il dise qu'il faudrait faire quelque chose de significatif? Le gouvernement veut que nous appuyions tous le projet de loi en disant que tout est correct.</p>"
