"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"6359203\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madam Speaker, this is not something that will surprise anyone who knows me in this place. I know that we accomplish our very best when we are able to set partisanship aside. When we are together in a common cause, the Parliament of Canada represents the best of Canada. When we allow ourselves to devolve into sucker punch ideas that go over really well in question period, that is when Canadians are disappointed in us.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6359204\" data-originallang=\"en\">If we can see ourselves, first and foremost, as parliamentarians and somewhere down the list as politicians, we will make Canadians proud of us. The words of our current Speaker, when he accepted the election as Speaker, were that we should conduct ourselves in ways that would make our children proud if they happened to tune in. Today is one of those days.</p>",

Lorsque nous nous rallions tous \u00e0 une cause commune, le Parlement du Canada repr\u00e9sente le meilleur du Canada. Lorsque les \u00e9changes de coups bas deviennent monnaie courante \u00e0 la p\u00e9riode des questions, cela d\u00e9\u00e7oit les Canadiens.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6359204\" data-originallang=\"en\">Si nous nous consid\u00e9rions d'abord et avant tout comme des parlementaires et r\u00e9primions le politicien en nous, les Canadiens seraient fiers de nous. Lorsqu'il a \u00e9t\u00e9 \u00e9lu au fauteuil, le Pr\u00e9sident nous a invit\u00e9s \u00e0 nous comporter d'une mani\u00e8re dont nos enfants, s'ils s'adonnaient \u00e0 nous regarder, seraient fiers. Aujourd'hui est un bel exemple de ce dont nous sommes capables.</p>"
