"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"8945312\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Madam Speaker, I will respond in a very practical manner because my actions, our actions, speak for themselves. We have always supported this. We have always been in favour of it.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8945313\" data-originallang=\"fr\">That said, a trade agreement is not a religion. When there is something in an agreement that is not good, then of course, we have a right to reject it.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8945314\" data-originallang=\"fr\">We support the principle, which is even part of the legacy of the sovereignist movement in Quebec. Jacques Parizeau and Bernard Landry are the ones who convinced the Quebec public to get involved in foreign trade, first with the United States. We are certainly not against diversification.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8945315\" data-originallang=\"fr\">However, what bothers me about this bill is the fact that it reactivates provisions that allow multinationals to undermine political decision-making, public policy and democratic decision-making. I will vote against those provisions, and I hope my colleague will do the same because we work together on the same committee.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"8945312\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Madame la Pr\u00e9sidente, je vais r\u00e9pondre de fa\u00e7on tr\u00e8s peu hypoth\u00e9tique, parce que mon action, notre action, en fait foi. Nous avons toujours soutenu cela. Nous avons toujours \u00e9t\u00e9 en faveur de cela. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8945313\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Cela dit, un accord commercial n'est pas une religion. Quand il y a quelque chose qui n'est pas bon dans un accord, on a le droit de le rejeter, bien s\u00fbr.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8945314\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Nous appuyons le principe en lui-m\u00eame, et c'est m\u00eame l'h\u00e9ritage du mouvement souverainiste au Qu\u00e9bec. C'est Jacques Parizeau et Bernard Landry qui ont convaincu l'opinion publique qu\u00e9b\u00e9coise d'embarquer dans l'aventure commerciale, d'abord avec les \u00c9tats\u2011Unis. Nous ne sommes certainement pas contre la diversification.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8945315\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Par contre, ce qui me d\u00e9range dans ce qui nous est pr\u00e9sent\u00e9, c'est le fait qu'on r\u00e9active des dispositions qui permettent \u00e0 des multinationales de faire reculer la prise de d\u00e9cisions politiques, les politiques publiques et la prise de d\u00e9cision d\u00e9mocratique. Je vais voter contre ces dispositions j'esp\u00e8re que mon coll\u00e8gue en fera autant, parce que nous travaillons ensemble au m\u00eame comit\u00e9.</p>"
