        "en": "<p data-HoCid=\"7113465\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madam Speaker, when the member was speaking earlier, he was talking about the desire of the Conservatives to continue to discuss this bill. He expressed his displeasure with the fact that a new motion that was introduced and passed last night gave the ability to give it even further discussion and debate in the House over the next few months. If I heard him correctly, he referred to that as being undemocratic or as somehow an abuse of powers, or the opportunity to debate, in this place. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7113466\" data-originallang=\"en\">I wonder if he can explain that to me. The motion we passed last night was to extend the ability of members to speak in the House and gives more members the opportunity to speak so that when another motion or bill comes forward and over 50 Conservatives want to speak to it, such as with Bill <a data-HoCid=\"11496808\" href=\"/bills/44-1/C-8/\" title=\"An Act to implement certain provisions of the economic and fiscal update tabled in Parliament on December 14, 2021 and other measures\">C-8</a> at report stage, they would have an opportunity to speak to that. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7113467\" data-originallang=\"en\">How can he phrase that motion in such a way?</p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"7113465\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madame la Pr\u00e9sidente, lorsque le d\u00e9put\u00e9 est intervenu plus t\u00f4t, il a parl\u00e9 du d\u00e9sir des conservateurs de continuer \u00e0 d\u00e9battre de ce projet de loi. Il a exprim\u00e9 son m\u00e9contentement \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e9gard du fait qu\u2019une nouvelle motion qui a \u00e9t\u00e9 pr\u00e9sent\u00e9e et adopt\u00e9e hier soir donne la possibilit\u00e9 d\u2019en discuter et d\u2019en d\u00e9battre encore davantage \u00e0 la Chambre au cours des prochains mois. Si je l\u2019ai bien entendu, il a qualifi\u00e9 cela d\u2019antid\u00e9mocratique, ou d\u2019abus de pouvoir ou de la possibilit\u00e9 de d\u00e9battre dans cette enceinte. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7113466\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je me demande s\u2019il peut m\u2019expliquer cela. La motion que nous avons adopt\u00e9e hier soir visait \u00e0 augmenter la capacit\u00e9 des d\u00e9put\u00e9s \u00e0 prendre la parole \u00e0 la Chambre et \u00e0 donner \u00e0 un plus grand nombre d\u2019entre eux la possibilit\u00e9 de le faire, de sorte que, lorsqu\u2019une autre motion ou un autre projet de loi sera pr\u00e9sent\u00e9 et que plus de 50 conservateurs voudront s\u2019exprimer \u00e0 son sujet, comme dans le cas du projet de loi <a data-HoCid=\"11496808\" href=\"/bills/44-1/C-8/\" title=\"An Act to implement certain provisions of the economic and fiscal update tabled in Parliament on December 14, 2021 and other measures\">C\u20118</a> \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e9tape du rapport, ils auront la possibilit\u00e9 de le faire. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7113467\" data-originallang=\"en\">Comment peut-il formuler cette motion de cette fa\u00e7on?</p>"
