"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"7858145\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, given the question that was just asked and the comments associated with it, and, likewise, what the <a data-HoCid=\"278909\" href=\"/politicians/karina-gould/\" title=\"Karina Gould\">minister</a> asked before, I expect they will be supporting the amendment put forward by the <a data-HoCid=\"291267\" href=\"/politicians/andrew-scheer/\" title=\"Andrew Scheer\">opposition House leader</a>. What that does, pure and simple, is ensure that Parliament continues to look at this and its impacts on our ability to do our work in this place. Never once have the Conservatives said that we should not endeavour to increase inclusion, that accommodations should not be made. To suggest that is blatantly untrue.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7858146\" data-originallang=\"en\">What we need to do, however, is ensure that we maintain and treat carefully, with the utmost respect, the democratic infrastructure we have. Let us treat this place, this House of Commons, however one participates in it, with the utmost respect to ensure that we are ultimately respecting Canadians. That needs to be our focus. That needs to be our emphasis. We need to be focused on ensuring that Canadians can be represented in this place.</p>",

Cet amendement garantit purement et simplement que le Parlement continue d'examiner cette question et ses r\u00e9percussions sur notre capacit\u00e9 \u00e0 faire notre travail \u00e0 la Chambre. Les conservateurs n'ont jamais dit que nous ne devions pas nous efforcer d'accro\u00eetre l'inclusion et qu'il ne fallait pas trouver des accommodements. Une telle affirmation est compl\u00e8tement fausse.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7858146\" data-originallang=\"en\">Cependant, nous devons veiller \u00e0 maintenir notre infrastructure d\u00e9mocratique et \u00e0 la traiter avec soin et avec le plus grand respect. Peu importe notre r\u00f4le dans cette institution, traitons la Chambre des communes avec le plus grand respect afin de garantir que nous respectons ultimement les Canadiens. Cela doit \u00eatre notre priorit\u00e9. C'est sur ce point que nous devons mettre l'accent. Nous devons veiller \u00e0 ce que les Canadiens puissent \u00eatre repr\u00e9sent\u00e9s \u00e0 la Chambre.</p>"
