"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"7855142\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madam Speaker, I talked about that in my speech. I said that I am actually personally open to exceptions, such as babies being born, illness, death, etc. However, my point is the accountability aspect. That is what bothers me. It is about ministers of the Crown and parliamentary secretaries being here, being present and being able to be held to account, because they are the ones who have that privilege of being in government. The job for all the rest of us as members of Parliament, even the backbenchers in the Liberal caucus, is to make sure all aspects for Canadians are being represented.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"7855142\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madame la Pr\u00e9sidente, j'en ai parl\u00e9 dans mon discours. J'ai dit que, personnellement, j'\u00e9tais ouvert aux exceptions, comme la naissance de b\u00e9b\u00e9s, des maladies et des d\u00e9c\u00e8s. Cependant, l'aspect qui me d\u00e9range, c'est la reddition de comptes. Les ministres et les secr\u00e9taires parlementaires doivent \u00eatre pr\u00e9sents ici, dans cette enceinte, pour qu'on puisse leur demander des comptes, car ce sont eux qui ont le privil\u00e8ge de faire partie du gouvernement. Le travail de tous les autres d\u00e9put\u00e9s, y compris les d\u00e9put\u00e9s d'arri\u00e8re-ban du caucus lib\u00e9ral, est de veiller \u00e0 ce que tous les aspects de la vie des Canadiens soient repr\u00e9sent\u00e9s.</p>"
