        "en": "<p data-HoCid=\"873147\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, it is shocking that first nations people on reserve are denied the same human rights protections that all other Canadians enjoy.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"873148\" data-originallang=\"en\">After 30 years of this discrimination, our Conservative government is set to pass Bill <a data-HoCid=\"3095171\" href=\"/bills/39-2/C-21/\" title=\"An Act to amend the Canadian Human Rights Act\">C-21</a> in order to heal this scar. However, today, in the aboriginal affairs committee, after delaying the bill for more than a year, the Liberals, NDP and Bloc are conspiring to pass amendments that will nullify the effectiveness of this bill. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"873149\" data-originallang=\"en\">Former Liberal minister of Indian affairs, Robert Nault, has urged that this legislation be passed immediately. He says that it is a way to prove Canada is serious about equality, but fellow Liberals are not listening.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"873150\" data-originallang=\"en\">Yesterday, the Canadian Human Rights Commission released a report urging support for the bill. Yet again, the Liberals are just sitting on their hands. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"873151\" data-originallang=\"en\">As an aboriginal Canadian, I am offended by the actions of the Liberals over the last year. I demand that they end their anti-rights agenda and pass the bill without watering it down.</p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"873147\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, il est inacceptable que les droits des membres des Premi\u00e8res nations qui vivent dans les r\u00e9serves ne soient pas aussi bien prot\u00e9g\u00e9s que ceux des autres Canadiens.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"873148\" data-originallang=\"en\">Notre gouvernement conservateur est sur le point d'adopter le projet de loi <a data-HoCid=\"3095171\" href=\"/bills/39-2/C-21/\" title=\"An Act to amend the Canadian Human Rights Act\">C-21</a> pour mettre fin \u00e0 30 ans de discrimination et pour gu\u00e9rir cette blessure. Or, aujourd'hui, au Comit\u00e9 des affaires autochtones, les lib\u00e9raux, les n\u00e9o-d\u00e9mocrates et les bloquistes, apr\u00e8s avoir retard\u00e9 l'adoption du projet de loi pendant plus d'un an, ont conspir\u00e9 pour adopter des amendements qui le priveraient de son efficacit\u00e9.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"873149\" data-originallang=\"en\">Robert Nault, un ancien ministre lib\u00e9ral des Affaires indiennes, a exhort\u00e9 les d\u00e9put\u00e9s \u00e0 adopter le projet de loi sans tarder. Il a dit que cela montrerait que l'\u00e9galit\u00e9 est prise au s\u00e9rieux au Canada, mais ses coll\u00e8gues lib\u00e9raux ne l'\u00e9coutent pas.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"873150\" data-originallang=\"en\">Hier, la Commission canadienne des droits de la personne a pr\u00e9sent\u00e9 un rapport dans lequel elle exhorte les d\u00e9put\u00e9s \u00e0 appuyer le projet de loi. Encore une fois, les lib\u00e9raux refusent de se prononcer.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"873151\" data-originallang=\"en\">En tant que Canadien autochtone, je suis outr\u00e9 par les gestes pos\u00e9s par les lib\u00e9raux au cours de la derni\u00e8re ann\u00e9e. J'exige qu'ils abandonnent leur programme d'opposition aux droits de la personne et qu'ils adoptent le projet de loi sans le diluer.</p>"
