"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"8767377\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Mr. Speaker, in the House, and in other public settings, there has been a member of Parliament, and I will let the leader guess which one, but that member has been here for about 20 years and has a big pension, who has said the following couple of quotes. Perhaps the member could comment on them. This member has said, \u201cThe union has the power to shut down a workplace...legal powers give the union a state-enforced monopoly on labour\u201d. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8767378\" data-originallang=\"en\"> This member spoke of \u201cfattened union contracts.\u201d This member allowed right-to-work legislation, that is optional union membership, in his party's platform. That member cannot comprehend that union firms can be competitive with non-union ones.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8767379\" data-originallang=\"en\"> I wonder if that member of Parliament could explain those comments, which he made about working people in this country.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"8767377\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, \u00e0 la Chambre et dans d'autres contextes publics, un d\u00e9put\u00e9 \u2014 je laisserai le chef deviner lequel, mais ce d\u00e9put\u00e9 est ici depuis une vingtaine d'ann\u00e9es et a une grosse pension \u2014 a dit les deux choses suivantes. Le d\u00e9put\u00e9 pourrait peut-\u00eatre les commenter. Ce d\u00e9put\u00e9 a dit que les syndicats ont le pouvoir de paralyser un milieu de travail et que ces pouvoirs l\u00e9gaux conf\u00e8rent aux syndicats un monopole sur la main-d'\u0153uvre, sanctionn\u00e9 par l'\u00c9tat.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8767378\" data-originallang=\"en\">Ce d\u00e9put\u00e9 a parl\u00e9 de \u00ab g\u00e9n\u00e9reuses conventions collectives \u00bb. Ce d\u00e9put\u00e9 a autoris\u00e9 l'inclusion de la loi sur le droit au travail, c'est-\u00e0-dire l'adh\u00e9sion facultative \u00e0 un syndicat, dans le programme de son parti. Ce d\u00e9put\u00e9 ne comprend pas que des entreprises syndiqu\u00e9es puissent \u00eatre en concurrence avec des entreprises non syndiqu\u00e9es.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8767379\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je me demande si ce d\u00e9put\u00e9 pourrait expliquer ses remarques sur les travailleurs de ce pays.</p>"
