"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"7067824\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Madam Speaker, I will start on a positive note and congratulate my colleague on her French. She has spoken in French a few times in the House, and her French is better than she thinks. She should speak French more often.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7067825\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Now for the negative. If the NDP was truly serious about wanting proportional representation, why did they not include it in their agreement with the Liberal government? That is what I am wondering.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7067826\" data-originallang=\"fr\">It is now essentially one party. Why do they not sit down right now with the <a data-HoCid=\"214296\" href=\"/politicians/justin-trudeau/\" title=\"Justin Trudeau\">Prime Minister</a> and ask him to start over, to make the same promise, the promise he did not keep when he realized it would probably put him at a disadvantage? That benefited one person.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7067827\" data-originallang=\"fr\">I think that the NDP forgot this small but very important element in its negotiations with the Liberal Party. This afternoon, at 4 p.m., when the budget is tabled, it will be obvious who bought whom in the secret agreement between the NDP and the Liberals.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"7067824\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Madame la Pr\u00e9sidente, je vais commencer par du positif et f\u00e9liciter ma coll\u00e8gue pour son fran\u00e7ais. Elle a eu l'occasion de s'exprimer quelques fois en fran\u00e7ais \u00e0 la Chambre et son fran\u00e7ais est meilleur qu'elle ne le pense. Elle devrait l'utiliser davantage.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7067825\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Je passe maintenant au mauvais c\u00f4t\u00e9 de la chose. Si le NPD \u00e9tait vraiment s\u00e9rieux dans son d\u00e9sir d'une repr\u00e9sentation proportionnelle, pourquoi ne pas l'avoir mise dans son entente avec le gouvernement lib\u00e9ral? \u00c0 vrai dire, c'est cette question que je me pose.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7067826\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Dans le fond, il s'agit maintenant du m\u00eame parti. Pourquoi ne s'assoient-ils pas directement avec le <a data-HoCid=\"214296\" href=\"/politicians/justin-trudeau/\" title=\"Justin Trudeau\">premier ministre</a> pour lui demander de recommencer, de refaire la m\u00eame promesse, celle que le premier ministre n'a pas tenue quand il s'est rendu compte que cela allait probablement le d\u00e9savantager? Cela a fait l'affaire d'une personne.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7067827\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Je pense que le NPD a oubli\u00e9 ce petit \u00e9l\u00e9ment tr\u00e8s important dans ses n\u00e9gociations avec le Parti lib\u00e9ral. Cet apr\u00e8s-midi, \u00e0 16 heures, lors du d\u00e9p\u00f4t du budget, nous allons bien voir qui a achet\u00e9 qui dans cette entente secr\u00e8te entre le NPD et les lib\u00e9raux.</p>"
