"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"7706477\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madam Speaker, of course, that is not what the member is talking about here. The member is talking about going procedurally against the wishes of the mover of a piece of legislation that has wide support in the Senate and that has broad support in the Conservative caucus as well. If she wanted to fix it 14 years ago, that particular member has had ample time to propose a private member's bill to address those issues or to convince the government, which she belongs to and is in the same caucus basically as a coalition, to do so. She could have done that at any time in the last decade-plus.</p>",

Elle parle d'aller \u00e0 l'encontre, sur le plan de la proc\u00e9dure, de la volont\u00e9 de la marraine d'un projet de loi qui jouit d'un vaste appui au S\u00e9nat ainsi qu'au sein du caucus conservateur. Si la d\u00e9put\u00e9e voulait corriger le projet de loi il y a 14 ans, elle a eu amplement le temps de pr\u00e9senter un projet de loi d'initiative parlementaire pour r\u00e9soudre ces probl\u00e8mes ou de convaincre le gouvernement de le faire, \u00e9tant donn\u00e9 qu'elle fait essentiellement partie du m\u00eame caucus en tant que membre de la coalition. Elle aurait pu le faire \u00e0 tout moment au cours de la derni\u00e8re d\u00e9cennie et m\u00eame avant.</p>"
