The Liberals want to talk about COVID-19, let us get the information. The Bloc Qu\u00e9b\u00e9cois, the NDP and our party are united in saying we deserve full access, and the <a data-HoCid=\"253848\" href=\"/politicians/kevin-lamoureux/\" title=\"Kevin Lamoureux\">parliamentary secretary to the government House leader</a> said that is a lot of documents. That is correct; we have spent hundreds of billions of dollars. These are unique times. If there ever has been a need for Parliament, for scrutiny, and to work together and scrutinize, to make sure the government is doing the right thing, this is the time. Now is not the time to shut down Parliament. Now is not the time to filibuster for 20 hours, especially at health committee.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6297990\" data-originallang=\"en\">Let us get to the results. If the government has a counter-proposal to say 15 days is not enough time, there are staff within the federal government who could address these issues. I ask that we let them do their work and let Parliament do our job.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"6297989\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madame la Pr\u00e9sidente, notre \u00e9quipe de direction a effectivement communiqu\u00e9 avec le gouvernement pour lui offrir de collaborer. Les lib\u00e9raux veulent parler de la COVID-19, il nous faut donc les informations. Le Bloc Qu\u00e9b\u00e9cois, le NPD et notre parti s'entendent pour dire que nous m\u00e9ritons un acc\u00e8s complet et le <a data-HoCid=\"253848\" href=\"/politicians/kevin-lamoureux/\" title=\"Kevin Lamoureux\">secr\u00e9taire parlementaire du leader du gouvernement \u00e0 la Chambre</a> a dit qu'il s'agit de beaucoup de documents. C'est exact; nous avons d\u00e9pens\u00e9 des centaines de milliards de dollars. Nous traversons une p\u00e9riode exceptionnelle. L'importance du Parlement, des contr\u00f4les, de la collaboration et de l'examen minutieux des d\u00e9cisions du gouvernement pour s'assurer qu'il fait ce qui s'impose n'a jamais \u00e9t\u00e9 aussi \u00e9vidente. Ce n'est pas le moment de fermer le Parlement. Ce n'est pas le moment de faire de l'obstruction pendant 20 heures, surtout au comit\u00e9 de la sant\u00e9.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6297990\" data-originallang=\"en\">Venons-en aux r\u00e9sultats. Si le gouvernement soutient dans une contre-proposition que 15 jours ne suffisent pas, il y a des fonctionnaires f\u00e9d\u00e9raux qui pourraient r\u00e9gler ces questions. Je lui demande de les laisser faire leur travail et de laisser le Parlement faire le sien.</p>"
