        "en": "<p data-HoCid=\"6351194\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madam Speaker, as I believe it is the first time I am responding to my colleague opposite, I would like to congratulate her on her new critic role for international trade.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6351195\" data-originallang=\"en\">Let me be very clear. The government is not saying that it is refusing to make a decision regarding Huawei now or 30 days from now. It is saying that the world is changing at an extremely rapid rate. We cannot predict where we will be in 29 days from now. Putting an arbitrary 30-day limit on this important decision does not make any sense. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6351196\" data-originallang=\"en\">We will see what will be included in the realm of possibilities on our framework between now and the end of the year. It is possible that this decision will be included, but it is possible that the world will change 100 different ways between now and then. I do not think it is in anyone's interest, not in any Canadian's national interest, to put an arbitrary deadline of 30 days on this decision.</p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"6351194\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madame la Pr\u00e9sidente, je crois qu\u2019il s\u2019agit de la premi\u00e8re fois que je r\u00e9ponds \u00e0 une question de ma coll\u00e8gue d\u2019en face et j\u2019aimerais la f\u00e9liciter pour son nouveau r\u00f4le de porte-parole en mati\u00e8re de commerce international.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6351195\" data-originallang=\"en\">Maintenant, soyons bien clairs. Le gouvernement ne dit pas qu\u2019il refuse de prendre une d\u00e9cision par rapport \u00e0 Huawei, que ce soit maintenant ou dans 30 jours. Il affirme que le monde change \u00e0 une vitesse effr\u00e9n\u00e9e. Nous ne pouvons pas pr\u00e9dire o\u00f9 nous en serons dans 29 jours. \u00c9tablir une limite arbitraire de 30 jours pour une d\u00e9cision si importante ne fait aucun sens.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6351196\" data-originallang=\"en\">Nous verrons d\u2019ici la fin de l\u2019ann\u00e9e ce qui sera du domaine du possible dans notre cadre. Cette d\u00e9cision pourrait \u00eatre incluse, mais il est possible que le monde change de mille et une fa\u00e7ons d\u2019ici l\u00e0. Je ne crois pas qu\u2019il soit dans l\u2019int\u00e9r\u00eat de qui que ce soit, dans l\u2019int\u00e9r\u00eat national de tout Canadien, d\u2019imposer une \u00e9ch\u00e9ance arbitraire de 30 jours \u00e0 cette d\u00e9cision.</p>"
