"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"8721038\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Mr. Speaker, it is an honour to rise in this place to speak on behalf of the good people of Coast of Bays\u2014Central\u2014Notre Dame, who sent me here. They are quite concerned about the business of this place being hung up and the fact that we are not addressing what we could be addressing. We are stopped from doing so because the other side of the House will not follow the order the Speaker laid out for them to produce documents relating to the Sustainable Development Technology Canada fund, unredacted, as the Speaker commanded them to do.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8721039\" data-originallang=\"en\">If they listened, it could be business as usual, and we could be dealing with other important issues in this country. Right now, what is important to Canadians and the constituents of all of us in the House, even constituents represented by Liberal members, is knowing what is in the documents that were sort of produced and somewhat redacted. What is with the big cover-up? If the Liberals bring the documents forward, the privilege debate will be over and we can get back to business. First we have to find out where that $400 million went.</p>",

Ils sont tr\u00e8s pr\u00e9occup\u00e9s lorsqu'ils voient que les travaux de la Chambre sont paralys\u00e9s et que nous n'examinons pas les questions qui devraient retenir notre attention. Nous ne pouvons pas le faire parce que les d\u00e9put\u00e9s d'en face refusent de respecter l'ordre du Pr\u00e9sident qui les somme de produire les documents non caviard\u00e9s li\u00e9s au fonds de Technologies du d\u00e9veloppement durable Canada.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8721039\" data-originallang=\"en\">S'ils \u00e9coutaient, les affaires pourraient reprendre, et nous pourrions examiner d'autres questions importantes pour le Canada. En ce moment, ce qui est important pour les Canadiens et les concitoyens de tous les d\u00e9put\u00e9s \u00e0 la Chambre, m\u00eame ceux qui sont repr\u00e9sent\u00e9s par les d\u00e9put\u00e9s lib\u00e9raux, c'est de savoir ce qu'il y a dans les documents caviard\u00e9s qui ont \u00e9t\u00e9 produits. Qu'est-ce qui explique l'op\u00e9ration de dissimulation? Si les lib\u00e9raux produisent les documents, le d\u00e9bat sur la question de privil\u00e8ge prendra fin, et nous pourrons reprendre nos travaux. Il faut d'abord savoir o\u00f9 sont pass\u00e9s ces 400 millions de dollars.</p>"
