        "en": "<p data-HoCid=\"1125674\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, I would pose a question to the member in return. If there is a process in the country of origin that has not been used, should it not first be used to ensure that the due process that exists is applied for and followed?</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1125675\" data-originallang=\"en\">It is not so much an issue of a failure of process. We have a number of processes and I have outlined them: a hearing before a board and potentially an appeal from the board; leave to appeal to the Federal Court; an appeal to the Federal Court; an application to the Supreme Court; a humanitarian and compassionate grounds application, more than once; a pre-removal risk assessment. If a person receives a negative decision, at some point the person has to respect that. What the member is saying is that if they do not like a decision, they would like a program developed to add yet another layer to ensure that they could succeed, if that is what they want. It is not a failure of process. Adding another layer to the process certainly is not what is necessary. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1125676\" data-originallang=\"en\">The court has ruled on this issue saying that someone who, during his or her time in the military, develops an objection after he or she has volunteered is not entitled to refugee protection as we know it. There is a process that should be followed.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1125677\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Does the member not agree that the process should be followed? At some point, when a negative decision is received, one would expect the person to respect the negative decision and leave the country.</p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"1125674\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, je r\u00e9pliquerai au d\u00e9put\u00e9 en lui posant une question. S'il existe dans le pays d'origine un processus auquel la personne n'a pas encore eu recours, ne devrait-elle pas d'abord s'en servir?</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1125675\" data-originallang=\"en\">Il ne s'agit pas vraiment d'une question de processus d\u00e9faillant. Nous avons plusieurs processus, et je les ai \u00e9num\u00e9r\u00e9s: une audience devant une commission et un appel de sa d\u00e9cision; un appel devant la Cour f\u00e9d\u00e9rale; une demande \u00e0 la Cour supr\u00eame; possibilit\u00e9 de plusieurs demandes fond\u00e9es sur des raisons humanitaires ou de compassion; un examen des risques avant renvoi. Lorsqu'une personne voit son dossier rejet\u00e9, elle doit l'accepter. Ce que dit le d\u00e9put\u00e9, c'est que, lorsqu'une personne n'aime pas une d\u00e9cision, elle devrait avoir droit \u00e0 un nouveau programme qui constituerait un palier de plus et garantirait une acceptation si c'est ce que cette personne veut. Le processus n'est pas d\u00e9faillant. L'ajout d'un palier suppl\u00e9mentaire n'est certainement pas n\u00e9cessaire.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1125676\" data-originallang=\"en\">Les tribunaux se sont prononc\u00e9s sur la question et ont d\u00e9clar\u00e9 qu'une personne qui devient objecteur de conscience apr\u00e8s s'\u00eatre int\u00e9gr\u00e9e volontairement \u00e0 l'arm\u00e9e n'a pas droit au statut de r\u00e9fugi\u00e9 tel que nous l'entendons. Il y a un processus \u00e0 suivre.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1125677\" data-originallang=\"en\">Le d\u00e9put\u00e9 ne reconna\u00eet-il pas qu'il faut suivre le processus? \u00c0 un certain moment, lorsqu'une d\u00e9cision n\u00e9gative est rendue, on s'attend \u00e0 ce que la personne vis\u00e9e la respecte et quitte le Canada.</p>"
