We certainly support the concurrence motion today, condemning the violence and the repression we are seeing in Iran.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7659226\" data-originallang=\"en\">Last week, as members recall, we had the motion that the NDP brought forward on a public inquiry on foreign interference. At the committee level, at the procedure and House affairs committee, members of the Conservative Party sought to take out references that would have included Russia, Iran and India, foreign interference writ large as part of the public inquiry. At the time, Conservatives did not feel it was important to actually have foreign interference include Iran. Today, they are bringing forward a concurrence motion on an important issue. However, they seem to be on two sides of the same fence in the course of one week.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7659227\" data-originallang=\"en\">I just want to ask the member to clarify the position of the Conservative Party.</p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"7659225\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madame la Pr\u00e9sidente, je ne nie pas qu\u2019il s\u2019agisse d\u2019un d\u00e9bat important. Je suis simplement un peu inquiet en ce qui a trait \u00e0 la coh\u00e9rence du Parti conservateur. Nous appuyons certainement la motion d\u2019adoption d\u2019aujourd\u2019hui, qui condamne la violence et la r\u00e9pression dont nous sommes t\u00e9moins en Iran.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7659226\" data-originallang=\"en\">La semaine derni\u00e8re, comme les d\u00e9put\u00e9s s\u2019en souviennent, le NPD nous a pr\u00e9sent\u00e9 une motion au sujet d\u2019une enqu\u00eate publique sur l\u2019ing\u00e9rence \u00e9trang\u00e8re. Les membres conservateurs du Comit\u00e9 de la proc\u00e9dure et des affaires de la Chambre ont cherch\u00e9 \u00e0 faire retirer de la motion les noms de la Russie, l\u2019Iran et l\u2019Inde, pour que l'enqu\u00eate publique porte sur l\u2019ing\u00e9rence \u00e9trang\u00e8re en g\u00e9n\u00e9ral. Les conservateurs ne consid\u00e9raient pas comme important d\u2019inclure l\u2019Iran dans le dossier de l'ing\u00e9rence \u00e9trang\u00e8re. Aujourd\u2019hui, les conservateurs pr\u00e9sentent une motion d\u2019adoption sur une question importante et ils ont l'air d'adopter une position diam\u00e9tralement oppos\u00e9e \u00e0 celle qu'il privil\u00e9giait la semaine derni\u00e8re.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7659227\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je voudrais simplement demander au d\u00e9put\u00e9 de pr\u00e9ciser la position du Parti conservateur.</p>"
