It is always interesting to work with her.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7782107\" data-originallang=\"fr\">I am pleased that the members of the Bloc Qu\u00e9b\u00e9cois now think that this is common sense, but it took some time before they understood that. We need to understand where this bill came from. In one video, we can see the member for <a data-HoCid=\"278276\" href=\"/politicians/rheal-fortin/\" title=\"Rh\u00e9al Fortin\">Rivi\u00e8re-du-Nord</a> saying, \u201cWow! If we had to write a firearms bill, this is how we would have written it\u201d. That was for the first iteration of the bill. There were amendments after that.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7782108\" data-originallang=\"fr\">I thank my colleague for having accepted the Conservative Party's recommendations and criticisms, which were in the best interests of hunters and sport shooters. We are very pleased about that, and we are taking the credit. I thank the Bloc Qu\u00e9b\u00e9cois for supporting the Conservative Party because we are standing up for rural communities.</p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"7782106\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Madame la Pr\u00e9sidente, je remercie ma coll\u00e8gue de Beauport\u2014C\u00f4te-de-Beaupr\u00e9\u2014\u00cele d'Orl\u00e9ans\u2014Charlevoix de sa question. C'est toujours int\u00e9ressant de collaborer avec elle.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7782107\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Effectivement, je suis content que le Bloc qu\u00e9b\u00e9cois constate que c'est du gros bon sens, mais cela a pris du temps avant qu'il le comprenne. Il faut comprendre d'o\u00f9 vient ce projet de loi. Dans une vid\u00e9o, on peut voir le d\u00e9put\u00e9 de <a data-HoCid=\"278276\" href=\"/politicians/rheal-fortin/\" title=\"Rh\u00e9al Fortin\">Rivi\u00e8re-du-Nord</a>dire wow! si on avait eu \u00e0 \u00e9crire un projet de loi concernant les armes \u00e0 feu, c'est comme cela qu'on l'aurait \u00e9crit. C'\u00e9tait lors du premier projet de loi. Il y a eu des amendements par la suite.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7782108\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Je remercie ma coll\u00e8gue d'avoir accept\u00e9 les recommandations et les critiques du Parti conservateur du Canada. C'\u00e9tait dans l'int\u00e9r\u00eat des chasseurs et des tireurs sportifs. Nous en sommes tr\u00e8s heureux et nous en prenons le cr\u00e9dit. Je remercie le Bloc qu\u00e9b\u00e9cois de nous suivre au Parti conservateur, parce que, nous, nous d\u00e9fendons les communaut\u00e9s rurales.</p>"
