"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"7866696\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Madam Speaker, the member for Saint\u2011Jean is right. It is true. That is why the NDP has been calling for the abolition of the Senate for decades.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7866697\" data-originallang=\"fr\">We are talking about a Senate appointed by the Liberals and the Conservatives. We have seen the Senate block very worthwhile bills on several occasions. It is obvious that this process of sending bills to an institution that is not democratically elected is detrimental.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7866698\" data-originallang=\"fr\">My colleague is quite right. In this case, the bill would have been adopted already had there not been this step. That is something to think about for Canadians who want to abolish the Senate.</p>",

C'est pour cela que, depuis des d\u00e9cennies, le NPD pr\u00f4ne l'abolition du S\u00e9nat.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7866697\" data-originallang=\"fr\">On parle d'un S\u00e9nat qui est nomm\u00e9 par les lib\u00e9raux et les conservateurs. On a vu \u00e0 plusieurs reprises des projets de loi tr\u00e8s int\u00e9ressants \u00eatre bloqu\u00e9s au S\u00e9nat. Il est clair que ce processus, qui consiste \u00e0 envoyer des projets de loi \u00e0 une institution qui n'est pas d\u00e9mocratiquement \u00e9lue, cause des torts.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7866698\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Ma coll\u00e8gue a tout \u00e0 fait raison. Dans ce cas-ci, le projet de loi aurait d\u00e9j\u00e0 \u00e9t\u00e9 adopt\u00e9 s'il n'y avait pas eu cette \u00e9tape. C'est un pensez-y-bien pour les Canadiennes et les Canadiens qui veulent abolir le S\u00e9nat.</p>"
