"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"1063669\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, I was interested in the member's comments on Bill <a data-HoCid=\"3387915\" href=\"/bills/39-2/C-52/\" title=\"An Act respecting the safety of consumer products\">C-52, An Act respecting the safety of consumer products</a>. One of the areas that I am concerned about, and I know from his remarks that he is as well, is the whole question of the safety of imports into Canada.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1063670\" data-originallang=\"en\">One of the problems that I see with Bill <a data-HoCid=\"3387915\" href=\"/bills/39-2/C-52/\" title=\"An Act respecting the safety of consumer products\">C-52</a> is that it lacks any comprehensive system to ensure that items are safe before they enter Canada. The system it contemplates targets high risk sources for higher surveillance, but it depends more on reacting to safety problems that are identified through use after the fact. It relies on identifying a problem once the product has already been distributed in Canada. This seems to be a major problem. It might be better to try to identify those problems before the product reaches consumers in Canada altogether.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1063671\" data-originallang=\"en\">I wonder if the member might comment on that. Does he think it might be better to have some kind of pre-entry testing system or some pre-distribution testing system for imports that might make Canadians safer overall? That would not make the Canadian consumer the testing ground for whether there is a problem with a product imported from outside of Canada.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"1063669\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, les observations de mon coll\u00e8gue sur le projet de loi <a data-HoCid=\"3387915\" href=\"/bills/39-2/C-52/\" title=\"An Act respecting the safety of consumer products\">C-52, Loi concernant la s\u00e9curit\u00e9 des produits de consommation</a> m'ont int\u00e9ress\u00e9. Un aspect dont je me pr\u00e9occupe, et je sais que d'apr\u00e8s ses remarques, il en va de m\u00eame pour mon coll\u00e8gue, est toute la question de la s\u00e9curit\u00e9 des produits import\u00e9s au Canada.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1063670\" data-originallang=\"en\">Un des probl\u00e8mes que je vois dans le projet de loi <a data-HoCid=\"3387915\" href=\"/bills/39-2/C-52/\" title=\"An Act respecting the safety of consumer products\">C-52</a>, c'est qu'il ne pr\u00e9voit pas de syst\u00e8me global pour v\u00e9rifier la s\u00e9curit\u00e9 des articles avant leur entr\u00e9e au Canada. Le syst\u00e8me envisag\u00e9 cible les sources \u00e0 hauts risques pour mieux les surveiller, mais il tend davantage \u00e0 r\u00e9agir aux probl\u00e8mes de s\u00e9curit\u00e9 d\u00e9couverts apr\u00e8s coup. Il est con\u00e7u pour d\u00e9tecter les probl\u00e8mes une fois que le produit a d\u00e9j\u00e0 \u00e9t\u00e9 distribu\u00e9 au Canada. Cela semble un important probl\u00e8me. Il serait mieux d'essayer de d\u00e9couvrir les probl\u00e8mes avant m\u00eame que le produit n'atterrisse entre les mains des consommateurs canadiens.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1063671\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je me demande si le d\u00e9put\u00e9 peut nous dire ce qu'il en pense. Croit-il qu'il serait mieux d'avoir un syst\u00e8me de d\u00e9pistage pr\u00e9alable \u00e0 l'entr\u00e9e ou d'avoir un quelconque syst\u00e8me de d\u00e9pistage pr\u00e9alable \u00e0 la distribution des produits import\u00e9s qui pourrait contribuer \u00e0 la s\u00e9curit\u00e9 g\u00e9n\u00e9rale des Canadiens? Ce syst\u00e8me emp\u00eacherait que les consommateurs canadiens soient pris pour des cobayes en vue de d\u00e9couvrir si un produit import\u00e9 cause un probl\u00e8me.</p>"
