"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"1717254\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, on that last point from the Conservative side, I wonder if my colleague from the Bloc could comment on the witness the Conservatives brought forward, who was the father of a victim of murder, who indicated to us, over the course of his testimony, that in the last week or two before coming to us he had been on a panel with one of the individuals who had been released on early parole. As a result of his discussion with that individual, he had changed his mind on this section of the code and felt that there were occasions when it was appropriate for people, who have rehabilitated themselves and convinced a judge and jury that they have rehabilitated themselves, to be released earlier.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1717255\" data-originallang=\"en\">I just wonder if my colleague could comment on the impression that particular witness left with our committee.</p>",

Apr\u00e8s avoir eu l'occasion de discuter avec cette personne, il a chang\u00e9 d'avis sur cet article du Code criminel. Depuis, il estime qu'il est appropri\u00e9, dans certaines circonstances, de lib\u00e9rer avant la fin de leur peine des criminels r\u00e9adapt\u00e9s et \u00e0 m\u00eame de convaincre un juge et un jury de leur r\u00e9adaptation.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1717255\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je me demande simplement ce que le d\u00e9put\u00e9 pense de l'impression laiss\u00e9e \u00e0 notre comit\u00e9 par ce t\u00e9moin.</p>"
