I have never seen a man suffer more from, or be more beleaguered by, the very notion of democracy. How it vexes him, how angry and frustrated it makes him, that the majority of the House of Commons could actually make a decision that disagrees with the Liberals, as if it is such a terrible thing. I wonder if we could have boxes of tissue sent across the nation to comfort him as he whines, because I would like to say this.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6582301\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Here we are in a discussion about House procedures, and the Liberals are shutting it down. With respect to foreign affairs, they are shutting down an investigation into how the Liberals took the COVAX vaccine from the third world. They shut down discussion on a Uighur genocide motion. They have been using their position to stop an investigation into sexual assault allegations in the military. Of course, they have interrupted the ethics committee time and again.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6582302\" data-originallang=\"en\">I would like to ask my hon. colleague this question: Why do the Liberals not stop playing games and let the majority of the House actually do the work for the Canadian people?</p>",

Je n\u2019ai jamais vu un homme souffrir autant ou \u00eatre plus tourment\u00e9 par la notion m\u00eame de d\u00e9mocratie. Comme il est contrari\u00e9, f\u00e2ch\u00e9 et frustr\u00e9 que la majorit\u00e9 \u00e0 la Chambre des communes puisse en fait prendre une d\u00e9cision que les lib\u00e9raux n\u2019approuvent pas, comme s\u2019il s\u2019agissait de quelque chose de terrible. Je me demande si nous pourrions lui envoyer des bo\u00eetes de mouchoirs pour le consoler pendant qu\u2019il se lamente parce que j\u2019aimerais dire ceci.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6582301\" data-originallang=\"en\">Nous d\u00e9battons des proc\u00e9dures de la Chambre et les lib\u00e9raux cherchent \u00e0 nous en emp\u00eacher. En ce qui concerne les affaires \u00e9trang\u00e8res, ils emp\u00eachent une enqu\u00eate sur leurs man\u0153uvres pour r\u00e9cup\u00e9rer des vaccins du programme COVAX destin\u00e9s au tiers monde. Ils nous ont emp\u00each\u00e9s de d\u00e9battre d\u2019une motion sur le g\u00e9nocide ou\u00efghour. Ils utilisent leur position pour arr\u00eater une enqu\u00eate sur des all\u00e9gations d\u2019agression sexuelle dans l\u2019arm\u00e9e. \u00c9videmment, ils ont interrompu maintes fois le comit\u00e9 de l\u2019\u00e9thique.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6582302\" data-originallang=\"en\">J\u2019aimerais poser la question suivante au d\u00e9put\u00e9: pourquoi les lib\u00e9raux n\u2019arr\u00eatent-ils pas leurs petits jeux et ne laissent-ils pas la majorit\u00e9 \u00e0 la Chambre faire son travail au nom des Canadiens?</p>"
