"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"8301137\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Madam Chair, as a non-permanent member of this committee, I want to add my voice in support of the motion Mr. Housefather brought forward and the very legitimate concerns he's raised. I want to commend him for his passionate, appropriate speech in the House of Commons this week, where he articulated the fears and threats that are part of Jewish life in Canada today. This is not a Canada that I grew up with. It shouldn't be the Canada we have going forward. I hope this study will allow us to identify alternatives to address this very pernicious problem within our society.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8301138\" data-originallang=\"en\">I will also be speaking at an event in support of the Jewish community this Sunday in Vancouver. I want to assure Mr. Housefather that I will be sharing his concerns at that event. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8301139\" data-originallang=\"en\">I support the elegant solution Mr. Maloney suggested, which has been presented to this committee: Conduct, effectively, two studies\u2014one on Islamophobia and one on anti-Semitism. However, I also want to articulate my strong support for the original motion Mr. Housefather brought forward. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8301140\" data-originallang=\"en\">Thank you.</p>",

Housefather et que je comprends les pr\u00e9occupations tr\u00e8s l\u00e9gitimes qu'il a soulev\u00e9es. Je tiens \u00e0 le f\u00e9liciter pour le discours bien senti et tout \u00e0 fait appropri\u00e9 qu'il a prononc\u00e9 \u00e0 la Chambre des communes plus t\u00f4t cette semaine, dans lequel il a exprim\u00e9 les craintes et les menaces qui p\u00e8sent actuellement sur la communaut\u00e9 juive au Canada. Ce n'est pas le Canada dans lequel j'ai grandi. Ce ne devrait pas \u00eatre le Canada de l'avenir. J'esp\u00e8re que cette \u00e9tude nous permettra de trouver des solutions pour rem\u00e9dier \u00e0 ce probl\u00e8me tr\u00e8s pernicieux au sein de notre soci\u00e9t\u00e9.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8301138\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je prendrai \u00e9galement la parole lors d'un rassemblement en appui \u00e0 la communaut\u00e9 juive ce dimanche \u00e0 Vancouver. Je tiens \u00e0 assurer \u00e0 M. Housefather que je ferai valoir ses pr\u00e9occupations \u00e0 cette occasion. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8301139\" data-originallang=\"en\">J'appuie la solution astucieuse que M. Maloney a propos\u00e9e au Comit\u00e9 sur le fait de mener deux \u00e9tudes, une sur l'islamophobie et une autre sur l'antis\u00e9mitisme. Toutefois, je tiens \u00e9galement \u00e0 dire que j'appuie fermement la motion initiale pr\u00e9sent\u00e9e par M. Housefather.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8301140\" data-originallang=\"en\">Merci.</p>"
