        "en": "<p data-HoCid=\"7855130\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for his excellent speech.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7855131\" data-originallang=\"fr\">He focused on one important point, which is that it is a great privilege to be here in the House. We should act accordingly and with dignity. We should always seek the common good and strive for balance and consensus as much as possible.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7855132\" data-originallang=\"fr\">This evening, we are watching the Liberal government use its fake majority to make permanent something that was obtained through consensus. This profoundly debases that decision. That is what is so shocking.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7855133\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Now we are debating the possibility of being with our family, but we know full well that in a non-hybrid Parliament, it is possible to ask for permission. We know that every member of the House is open to compromise. The problem is that there is no discussion.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7855134\" data-originallang=\"fr\">The difference between a decision by consensus and a decision by vote is that, with a consensus, no one is dissatisfied. I would like my colleague to comment on that.</p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"7855130\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Madame la Pr\u00e9sidente, je remercie mon coll\u00e8gue de son excellent discours.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7855131\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Il a insist\u00e9 sur un point important: c'est un grand privil\u00e8ge d'\u00eatre ici, \u00e0 la Chambre. On devrait agir en cons\u00e9quence et en toute dignit\u00e9. On devrait constamment agir pour rechercher le bien commun et, le plus possible, pour chercher une conciliation et un consensus.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7855132\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Ce soir, nous voyons le gouvernement lib\u00e9ral utiliser sa fausse majorit\u00e9 pour rendre permanent quelque chose qui avait \u00e9t\u00e9 obtenu par consensus. Cela d\u00e9nature profond\u00e9ment cette d\u00e9cision. C'est ce qui est choquant.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7855133\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Maintenant, on d\u00e9bat de la possibilit\u00e9 d'\u00eatre avec sa famille, mais on sait tr\u00e8s bien qu'il y a des possibilit\u00e9s dans un Parlement non hybride d'obtenir des permissions. On sait tr\u00e8s bien que tous les d\u00e9put\u00e9s de la Chambre sont ouverts \u00e0 des compromis. Le probl\u00e8me, c'est qu'il n'y a pas de discussion.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7855134\" data-originallang=\"fr\">La diff\u00e9rence entre une d\u00e9cision par consensus et une d\u00e9cision par vote, c'est que, dans le consensus, il n'y a pas d'insatisfaits. J'aimerais que mon coll\u00e8gue fasse des commentaires \u00e0 ce sujet. </p>"
