"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"259894\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Mr. Speaker, my Liberal colleague is entirely correct. What they are trying to do is simply copy the Americans. In the United States, where such a policy was brought in, here is what happened. The American rate of incarceration is seven times higher. There are three times more homicides in the U.S. than in Canada, and four times more than in Quebec. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"259895\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Why would we copy such a policy here, when it clearly does not work and accomplishes nothing? Despite my colleague's indignation, I still insist that this measure is completely ridiculous. Its sole purpose is to make the Conservatives look good in the eyes of Canadians and deliver on their promises, which are completely ridiculous. </p>",

Ce qu'on essaie de faire pr\u00e9sentement, c'est de calquer ce que font les Am\u00e9ricains. L\u00e0 o\u00f9 une telle politique a \u00e9t\u00e9 appliqu\u00e9e, aux \u00c9tats-Unis par exemple, le r\u00e9sultat est le suivant: il y a sept fois plus d'emprisonnement aux \u00c9tats-Unis; il y a trois fois plus d'homicides graves aux \u00c9tats-Unis qu'au Canada et quatre fois plus qu'au Qu\u00e9bec.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"259895\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Pourquoi reproduit-on ici une recette qui ne fonctionne pas et qui n'apporte rien? Malgr\u00e9 l'indignation de mon coll\u00e8gue, je persiste \u00e0 dire que cette mesure est tout \u00e0 fait farfelue et qu'elle vise \u00e0 donner une belle jambe aux conservateurs face \u00e0 la population et face \u00e0 des engagements qu'ils sont oblig\u00e9s de respecter mais qui sont tout \u00e0 fait farfelus.</p>"
