"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"8009776\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Mr. Speaker, I see that the NDP has once again decided to support a government gag order. I find this odd because, in general, the role of the opposition parties is to challenge the government. Their role is to try and determine whether the government is doing a good job, to ask questions, to try to improve things.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8009777\" data-originallang=\"fr\">We get the impression that the NDP is just rubber-stamping everything that the Liberals come up with. I question the usefulness of having a party like that in the House of Commons, if it votes in favour of everything the government tables.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8009778\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Is there any critical thinking happening at all on the NDP side, or are the New Democrats completely blinded by a fear of ending up in an election or holding the Liberals to account?</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"8009776\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, je constate que le NPD d\u00e9cide encore une fois d'appuyer un b\u00e2illon du gouvernement. Je trouve cela particulier parce que, en g\u00e9n\u00e9ral, le r\u00f4le des partis de l'opposition est de mettre le gouvernement au d\u00e9fi. Leur r\u00f4le est d'essayer de voir s'il fait du bon travail, de poser des questions, d'essayer d'am\u00e9liorer les choses.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8009777\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Nous avons l'impression que, dans le cas du NPD, on ne fait qu\u2019approuver tout ce que les lib\u00e9raux pr\u00e9sentent. Je m'interroge sur l'utilit\u00e9 d'avoir un parti comme celui-l\u00e0, \u00e0 la Chambre des communes, s'il vote en faveur de tout ce qui est d\u00e9pos\u00e9 par le gouvernement.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8009778\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Reste-t-il encore un peu de sens critique du c\u00f4t\u00e9 du NPD ou est-ce que les n\u00e9o-d\u00e9mocrates sont compl\u00e8tement aveugl\u00e9s par la peur de se retrouver en campagne \u00e9lectorale ou de demander des comptes aux lib\u00e9raux?</p>"
