"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"7199763\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madam Speaker, as somebody who spent almost 20 years teaching in academia, I can tell members that the last thing we need to be fighting for is more white males in power. In fact, I would argue that we did not get the best and the brightest because all of the focus and prestige was given to white males in power.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7199764\" data-originallang=\"en\">I would say that we are at a time in history when we need diversity. We certainly need gender parity, and I would ask this: Why is the Bloc fighting so fiercely to keep white males in positions of power, to the exclusion of others?</p>",

En fait, j\u2019estime que nous n\u2019avons pas su recruter les personnes les plus talentueuses pr\u00e9cis\u00e9ment parce que toute l\u2019attention \u00e9tait accord\u00e9e aux m\u00e2les blancs.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7199764\" data-originallang=\"en\">Nous sommes \u00e0 une p\u00e9riode de l\u2019histoire o\u00f9 nous avons besoin de diversit\u00e9.
