"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"7359240\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Madam Speaker, I thank the member for Beloeil\u2014Chambly for proposing this topic for debate in the House today. However, what he is suggesting is just half a proposal, merely seeking to abolish our constitutional monarchy. Does he have any alternatives to propose?</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7359241\" data-originallang=\"fr\">We currently have a head of state, who is the monarch. We have a head of government, who is the Prime Minister. Does the Bloc Qu\u00e9b\u00e9cois believe that the Prime Minister should be promoted and also serve as head of state?</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7359242\" data-originallang=\"fr\">The vast majority of Canadians have no problem with our existing constitutional monarchy. Things are totally different in Europe. In France, the system recognizes an elected president as head of state. In the United States, the head of state and the head of government are the same man, and I say \u201cman\u201d because, unfortunately, this has always been the case.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7359243\" data-originallang=\"fr\">What does the Bloc Qu\u00e9b\u00e9cois propose?</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"7359240\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Madame la Pr\u00e9sidente, je remercie le d\u00e9put\u00e9 de Beloeil\u2014Chambly de sa proposition de d\u00e9bat \u00e0 la Chambre aujourd'hui. Cependant, il propose ici une moiti\u00e9 de proposition, se bornant \u00e0 vouloir \u00e9liminer notre syst\u00e8me de monarchie constitutionnelle. Quelle solution de rechange propose-t-il?</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7359241\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Nous avons actuellement un chef d'\u00c9tat, qui est le monarque. Nous avons un chef du gouvernement, qui est le premier ministre. Le Bloc qu\u00e9b\u00e9cois est-il d'avis d'\u00e9lever le premier ministre pour qu'il occupe aussi le r\u00f4le de chef d'\u00c9tat?</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7359242\" data-originallang=\"fr\">La monarchie constitutionnelle actuelle ne pose pas de probl\u00e8me pour la grande majorit\u00e9 des Canadiens. En Europe, les choses sont tout \u00e0 fait diff\u00e9rentes. En France, le syst\u00e8me reconna\u00eet comme chef d'\u00c9tat un pr\u00e9sident, \u00e9lu. Aux \u00c9tats\u2011Unis, le chef de l'\u00c9tat et le chef du gouvernement sont le m\u00eame homme, et je dis bien \u00ab homme \u00bb, car cela a malheureusement toujours \u00e9t\u00e9 le cas.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7359243\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Quelle est la proposition du Bloc qu\u00e9b\u00e9cois?</p>"
