"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"1036971\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, in my opinion, the measures we are being asked to enact require a couple of things.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1036972\" data-originallang=\"en\">The first one is that we have complete trust in our judicial system, and I do. I am not questioning the ability and the independence of our judicial system, although there have been murmurs from the government about the meddling of our judicial system and correspondingly, appointments that may reflect a certain bent. However, that is not the question.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1036973\" data-originallang=\"en\">Would my colleague agree that the same kind of trust, if we are to adopt these measures, would be required of our national police?</p>",

Je ne remets pas en question la capacit\u00e9 et l'ind\u00e9pendance de notre syst\u00e8me judiciaire, bien qu'il y ait eu quelques murmures de la part du gouvernement concernant l'ing\u00e9rence de notre syst\u00e8me judiciaire et, par la suite, des nominations pouvant refl\u00e9ter une certaine tendance. Toutefois, l\u00e0 n'est pas la question.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1036973\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mon coll\u00e8gue convient-il que si nous adoptons ces mesures, nous devons avoir le m\u00eame genre de confiance \u00e0 l'\u00e9gard de la police nationale?</p>"
