"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"7826930\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madam Speaker, I do think it is material to the requirements here that the government made a last-minute change to the schedule with respect to the calling of Bill <a data-HoCid=\"12341217\" href=\"/bills/44-1/C-47/\" title=\"An Act to implement certain provisions of the budget tabled in Parliament on March 28, 2023\">C-47</a>. Members became aware of it for the first time in the Thursday question, which was very late in the day yesterday.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7826931\" data-originallang=\"en\"> I understand that it is common for members to write to the Speaker in advance, and that is ideal, but it is ideal under circumstances in which members have sufficient time. As I am going to raise in a question of privilege shortly, there was a mad scramble, which limited the rights of members in terms of submitting amendments. Therefore, some degree of recognition of that fact is important in this case, in light of the fact that the government is trying to limit the ability of members to move amendments and make arguments by these last-minute changes to the schedule. I hope that is part of the consideration as well.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"7826930\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madame la Pr\u00e9sidente, relativement aux exigences, je pense qu'il est pertinent d'indiquer que le gouvernement s'y est pris \u00e0 la derni\u00e8re minute pour inscrire le projet de loi <a data-HoCid=\"12341217\" href=\"/bills/44-1/C-47/\" title=\"An Act to implement certain provisions of the budget tabled in Parliament on March 28, 2023\">C\u201147</a> \u00e0 l'ordre du jour. Les d\u00e9put\u00e9s n'ont \u00e9t\u00e9 avis\u00e9s de cette d\u00e9cision que lors de la question du jeudi, qui a eu lieu tr\u00e8s tard hier.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7826931\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je sais que les d\u00e9put\u00e9s \u00e9crivent habituellement en avance au Pr\u00e9sident. C'est l'id\u00e9al, oui, mais c'est dans des circonstances id\u00e9ales, lorsque les d\u00e9put\u00e9s ont le temps de le faire. Puisque je vais bient\u00f4t soulever une question de privil\u00e8ge, tout le monde s'est pr\u00e9cipit\u00e9, ce qui a restreint le droit des d\u00e9put\u00e9s \u00e0 proposer des amendements. C'est pourquoi il est important de tenir compte de ce fait, dans une certaine mesure, \u00e9tant donn\u00e9 que, en modifiant l'horaire \u00e0 la derni\u00e8re minute, le gouvernement tente de mettre des b\u00e2tons dans les roues des d\u00e9put\u00e9s qui veulent proposer des amendements ou pr\u00e9senter des observations. J'esp\u00e8re que cela fait \u00e9galement partie des facteurs pris en consid\u00e9ration.</p>"
