"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"8009658\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, I like the question. I wish I could answer it. I do not know, honestly, because Conservatives agreed to the legislation and the amendments. They support them, yet they do not want to vote.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8009659\" data-originallang=\"en\">I am glad Canadians are watching. They must be wondering at home why the Conservatives agree but do not want to vote. What is the logic of that? The only thing I can find is that they want to obstruct the work of Parliament. They want to delay everything. They will not even allow Bill <a data-HoCid=\"12569206\" href=\"/bills/44-1/C-56/\" title=\"An Act to amend the Excise Tax Act and the Competition Act\">C-56</a> to pass, which we talked about before, to make sure we reform competition. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8009660\" data-originallang=\"en\">They say that Canada should work at the speed of business, and look at them this morning. What about the speed of business? What about voting on something they want? Find the logic in that. Folks watching at home are wondering why Conservatives agree but do not want to vote for it. It is very tough for me to understand that. I am sure my kids, who are watching at home, would ask how that is possible. That is the real question we are asking. Why do they not do what is right for Canadians? They supported the amendments. They support the bill. We had 44 witnesses. We had 20 hours of debate in the House, 11 meetings at the INDU committee and 20 hours of witnesses.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8009661\" data-originallang=\"en\">As I said, there is a time for debate, but there is also a time for action. The time for action is now.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"8009658\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, j\u2019aime bien la question. J\u2019aimerais avoir la r\u00e9ponse. Honn\u00eatement, je ne le sais pas, car les conservateurs appuient le projet de loi et les amendements propos\u00e9s. Les conservateurs sont d\u2019accord, mais ils ne veulent pas proc\u00e9der au vote.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8009659\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je suis heureux que les Canadiens nous regardent. Ils doivent se demander pourquoi les conservateurs ne veulent pas voter alors qu\u2019ils appuient les mesures propos\u00e9es. Quelle est la logique dans tout cela? La seule raison qui me vient \u00e0 l'esprit, c\u2019est qu\u2019ils veulent faire obstruction aux travaux du Parlement. Les conservateurs veulent retarder tous nos travaux. Par exemple, comme nous l\u2019avons mentionn\u00e9 pr\u00e9c\u00e9demment, ils s\u2019opposent \u00e0 l\u2019adoption du projet de loi <a data-HoCid=\"12569206\" href=\"/bills/44-1/C-56/\" title=\"An Act to amend the Excise Tax Act and the Competition Act\">C\u201156</a> qui apporterait des r\u00e9formes en mati\u00e8re de concurrence.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8009660\" data-originallang=\"en\">Ils disent que le Canada devrait fonctionner au m\u00eame rythme que les entreprises et voyez ce qu'ils font ce matin. Qu'en est-il du rythme des entreprises? Pourquoi les conservateurs refusent-ils de voter sur une mesure qui fait consensus? O\u00f9 est la logique l\u00e0-dedans? Les gens qui suivent le d\u00e9bat \u00e0 la maison se demandent pourquoi ils ne veulent pas proc\u00e9der au vote alors qu'ils appuient les mesures propos\u00e9es. Il est tr\u00e8s difficile pour moi de comprendre cela. Je suis certain que mes enfants, qui suivent le d\u00e9bat, se demandent comment cela est possible. Voil\u00e0 la question que nous posons, en fait. Pourquoi ne veulent-ils pas faire ce qui est dans l'int\u00e9r\u00eat des Canadiens? Ils ont appuy\u00e9 les amendements. Ils appuient le projet de loi. Nous avons entendu 44 t\u00e9moins. Le sujet a \u00e9t\u00e9 d\u00e9battu pendant 20 heures \u00e0 la Chambre. Le comit\u00e9 de l'industrie a tenu 11 r\u00e9unions et entendu 20 heures de t\u00e9moignages. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8009661\" data-originallang=\"en\">Comme je l'ai dit, il y a un temps pour les d\u00e9bats et il y a un temps pour l'action. Le moment est venu de passer \u00e0 l'action.</p>"
