"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"6820833\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, there is a significant point of rebuttal to the comments that were made by various people with respect to the letter of the law and other laws that are passed by Parliament. My colleague for <a data-HoCid=\"252984\" href=\"/politicians/don-davies/\" title=\"Don Davies\">Vancouver Kingsway</a> has referred to the letter from the law clerk. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6820834\" data-originallang=\"en\">However, the complete rebuttal to the comments made with respect to that is actually found in the ruling of Speaker Milliken of April 27, 2010. It completely sets out the whole case, starting with what was suggested by the government House leader and then going on to explain that how it is done and the methods of doing it are to be determined by the House. All of those arguments were made before the Speaker back in 2010 and were rejected by the Speaker in making his ruling. I would suggest that this is the complete rebuttal to the comments that have been made to suggest that the order of the House, which you ruled to be in order, was in fact improper.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"6820833\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, un argument important permet de r\u00e9futer les commentaires formul\u00e9s par diverses personnes concernant la lettre de la loi et d'autres lois qui ont \u00e9t\u00e9 adopt\u00e9es par le Parlement. Mon coll\u00e8gue de <a data-HoCid=\"252984\" href=\"/politicians/don-davies/\" title=\"Don Davies\">Vancouver Kingsway</a> a mentionn\u00e9 la lettre du l\u00e9giste.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6820834\" data-originallang=\"en\">Toutefois, la r\u00e9futation compl\u00e8te des commentaires formul\u00e9s \u00e0 ce sujet se trouve en fait dans la d\u00e9cision du Pr\u00e9sident Milliken rendue le 27 avril 2010. La d\u00e9cision traite de l\u2019affaire au complet, \u00e0 commencer par ce qui est propos\u00e9 par le leader du gouvernement \u00e0 la Chambre et comporte des explications sur le fait que la fa\u00e7on dont les choses se font et les m\u00e9thodes utilis\u00e9es doivent \u00eatre d\u00e9cid\u00e9es par la Chambre. Tous ces arguments ont \u00e9t\u00e9 pr\u00e9sent\u00e9s au Pr\u00e9sident en 2010 et ils ont \u00e9t\u00e9 rejet\u00e9s dans la d\u00e9cision qu\u2019il a rendue. \u00c0 mon sens, c\u2019est la r\u00e9futation compl\u00e8te des commentaires qui ont \u00e9t\u00e9 formul\u00e9s voulant que l\u2019ordre de la Chambre, que vous avez jug\u00e9 recevable, \u00e9tait en fait inappropri\u00e9.</p>"
