"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"8735351\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, it does not matter what the RCMP said, because the RCMP should not be directed by the House of Commons. At the same time, this is not about the RCMP, because it is conducting its own investigation. It is about the power of Parliament to have documents produced. It does not matter if the motion says to give documents to the King of England; the fact of the matter is that Parliament has asked them to be given to the police.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8735352\" data-originallang=\"en\">The RCMP will conduct an independent investigation away from the government. The RCMP should act independently on its own accord, but this is completely about the House of Commons and its power. The privilege debate is about whether the government will hand documents over. If it will not, I hope the NDP will finally agree to an election so the people can decide this once and for all.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"8735351\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, ce que la GRC a dit importe peu parce qu'elle ne doit pas \u00eatre dirig\u00e9e par la Chambre des communes. Parall\u00e8lement, il ne s'agit pas ici de la GRC, car elle m\u00e8ne sa propre enqu\u00eate. Il s'agit du pouvoir que le Parlement a de demander la production de documents. Peu importe que la motion dise qu'il faut donner les documents au roi d'Angleterre; le fait est que le Parlement a demand\u00e9 que les documents soient remis \u00e0 la police.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8735352\" data-originallang=\"en\">La GRC m\u00e8nera une enqu\u00eate ind\u00e9pendante sans l'intervention du gouvernement. Elle doit agir ind\u00e9pendamment, comme elle en a convenu, mais c'est enti\u00e8rement de la Chambre des communes et de son pouvoir qu'il s'agit. Le d\u00e9bat sur la question de privil\u00e8ge vise \u00e0 d\u00e9terminer si le gouvernement remettra les documents au Parlement ou non. S'il refuse de le faire, j'esp\u00e8re que le Nouveau parti d\u00e9mocrate conviendra enfin qu'il faut une \u00e9lection pour que la population puisse trancher la question une fois pour toutes.</p>"
