"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"1739940\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, I thank the member for her insight on the conditions that exist over in Afghanistan and for pointing out the fact that this is a terrible tragedy that is happening in the world and a lot of people are suffering because of it.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1739941\" data-originallang=\"en\">The motion before the House is basically pursuant to the defeat of a previous motion indicating that the committee's rights were breached because it did not have access to documents, further stonewalling by the government and it not being able to do its job. That motion was not dealt with. Now we have this opportunity to express more specifically the reason for a public inquiry.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1739942\" data-originallang=\"en\">The <a data-HoCid=\"128697\" href=\"/politicians/lawrence-cannon/\" title=\"Lawrence Cannon\">Minister of Foreign Affairs</a> just spoke and one of the things that he said to us, in addition to all the terrible things that are going on in Afghanistan, was that we are also trying to prevent possible terrorist attacks against Canada. He also said that the 2005 agreement on Afghan detainees was inadequate. If it was inadequate, does that mean that torture of detainees could have happened?</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1739943\" data-originallang=\"en\">Then he said--</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"1739940\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, je remercie la d\u00e9put\u00e9e de nous avoir donn\u00e9 un aper\u00e7u des conditions qui r\u00e8gnent en Afghanistan et d'avoir fait remarquer qu'il s'agit d'une terrible trag\u00e9die qui frappe le monde et qui fait souffrir un grand nombre de gens.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1739941\" data-originallang=\"en\">La motion \u00e0 l'\u00e9tude fait essentiellement suite au rejet d'une motion pr\u00e9c\u00e9dente qui faisait \u00e9tat d'une atteinte aux droits du comit\u00e9 parce que celui-ci n'avait pas acc\u00e8s aux documents et que, le gouvernement continuant de faire de l'obstruction, il \u00e9tait incapable d'accomplir sa t\u00e2che. Cette motion n'a pas \u00e9t\u00e9 d\u00e9battue. L'occasion se pr\u00e9sente maintenant d'expliquer plus en d\u00e9tail la pertinence d'une enqu\u00eate publique.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1739942\" data-originallang=\"en\">Le <a data-HoCid=\"128697\" href=\"/politicians/lawrence-cannon/\" title=\"Lawrence Cannon\">ministre des Affaires \u00e9trang\u00e8res</a> vient de nous dire, outre toutes les choses terribles qui se passent en Afghanistan, que l'on essaie aussi de pr\u00e9venir des attaques terroristes qui pourraient \u00eatre lanc\u00e9es contre le Canada. Il a \u00e9galement dit que l'entente de 2005 concernant les prisonniers afghans \u00e9tait inad\u00e9quate. Si elle \u00e9tait inad\u00e9quate, cela veut-il dire qu'il serait possible que des prisonniers aient \u00e9t\u00e9 tortur\u00e9s?</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1739943\" data-originallang=\"en\">Il a ensuite dit...</p>"
