"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"8316550\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madam Speaker, Canadians do not need to hear it from me. They can hear it directly from the senators in question. Three independent senators said they were bullied by the Conservative leader in the Senate, in the red chamber, after a member from their group attempted to put off debate on a controversial bill. Police and the Senate had also investigated the matter, and the Conservative leader in the Senate did concede that he got a little angry over the matter.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8316551\" data-originallang=\"en\">The Conservatives can stand over there and justify that behaviour if they would like, but there are senators who did not go home that weekend. They stayed in a hotel because they feared for their safety due to the bullying of the Conservative Senate leader. That is unbecoming of the office they hold. Certainly, there is lots of time for debate, but instructing people to harass senators, or any other elected or non-elected official, is wrong. </p>",

Ils peuvent l'entendre directement de la bouche des s\u00e9natrices en question. Trois s\u00e9natrices ind\u00e9pendantes ont d\u00e9clar\u00e9 avoir \u00e9t\u00e9 intimid\u00e9es par le leader conservateur au S\u00e9nat, dans la Chambre rouge, apr\u00e8s qu'un membre de leur groupe a tent\u00e9 de reporter le d\u00e9bat sur un projet de loi controvers\u00e9. La police et le S\u00e9nat ont \u00e9galement enqu\u00eat\u00e9 sur la situation, et le leader conservateur au S\u00e9nat a admis qu'il s'\u00e9tait quelque peu emport\u00e9 \u00e0 ce sujet.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8316551\" data-originallang=\"en\">Les conservateurs peuvent justifier leur comportement s'ils le souhaitent, mais certaines s\u00e9natrices ne sont pas rentr\u00e9es chez elles cette fin de semaine l\u00e0. Elles sont rest\u00e9es \u00e0 l'h\u00f4tel parce qu'elles craignaient pour leur s\u00e9curit\u00e9 en raison de l'intimidation du leader conservateur au S\u00e9nat. Ce n'est pas digne de la fonction qu'elles occupent. Certes, il y a beaucoup de temps pour d\u00e9battre, mais donner l'ordre de harceler les s\u00e9nateurs, ou tout autre repr\u00e9sentant \u00e9lu ou non \u00e9lu, est une erreur.</p>"
