"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"8048765\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madam Speaker, when it comes to promoting our democracy, the competition law has been around since the sixties, maybe even since 1911. We have not changed the Competition Act much since 1986. When it comes to looking at and debating competition, which is probably one of the top concerns, affordability for Canadians, we should be taking all the time we can in the House and in committee to ensure it is done right.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8048766\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Paragraph (b) in the programming motion gives more power to the minister, which is not right. When we look at an arm's length institution, the Competition Bureau, which is supposed to act impartial from the government or free of political interference, the bill right now gives more power to the minister to have the power to interfere, and that is not right.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8048767\" data-originallang=\"en\">When it comes to start ups, Canada has 100,000 fewer entrepreneurs compared to 20 years ago. When we look at trying to ensure there is more competition in Canada and more entrance, we need more start-ups. We need to start starting.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"8048765\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madame la Pr\u00e9sidente, parlons de favoriser la d\u00e9mocratie. Les dispositions juridiques sur la concurrence existent depuis les ann\u00e9es 1960, voire depuis 1911. Or, nous avons peu modifi\u00e9 la Loi sur la concurrence depuis 1986. Lorsqu'il s'agit d'examiner et de d\u00e9battre la concurrence, qui influe \u00e9norm\u00e9ment sur l'abordabilit\u00e9, probablement l'une des principales pr\u00e9occupations des Canadiens, nous devrions prendre tout le temps n\u00e9cessaire \u00e0 la Chambre et au sein du comit\u00e9 pour bien faire les choses.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8048766\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Le point c)(i)(B) de la motion d'organisation des d\u00e9lib\u00e9rations conf\u00e8re un pouvoir accru au ministre, ce qui est inacceptable. Le Bureau de la concurrence est un organisme ind\u00e9pendant qui est cens\u00e9 \u00eatre impartial et libre de toute ing\u00e9rence politique. Or, la motion \u00e0 l'\u00e9tude habiliterait le ministre \u00e0 s'ing\u00e9rer dans ses activit\u00e9s, ce qui est inacceptable.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8048767\" data-originallang=\"en\">En ce qui concerne les d\u00e9marrages d'entreprise, le Canada compte 100 000 entrepreneurs de moins qu'il y a 20 ans. Si nous voulons favoriser la concurrence au Canada et accro\u00eetre l'acc\u00e8s au march\u00e9, nous devons augmenter le nombre de d\u00e9marrages d'entreprise. Il faut multiplier les d\u00e9marrages.</p>"
