"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"258878\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, one of the points the member has made is that the decision to cut the court challenges program is a frontal attack on the judiciary itself. Of all the bad decisions the government has made, the very worst decision is to eliminate the court challenges program.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"258879\" data-originallang=\"en\">Our country has prided itself on ensuring justice means something, that there is a way for people, who do not have deep pockets and high placed connections with the government in power, to have their rights and their views upheld in the judicial process. Now the government has thrown that on the scrap heap.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"258880\" data-originallang=\"en\">Could the member elaborate briefly on what he means when he says that in effect cancelling the court challenges program is an all out attack on the judiciary?</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"258878\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, le d\u00e9put\u00e9 a fait valoir, entre autres, que la d\u00e9cision de supprimer le Programme de contestation judiciaire est une attaque frontale contre la magistrature elle-m\u00eame. De toutes les mauvaises d\u00e9cisions que le gouvernement a prises, la pire a \u00e9t\u00e9 celle d'\u00e9liminer ce programme.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"258879\" data-originallang=\"en\">Notre pays s'est toujours fait une fiert\u00e9 de veiller \u00e0 ce qu'il y ait une justice pour tous, que les gens qui n'ont pas beaucoup d'argent ni d'amis bien plac\u00e9s au sein du gouvernement puissent d\u00e9fendre leurs droits et leurs points de vue devant les tribunaux. Mais le gouvernement a jug\u00e9 cela totalement inutile.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"258880\" data-originallang=\"en\">Le d\u00e9put\u00e9 pourrait-il pr\u00e9ciser bri\u00e8vement ce qu'il veut dire en affirmant que l'abolition du Programme de contestation judiciaire est en fait une attaque en r\u00e8gle contre la magistrature?</p>"
