"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"2222257\" data-originallang=\"en\">Yet you said in your presentation--and I think I'm quoting you correctly--that Bill C-42 violates international law. To me those two statements are diametrically opposed. On one hand, you agree that America has the right to govern its own airspace, yet you present to the committee that Bill <a data-HoCid=\"4626858\" href=\"/bills/40-3/C-42/\" title=\"An Act to amend the Aeronautics Act\">C-42</a>, which is complying with what the United States has the right to ask, violates international law. To me that seems like the two are diametrically opposed.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2222258\" data-originallang=\"en\">You also said that it violates the Canadian charter, and you're dismayed that there are grave violations, yet you say the U.S. has the rights to its own airspace.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2222259\" data-originallang=\"en\">I know that my colleague earlier was talking about the history of Canada, and that we've been able to fly over the United States for 50 years. But regardless of the history we have--and it's been a good history with our American neighbours--laws change and circumstances change. Since 9/11 we have seen America doing what it needs to do in its own airspace, in its own territory, to protect its own citizens. They have the right to do that, do they not?</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"2222257\" data-originallang=\"en\">Pourtant, vous avez dit dans votre expos\u00e9 \u2014 et je vous cite \u2014 que le projet de loi C-42 contrevient aux lois internationales. \u00c0 mon sens, ces deux affirmations sont diam\u00e9tralement oppos\u00e9es. D'une part, vous convenez que les Am\u00e9ricains ont le droit de prot\u00e9ger leur espace a\u00e9rien, mais, d'autre part, vous dites que le projet de loi <a data-HoCid=\"4626858\" href=\"/bills/40-3/C-42/\" title=\"An Act to amend the Aeronautics Act\">C-42</a>, qui est conforme \u00e0 ce que les \u00c9tats-Unis ont le droit de demander, viole le droit international. \u00c0 mon avis, c'est contradictoire. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2222258\" data-originallang=\"en\">Vous avez \u00e9galement d\u00e9clar\u00e9 qu'il va \u00e0 l'encontre de la Charte canadienne des droits et libert\u00e9s et que vous \u00eates constern\u00e9e par les graves violations qu'il entra\u00eene, et pourtant, vous estimez que les \u00c9tats-Unis sont en droit de d\u00e9fendre leur propre espace a\u00e9rien.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2222259\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je sais que mon coll\u00e8gue a parl\u00e9 plus t\u00f4t de l'histoire du Canada, et du fait que nous pouvons voler au-dessus des \u00c9tats-Unis depuis 50 ans. Mais malgr\u00e9 tout \u2014 malgr\u00e9 cette bonne relation avec nos voisins am\u00e9ricains \u2014, les lois changent, de m\u00eame que les circonstances. Depuis les attentats du 11 septembre, nous avons vu les Am\u00e9ricains prendre les mesures qui s'imposent dans leur espace a\u00e9rien, dans leur propre territoire, pour prot\u00e9ger leurs citoyens. N'ont-ils pas le droit?</p>"
