"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"59667\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, I rise today to call attention to the escalating crisis in Darfur and I call on the government to take immediate action toward stopping the genocide.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"59668\" data-originallang=\"en\">More than a quarter of a million civilians have been murdered, thousands of women and young girls raped, and millions forced from their homes. As the United Nations has clearly stated, it is \u201cthe worst humanitarian catastrophe in the world today\u201d.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"59669\" data-originallang=\"en\">Last month, the Sudanese government rejected the UN resolution to send UN peacekeepers to the region to stop this carnage. It is clear that Khartoum has absolutely no intention of stopping the continual atrocities. At a rally I recently attended with Senator Rom\u00e9o Dallaire, he said Darfur will become another Rwanda if action is not taken now.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"59670\" data-originallang=\"en\">The government needs to take a leadership role, together with the UN, immediately imposing sanctions against those responsible for the genocide. Canada must deliver on our initiative, the responsibility to protect. Lip service here at home is just not good enough.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"59667\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, j'interviens aujourd'hui pour attirer l'attention sur la crise qui s'amplifie au Darfour et pour exhorter le gouvernement \u00e0 prendre sans d\u00e9lai des mesures afin de tenter de mettre un terme au g\u00e9nocide. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"59668\" data-originallang=\"en\">Plus d'un quart de million de civils ont \u00e9t\u00e9 assassin\u00e9s, des milliers de femmes et de jeunes filles ont \u00e9t\u00e9 viol\u00e9es et des millions d'autres personnes ont \u00e9t\u00e9 expuls\u00e9es de leur foyer. Comme les Nations Unies l'ont clairement affirm\u00e9, il s'agit actuellement de \u00ab la pire catastrophe humanitaire au monde \u00bb. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"59669\" data-originallang=\"en\">Le mois dernier, le gouvernement du Soudan a rejet\u00e9 la r\u00e9solution de l'ONU proposant l'envoi de Casques bleus dans la r\u00e9gion pour mettre fin au carnage. Il est clair que Khartoum n'a absolument pas l'intention de mettre un terme \u00e0 toutes ces atrocit\u00e9s. J'ai assist\u00e9 r\u00e9cemment \u00e0 un rassemblement en compagnie du s\u00e9nateur Rom\u00e9o Dallaire qui disait que le Darfour risquait de devenir un autre Rwanda si des mesures n'\u00e9taient pas prises d\u00e8s maintenant. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"59670\" data-originallang=\"en\">Le gouvernement doit assumer un r\u00f4le de direction, en collaboration avec les Nations Unies, et imposer sans d\u00e9lai des sanctions contre les responsables du g\u00e9nocide. Le Canada doit donner suite \u00e0 notre initiative, et respecter l'obligation de protection. On ne peut se contenter de belles paroles ici au pays. </p>"
