"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"8116379\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, as I have said in the past, it is always a pleasure to be able to rise and address the House.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8116380\" data-originallang=\"en\">Obviously, what is taking place today is no surprise whatsoever. It is interesting that, on Monday, I was standing up and actually being critical of the Conservative Party. It is hard to believe, but I was critical because Conservatives had brought in a concurrence report to talk about Afghanistan and foreign affairs.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8116381\" data-originallang=\"en\">By doing that particular concurrence report, they prevented government legislation from being debated. Interestingly enough, the legislation that they prevented from being debated, which members could have stood up and talked about, was 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>, the affordability legislation. Every word that the Conservative Party has actually said already this afternoon could have been said during that debate.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8116382\" data-originallang=\"en\">That is why I argued back then, as I will today, that the Conservative Party is very much out of touch with the realities of what Canadians are actually facing. They are more concerned about how to cater to the extreme right. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8116383\" data-originallang=\"en\">We hear the term \u201cMAGA Conservatives\u201d. I would suggest that, more and more, it is becoming something that all Canadians should be very much aware of. It is creeping out, coming from the south. It is that Donald Trump, \u201cmake America great again\u201d theme, and the catering to the far-right there that is coming up\u2014</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"8116379\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, comme je l\u2019ai d\u00e9j\u00e0 dit, c\u2019est toujours un plaisir de prendre la parole \u00e0 la Chambre.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8116380\" data-originallang=\"en\">\u00c9videmment, ce qui se passe aujourd\u2019hui n\u2019a rien de surprenant. Il est int\u00e9ressant de noter que, lundi, j\u2019ai critiqu\u00e9 le Parti conservateur. C\u2019est difficile \u00e0 croire, mais j\u2019ai critiqu\u00e9 les conservateurs parce qu\u2019ils avaient pr\u00e9sent\u00e9 une motion d\u2019adoption de rapport pour parler de l\u2019Afghanistan et des affaires \u00e9trang\u00e8res.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8116381\" data-originallang=\"en\">En pr\u00e9sentant cette motion d\u2019adoption, ils ont emp\u00each\u00e9 que la Chambre d\u00e9batte d'une mesure l\u00e9gislative d\u2019initiative minist\u00e9rielle. Il est int\u00e9ressant de noter qu'ils ont ainsi emp\u00each\u00e9 le d\u00e9bat sur le 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-56</a>, Loi sur le logement et l\u2019\u00e9picerie \u00e0 prix abordable, dont les d\u00e9put\u00e9s auraient pu parler. Tout ce que le Parti conservateur a dit cet apr\u00e8s-midi aurait pu \u00eatre dit pendant ce d\u00e9bat manqu\u00e9.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8116382\" data-originallang=\"en\">C\u2019est pourquoi j\u2019ai d\u00e9clar\u00e9 \u00e0 ce moment-l\u00e0, comme je le fais encore aujourd\u2019hui, que le Parti conservateur est compl\u00e8tement d\u00e9connect\u00e9 de la r\u00e9alit\u00e9 \u00e0 laquelle les Canadiens sont confront\u00e9s. Les conservateurs se pr\u00e9occupent davantage de satisfaire l\u2019extr\u00eame droite.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8116383\" data-originallang=\"en\">Nous entendons parler des \u00ab conservateurs du mouvement MAGA \u00bb. Je dirais que c\u2019est un ph\u00e9nom\u00e8ne qui devrait pr\u00e9occuper de plus en plus les Canadiens. Cette mouvance qui vient du Sud est ax\u00e9e sur le slogan de Donald Trump \u00ab Redonner \u00e0 l\u2019Am\u00e9rique sa grandeur \u00bb et le souci de satisfaire l\u2019extr\u00eame droite qui monte\u2026</p>"
