"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"6938479\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, it never ceases to amaze me, no matter what we do on COVID, when it comes to the Conservatives, if it is something that the Liberals are putting forward, they are against it. They were against the measures to help businesses. They were against the measures to help individuals. They were against the mandates. They were against doing anything related to COVID whatsoever. Now, all of a sudden, it is like they found a new religion when it comes to the rapid tests, but it is not a new religion. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6938480\" data-originallang=\"en\">When I travelled back to my riding the last time from here, I had to get a box of rapid tests at the airport. For five days in a row I was doing tests. Nobody tracked it, but it enabled me to know that it was safe for me to be out in the community after those five days of testing. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6938481\" data-originallang=\"en\">I would ask the member this: What does he have against the measures that we have taken to help people through this pandemic?</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"6938479\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, je suis toujours stup\u00e9fi\u00e9 de constater que les conservateurs s'opposent \u00e0 toutes les mesures prises par les lib\u00e9raux \u00e0 l'\u00e9gard de la COVID. Ils se sont oppos\u00e9s \u00e0 la fois aux mesures visant \u00e0 aider les entreprises et \u00e0 celles visant \u00e0 aider les particuliers. Ils se sont oppos\u00e9s aux exigences vaccinales. Ils ne voulaient rien faire au sujet de la COVID. Or, soudainement, ils agissent comme si les tests de d\u00e9pistage rapide sont une nouvelle religion, mais ils ne le sont pas.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6938480\" data-originallang=\"en\">En fait, la derni\u00e8re fois que j'ai quitt\u00e9 Ottawa pour retourner dans ma circonscription, j'ai d\u00fb me procurer une bo\u00eete de ces tests \u00e0 l'a\u00e9roport. Pendant cinq jours cons\u00e9cutifs, je me suis test\u00e9. Personne n'a effectu\u00e9 de suivi. N\u00e9anmoins, les r\u00e9sultats de ces tests m'ont inform\u00e9 que je pouvais circuler dans la collectivit\u00e9 en toute s\u00e9curit\u00e9.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6938481\" data-originallang=\"en\">Ma question pour le d\u00e9put\u00e9 est la suivante: pourquoi s'oppose\u2011t\u2011il aux mesures que nous avons prises pour aider les gens depuis le d\u00e9but de la pand\u00e9mie?</p>"
