"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"458652\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Mr. Speaker, as the member said, we were all working towards a common goal, which I would define as the pursuit of justice.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"458653\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Regarding the relationship between protecting security and protecting human rights, I think the relationship must be based on the principle of protecting human security. There are two approaches to this. The first is to see terrorist attacks\u2014particularly those committed by international terrorists\u2014as attacks on the security of our democracy and on our individual and collective rights to life, security and protection of freedom. However, the application of the Anti-terrorism Act and of anti-terrorism policy must still work with the rule of law, with the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, and with the principles of human rights.</p>",

La premi\u00e8re est de voir la les attaques terroristes \u2014 particuli\u00e8rement celles commises par le terrorisme international \u2014 comme une atteinte \u00e0 la s\u00e9curit\u00e9 de notre d\u00e9mocratie ainsi qu'\u00e0 nos droits individuels et collectifs que sont les droits \u00e0 la vie, \u00e0 la s\u00e9curit\u00e9 et \u00e0 la protection de la libert\u00e9. Toutefois, l'application de la loi contre le terrorisme, de la politique contre le terrorisme, doit toujours composer avec la primaut\u00e9 des droits, doit toujours composer avec la Charte canadienne des droits et libert\u00e9s et doit toujours composer avec les principes des droits de la personne.</p>"
