        "en": "<p data-HoCid=\"449323\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Mr. Speaker, yes, there is a way to speed up the process, and that is to establish the refugee appeal division, since that process is much less intense and much simpler. We are talking about a quasi-administrative tribunal, which is also a lot less expensive than an appeal to the Supreme Court.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"449324\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Therefore, it must be put in place. Not only is it the logical thing to do, but it is also the law. Furthermore, the United Nations Committee against Torture is calling on Canada to establish this tribunal, so that decisions may be appealed in all cases. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"449325\" data-originallang=\"fr\">I would also like to point out that, even in the case of the Superior Court, not all decisions can be appealed. It is an extremely long and costly process, not only for the applicants, but also for the government and society in general. Not to mention that it is ineffective.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"449326\" data-originallang=\"fr\">The short answer, simply, is yes. Let us lift an administrative burden, eliminate unnecessary costs, and establish this appeal division, which will allow everyone to be heard, which will comply with the act, and which will fulfill our international obligations. </p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"449323\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, oui, il y a une fa\u00e7on d'acc\u00e9l\u00e9rer le processus, et c'est la mise en place de la Section d'appel des r\u00e9fugi\u00e9s. Car c'est un processus beaucoup plus l\u00e9ger, beaucoup plus simple. On parle d'un tribunal quasi administratif. C'est aussi beaucoup moins co\u00fbteux qu'un appel en Cour sup\u00e9rieure. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"449324\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Donc, effectivement, il faut le mettre en place. Non seulement c'est la chose logique \u00e0 faire, mais c'est la chose qui est pr\u00e9vue dans la loi. De plus, m\u00eame le Comit\u00e9 contre la torture des Nations Unies demande au Canada de mettre en place ce tribunal pour que, dans tous les cas, on puisse en appeler des d\u00e9cisions.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"449325\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Il faut dire aussi que m\u00eame dans le cas de la Cour sup\u00e9rieure, ce ne sont pas toutes les d\u00e9cisions qui peuvent faire l'objet d'un appel. C'est une proc\u00e9dure extr\u00eamement longue et co\u00fbteuse non seulement pour les demandeurs, mais aussi pour le gouvernement et la soci\u00e9t\u00e9 en g\u00e9n\u00e9ral. De plus, elle n'est pas efficace. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"449326\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Donc, la r\u00e9ponse toute simple est oui, enlevons un fardeau administratif, enlevons des co\u00fbts inutiles, mettons en place cette section d'appel qui va permettre \u00e0 tout le monde de se faire entendre, qui va respecter la loi et qui va respecter nos obligations internationales. </p>"
