        "en": "<p data-HoCid=\"7858561\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, on the first point, this certainly is not about me trying to get control or seize power. We are using this system right now, and this system will be here for the foreseeable future. The member says that I am conflating electronic voting with the use of Zoom. I am talking about the two of them. I have made it very clear which I am talking about. If the Bloc's position is it supports the app but does not support Zoom, I have yet to hear that in this House. I have yet to hear the Bloc suggest anything otherwise, and it could be that I did not hear that part of the debate so far, but that is the reality.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7858562\" data-originallang=\"en\">When it comes to the interpretation services, I agree, and this goes back to my answer to the member for <a data-HoCid=\"278442\" href=\"/politicians/garnett-genuis/\" title=\"Garnett Genuis\">Sherwood Park\u2014Fort Saskatchewan</a>, that we should not spare any expense in ensuring that the right resources are in place to provide the right supports, not just to our interpreters, but to all the support staff we have here.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7858563\" data-originallang=\"en\">If that means investing more in their well-being and providing more resources, then we should do that. I do not think it should be an impediment to the democratic process we have set up in this place, so that we can bring more people from diverse backgrounds, and in particular more women, into this chamber.</p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"7858561\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, sur le premier point, il ne s'agit vraiment pas pour moi de prendre le contr\u00f4le ou de m'approprier le pouvoir. Nous utilisons actuellement ce syst\u00e8me, et il sera l\u00e0 dans un avenir pr\u00e9visible. Le d\u00e9put\u00e9 affirme que je confonds le vote \u00e9lectronique et l'utilisation de Zoom. Je parle des deux. J'ai \u00e9t\u00e9 tr\u00e8s clair quant l'objet de mon propos. Si la position du Bloc est d'\u00eatre pour l'application, mais pas Zoom, je ne l'ai pas encore entendue dans cette enceinte. Je n'ai pas encore entendu le Bloc dire quoi que ce soit en ce sens, et ce pourrait \u00eatre parce que je n'ai pas entendu cette partie du d\u00e9bat jusqu'\u00e0 maintenant, mais c'est ainsi.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7858562\" data-originallang=\"en\">Pour ce qui est des services d'interpr\u00e9tation, je suis d'accord, et je renvoie le d\u00e9put\u00e9 \u00e0 ma r\u00e9ponse au d\u00e9put\u00e9 de <a data-HoCid=\"278442\" href=\"/politicians/garnett-genuis/\" title=\"Garnett Genuis\">Sherwood Park\u2014Fort Saskatchewan</a>. Nous devrions d\u00e9penser autant que n\u00e9cessaire pour veiller \u00e0 ce que les bonnes ressources soient disponibles pour outiller ad\u00e9quatement pas seulement \u00e0 nos interpr\u00e8tes, mais \u00e0 tout le personnel de soutien qui travaille \u00e0 la Chambre des communes.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7858563\" data-originallang=\"en\">Si cela veut dire consacrer plus d'argent \u00e0 leur mieux-\u00eatre et fournir plus de ressources, alors nous devrions le faire. Je ne crois pas que ce devrait \u00eatre un obstacle au processus d\u00e9mocratique que nous avons mis en place ici, afin de pouvoir inclure plus de gens d'horizons divers, en particulier plus de femmes, \u00e0 la Chambre.</p>"
