"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"7866346\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madam Speaker, I like the member. I know that he shows up. Many of his colleagues do not, and this is the problem. The Globe and Mail exposed the fact that the Conservatives are the most absent in this virtual Parliament. After the first couple of months in a virtual Parliament, The Globe and Mail showed us that Conservatives only show up 47% of the time. New Democrats showed up twice as much: 85% of the time.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7866347\" data-originallang=\"en\">That member shows up; I am not trying to pretend otherwise. I am saying his colleagues do not, and the real concern is about MPs abusing this. It really comes from the example Conservative MPs have set themselves, being more absent than any other party in this House.</p>",

Cependant, bon nombre de ses coll\u00e8gues ne le font pas, et c'est l\u00e0 le probl\u00e8me. Le<em> Globe and Mail</em> a r\u00e9v\u00e9l\u00e9 que les conservateurs sont les d\u00e9put\u00e9s ayant le plus fort taux d'absent\u00e9isme du Parlement virtuel. Apr\u00e8s les deux ou trois premiers mois d'existence du Parlement virtuel, le <em>Globe and Mail </em>nous a montr\u00e9 que les conservateurs ne se pr\u00e9sentaient que 47 % du temps. Les n\u00e9o-d\u00e9mocrates sont deux fois plus pr\u00e9sents, soit 85 % du temps.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7866347\" data-originallang=\"en\">Ce d\u00e9put\u00e9\u2011ci se pr\u00e9sente; je n'essaie pas de pr\u00e9tendre le contraire. Mais je dis que ses coll\u00e8gues ne le font pas, et la v\u00e9ritable pr\u00e9occupation est li\u00e9e aux d\u00e9put\u00e9s qui abusent du syst\u00e8me. Elle d\u00e9coule vraiment de l'exemple que les d\u00e9put\u00e9s conservateurs ont donn\u00e9 eux-m\u00eames, en \u00e9tant plus absents que n'importe quel autre parti de la Chambre.</p>"
