"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"1638583\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madam Speaker, I talked about the deterrence side and passing mandatory prison sentences to act as a deterrent. I have supported those in the more than five years that I have served in Parliament.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1638584\" data-originallang=\"en\">I do not disagree with the hon. member that we need to ensure there are proper investigative processes in place. I know that once people know they have been scammed, they can call law enforcement right away, but we need to have the tools in place, which is what we are attempting to do with this bill. We are attempting to put those tools in place for the courts to act as a deterrent.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1638585\" data-originallang=\"en\">It is my hope that we would see fewer of these types of crimes committed. I urge the hon. member to vote for this bill at second reading and move it on to committee. He can bring forward additional positive amendments if he thinks those would be appropriate.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"1638583\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madame la Pr\u00e9sidente, j'ai parl\u00e9 de la dissuasion et de l'adoption de peines de prison obligatoires en tant que mesure dissuasive. J'appuie de telles mesures depuis mon \u00e9lection au Parlement il y a plus de cinq ans.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1638584\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je suis d'accord avec le d\u00e9put\u00e9 pour dire que nous devons nous assurer d'avoir les processus d'enqu\u00eate ad\u00e9quats. D\u00e8s qu'une personne se rend compte qu'elle s'est fait arnaquer, elle peut appeler la police sur-le-champ, mais nous devons avoir les outils juridiques n\u00e9cessaires \u00e0 notre disposition, et c'est l\u00e0 l'objectif du projet de loi. Nous voulons faire en sorte que les tribunaux puissent prendre des mesures dissuasives.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1638585\" data-originallang=\"en\">J'esp\u00e8re que le nombre de crimes en col blanc diminuera. J'encourage le d\u00e9put\u00e9 \u00e0 voter en faveur du projet de loi \u00e0 l'\u00e9tape de la deuxi\u00e8me lecture pour qu'il soit renvoy\u00e9 au comit\u00e9. Il pourra y proposer les amendements positifs qu'il estime indiqu\u00e9s. </p>"
