"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"8091161\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madam Speaker, the procedure to deal with this is the procedure when there is a prima facie case. We brought the issue up in the chamber, the Speaker had to make a ruling and we waited for the ruling. The Speaker found a prima facie case, which then invoked the moving of a motion. The Conservative <a data-HoCid=\"291267\" href=\"/politicians/andrew-scheer/\" title=\"Andrew Scheer\">House leader</a> moved that motion, which is what we are debating right now. I am not sure what the member does not understand about the process. We are following the process as it is laid out, and we will see what happens should this motion get passed on to the procedure and House affairs committee. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8091162\" data-originallang=\"en\">I would like to thank her party, which has been clear in what it stands for. We in the Conservative Party want a fair and objective Speaker. We believe in this country, in this institution and that the person sitting in the Speaker's chair\u2014</p>",

Le Pr\u00e9sident a conclu que, de prime abord, la question \u00e9tait fond\u00e9e, ce qui a amen\u00e9 le <a data-HoCid=\"291267\" href=\"/politicians/andrew-scheer/\" title=\"Andrew Scheer\">leader parlementaire</a> du Parti conservateur \u00e0 proposer une motion qui fait l'objet de notre d\u00e9bat actuel. Je ne suis pas certain de bien saisir ce que la d\u00e9put\u00e9e ne comprend pas au sujet du processus. Nous suivons le processus tel qu'il a \u00e9t\u00e9 \u00e9tabli et nous verrons quelle sera la suite des choses si la motion est adopt\u00e9e et l'affaire est renvoy\u00e9e au comit\u00e9 de la proc\u00e9dure et des affaires de la Chambre. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8091162\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je tiens \u00e0 remercier son parti, qui a exprim\u00e9 clairement sa position.
