"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"9276005\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Mr. Speaker, I find today's debate rather odd. Just a few days ago, by-elections were held in three ridings, one in Quebec and two others in the Toronto area. The next day, the <a data-HoCid=\"314774\" href=\"/politicians/mark-carney/\" title=\"Mark Carney\">Prime Minister</a> said that he would continue to work with the opposition because that is what Quebeckers and Canadians wanted.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"9276006\" data-originallang=\"fr\">What is happening today is the exact opposite of that. We are concerned about increased arrogance and contempt for the parliamentary process and the workings of Parliament, which require an opposition that makes its voice heard and that, when necessary, works with a government that is willing to listen, take into account the concerns raised by the opposition and address them. Let us be clear: The 343 members of the House represent citizens who have a right to be heard.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"9276007\" data-originallang=\"fr\">To follow up on what my colleague just said in answer to my previous question, I would like to know what he thinks of this approach. Is he also concerned about the approach we are beginning to see from this Liberal government?</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"9276005\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, je trouve assez particulier le d\u00e9bat dans lequel nous nous retrouvons aujourd'hui. Il y a \u00e0 peine quelques jours, il y a eu des \u00e9lections partielles dans trois circonscriptions, une au Qu\u00e9bec et deux dans la r\u00e9gion de Toronto. Le lendemain, le <a data-HoCid=\"314774\" href=\"/politicians/mark-carney/\" title=\"Mark Carney\">premier ministre</a> a dit qu'il allait continuer de collaborer avec l'opposition parce que c'est ce que les Canadiens, les Canadiennes, les Qu\u00e9b\u00e9cois et les Qu\u00e9b\u00e9coises souhaitent. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"9276006\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Ce qu'on est en train de vivre aujourd'hui, c'est compl\u00e8tement le contraire. On peut m\u00eame craindre une mont\u00e9e d'une certaine arrogance et d'un certain m\u00e9pris du processus parlementaire et du fonctionnement du Parlement, qui impliquent une opposition qui se fait entendre et qui collabore aussi au besoin avec un gouvernement qui \u00e9coute, qui tient compte de ce qui est rapport\u00e9 par l'opposition et qui en prend acte. On va se le dire, les 343 d\u00e9put\u00e9s de la Chambre repr\u00e9sentent des citoyens qui ont le droit de se faire entendre.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"9276007\" data-originallang=\"fr\"> Alors, en guise de compl\u00e9ment \u00e0 ce dont mon coll\u00e8gue vient de parler en r\u00e9ponse \u00e0 ma question pr\u00e9c\u00e9dente, je voudrais savoir ce qu'il pense de cette fa\u00e7on d'agir. Est-ce qu'il est inquiet lui aussi de la fa\u00e7on d'agir qu'on voit poindre de la part de ce gouvernement lib\u00e9ral?</p>"
