"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"8846730\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, as a first nations person, I know that sovereignty and where we stand in Confederation are always coming into question, so I do empathize with the notion of nationhood and finding a balance in Canada.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8846731\" data-originallang=\"en\">As for the vote that happened today, that has already been explained in this House a number of times. Quebec does enjoy a level of nationhood, and sometimes those distinctions mean differences in how things are voted on in this House.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8846732\" data-originallang=\"en\"> When it comes to consensus on building things in this country, I believe in things getting done and built. The economy has suffered for quite some time now, and I think the members opposite, as much as they have put forward some initiatives lately, have to prove that it is not just rhetoric and that there is going to be action for Canadians.</p>",

Le Qu\u00e9bec jouit d'un statut de nation, et parfois, ces distinctions se traduisent par des diff\u00e9rences dans la fa\u00e7on dont les votes se d\u00e9roulent \u00e0 la Chambre.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8846732\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Lorsqu'il s'agit de parvenir \u00e0 un consensus pour construire quelque chose dans ce pays, je crois qu'il faut agir et construire. L'\u00e9conomie souffre depuis un certain temps d\u00e9j\u00e0, et je pense que les d\u00e9put\u00e9s d'en face, m\u00eame s'ils ont pr\u00e9sent\u00e9 certaines initiatives r\u00e9cemment, doivent prouver qu'il ne s'agit pas seulement de beaux discours et qu'ils vont agir pour les Canadiens.</p>"
