        "en": "<p data-HoCid=\"7865993\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Madam Speaker, over the past three years, I have had several discussions with the Bloc Qu\u00e9b\u00e9cois. I asked them what changes they were proposing for a hybrid system and for voting. Unfortunately, they made it clear every time that a hybrid system was not acceptable.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7865994\" data-originallang=\"fr\">This is very odd, because the member opposite uses this system every day. I see this as providing an option. With the support of a majority of members, it would be possible to change the rules and, for example, cancel the hybrid system.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7865995\" data-originallang=\"fr\"> I do wonder what would happen if we did not adopt the hybrid system, however. In the future, this way of doing things will continue to exist for one reason: It provides flexibility for important moments in a member's life. That is so important that we must continue using this system.</p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"7865993\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Madame la Pr\u00e9sidente, durant trois ans, j'ai eu plusieurs discussions avec les gens du Bloc qu\u00e9b\u00e9cois. Je leur ai demand\u00e9 quel changement ils proposaient pour un syst\u00e8me hybride ainsi que pour voter. Malheureusement, ils ont chaque fois dit clairement que ce n'\u00e9tait pas acceptable d'avoir un syst\u00e8me hybride.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7865994\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Cela est tr\u00e8s bizarre, parce que le d\u00e9put\u00e9 de l'autre c\u00f4t\u00e9 utilise ce syst\u00e8me chaque jour. Pour moi, il existe une option ici. Avec l'appui d'une majorit\u00e9 de d\u00e9put\u00e9s, il serait possible de changer les r\u00e8gles et d'annuler, par exemple, le syst\u00e8me hybride.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7865995\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Je me demande toutefois ce qui arriverait si on n'adoptait pas le syst\u00e8me hybride. Dans l'avenir, cette fa\u00e7on de faire va continuer d'exister pour une raison: cela permet la flexibilit\u00e9 dans les moments importants de la vie d'un d\u00e9put\u00e9. C'est important au point o\u00f9 nous devons poursuivre en ce sens.</p>"
