"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"7759843\" data-originallang=\"en\"> <em>Uqaqtittiji</em>, in my short political life, I have experienced two events where I felt that our democracy was under threat. The first time was the \u201cfreedom convoy\u201d last winter and the second time was when there was a breach of privilege found. Both times, it has been frustrating to see such a lack of seriousness that the government has taken in responding to both of these events.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7759844\" data-originallang=\"en\">I wonder if the member could share with the House what signals that sends to the international community and how that puts Canada's democracy at risk.</p>",

La premi\u00e8re fois, c'\u00e9tait lors du \u00ab convoi pour la libert\u00e9 \u00bb l'hiver dernier et la deuxi\u00e8me, lorsque la pr\u00e9sidence a jug\u00e9 qu'il y avait mati\u00e8re \u00e0 question de privil\u00e8ge. Les deux fois, j'ai \u00e9t\u00e9 frustr\u00e9e de voir le manque de s\u00e9rieux avec lequel le gouvernement a r\u00e9agi \u00e0 ces situations.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7759844\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je me demande si le d\u00e9put\u00e9 pourrait dire \u00e0 la Chambre ce que comprendra la communaut\u00e9 internationale et quel danger cela repr\u00e9sente pour la d\u00e9mocratie canadienne. </p>"
