"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"6426700\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madam Speaker, to the latter point by the hon. member, we have seen that a lot of the legislation introduced in this place really has had that power consolidated through the executive branch of government. I look to some of the environmental bills that we have dealt with in the past, such as Bill <a data-HoCid=\"8936657\" href=\"/bills/42-1/C-48/\" title=\"An Act respecting the regulation of vessels that transport crude oil or persistent oil to or from ports or marine installations located along British Columbia's north coast\">C-48</a> and Bill <a data-HoCid=\"9630600\" href=\"/bills/42-1/C-69/\" title=\"An Act to enact the Impact Assessment Act and the Canadian Energy Regulator Act, to amend the Navigation Protection Act and to make consequential amendments to other Acts\">C-69</a>, for example, where the minister has the ultimate say. The power is not distributed among Parliament or even within the government, but within the executive branch. I am not surprised by that assertion, quite frankly, given the history of this government.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6426701\" data-originallang=\"en\">Secondly, the example in P.E.I. speaks to the insatiable appetite that people have for news, not just national or international news, but local news as well. It is not surprising to me when people push back as they did in P.E.I. They are seeking the truth as well.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"6426700\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madame la Pr\u00e9sidente, \u00e0 propos du dernier point soulev\u00e9 par le d\u00e9put\u00e9, beaucoup de mesures l\u00e9gislatives pr\u00e9sent\u00e9es au Parlement ont, de fait, consolid\u00e9 le pouvoir de l\u2019ex\u00e9cutif. Je songe par exemple \u00e0 des projets de loi sur l\u2019environnement comme les projets de loi <a data-HoCid=\"8936657\" href=\"/bills/42-1/C-48/\" title=\"An Act respecting the regulation of vessels that transport crude oil or persistent oil to or from ports or marine installations located along British Columbia's north coast\">C-48</a> et <a data-HoCid=\"9630600\" href=\"/bills/42-1/C-69/\" title=\"An Act to enact the Impact Assessment Act and the Canadian Energy Regulator Act, to amend the Navigation Protection Act and to make consequential amendments to other Acts\">C-69</a>, en vertu desquels le ministre a le dernier mot. Le pouvoir n\u2019est pas r\u00e9parti entre le Parlement et le gouvernement, ou au sein du gouvernement, mais au sein de l\u2019ex\u00e9cutif. Je n\u2019en suis pas surpris, franchement, \u00e9tant donn\u00e9 l\u2019histoire de ce gouvernement.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6426701\" data-originallang=\"en\">Ensuite, l\u2019exemple de l\u2019\u00cele-du-Prince-\u00c9douard montre l\u2019app\u00e9tit insatiable de la population pour des nouvelles, pas seulement nationales ou internationales, mais aussi locales. Je ne suis pas surpris que les citoyens se rebiffent comme ils l\u2019ont fait \u00e0 l\u2019\u00cele-du-Prince-\u00c9douard. Eux aussi recherchent la v\u00e9rit\u00e9.</p>"
