I heard what he said. He said it is important that he express his position on this, but let us just analyze this for a second. He spoke for 30 minutes. If all 118 Conservatives spoke for 30 minutes on this, that would put us in the position of having to debate this bill for literally weeks, if not months, just to get it to committee.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7440967\" data-originallang=\"en\">Is the member basically saying that occupying all this time for him to give his speech is more important than the legislation getting adopted? Is that what he is saying? In theory, that is what he is saying. He is saying, \u201cI need to speak to this for 30 minutes.\u201d If we let everybody do that, it literally will not go anywhere.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"7440965\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madame la Pr\u00e9sidente, je voudrais revenir sur les r\u00e9ponses que le d\u00e9put\u00e9 a donn\u00e9es au d\u00e9put\u00e9 de Winnipeg quelques questions auparavant. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7440966\" data-originallang=\"en\">Le d\u00e9put\u00e9 pourrait-il expliquer pourquoi il \u00e9tait aussi important qu'il fasse un discours de 30 minutes sur cet enjeu? J'ai bien compris ce qu'il a dit. Il a dit qu'il \u00e9tait important qu'il exprime son point de vue sur cet enjeu, mais analysons la situation un instant. Il a parl\u00e9 pendant 30 minutes. Si chacun des 118 d\u00e9put\u00e9s conservateurs prenait la parole pendant 30 minutes sur cet enjeu, il faudrait d\u00e9battre du projet de loi \u00e0 l'\u00e9tude pendant litt\u00e9ralement des semaines, voire des mois, simplement pour arriver \u00e0 l'\u00e9tape du comit\u00e9. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7440967\" data-originallang=\"en\">Est-ce que le d\u00e9put\u00e9 voulait dire qu'il \u00e9tait plus important pour lui d'accaparer tout ce temps pour son discours que de faire adopter le projet de loi? Est-ce que c'est ce qu'il voulait dire? Concr\u00e8tement, c'est ce qu'il a dit. Il a dit: \u00ab Il faut que je parle de cet enjeu pendant 30 minutes. \u00bb Si on laissait tout le monde agir de la sorte, on n'arriverait jamais \u00e0 rien. </p>"
