"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"8716526\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank my colleague from Chicoutimi\u2014Le Fjord for the sensitivity he showed in his remarks on an issue that is taking a major human toll. This is a serious blot on Canada's record and it is a disgrace. The Bloc Qu\u00e9b\u00e9cois has moved this motion to put pressure on the government to introduce the bill it has promised, not once but twice. The bill would seek to ban forced labour in Canadian supply chains.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8716527\" data-originallang=\"fr\">We are in a politically charged environment. Let us imagine that an election is finally called and we put an end to whatever is happening here, or, rather, what is not happening. Would my colleague commit, on behalf of the Conservative government, to introducing this bill himself to ban forced labour in Canadian supply chains?</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"8716526\" data-originallang=\"fr\"> Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, je remercie mon coll\u00e8gue de Chicoutimi\u2014Le Fjord de la sensibilit\u00e9 qu'il a d\u00e9montr\u00e9e lors de son intervention sur un enjeu qui est dramatique sur le plan humain, qui fait une grosse tache sur le dossier du Canada et qui fait honte. Si le Bloc qu\u00e9b\u00e9cois a d\u00e9pos\u00e9 cette motion, c'est aussi pour faire pression \u00e0 l'\u00e9gard d'un projet de loi envers lequel le gouvernement s'est engag\u00e9, deux fois plut\u00f4t qu'une, \u00e0 interdire le travail forc\u00e9 dans les cha\u00eenes d'approvisionnement canadiennes.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8716527\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Nous sommes dans un contexte politique. Imaginons qu'il y ait finalement des \u00e9lections et qu'on arr\u00eate ce qui se passe ici, ou plut\u00f4t ce qui ne se passe pas. Est-ce que mon coll\u00e8gue s'engagerait au nom du gouvernement conservateur \u00e0 d\u00e9poser lui-m\u00eame ce projet de loi pour faire en sorte qu'on arr\u00eate le travail forc\u00e9 dans les cha\u00eenes d'approvisionnement canadiennes?</p>"
