        "en": "<p data-HoCid=\"1366324\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madam Speaker, there was evidence given from the actions that were taken in the United States with the transportation security clearances. The evidence given at committee by the security companies suggested that some 10% of the workers who were asked to submit to these criminal records checks, which is the main aspect of these clearances, were rejected from working in their chosen field. It is a serious business when 10% of the workers in a particular area are put out of work because of transportation security clearances based on criminal records, which I might remind my hon. colleague are hardly a place to capture terrorists.</p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"1366324\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madame la Pr\u00e9sidente, les mesures adopt\u00e9es aux \u00c9tats-Unis en mati\u00e8re d'habilitations de s\u00e9curit\u00e9 nous servent d'exemple. Selon le t\u00e9moignage rendu par les repr\u00e9sentants des entreprises de s\u00e9curit\u00e9 au comit\u00e9, il semblerait qu'environ 10 p. 100 des travailleurs ayant subi une v\u00e9rification de leur casier judiciaire - ce qui constitue le principal aspect de ces habilitations - ont \u00e9t\u00e9 emp\u00each\u00e9s de travailler dans le domaine de leur choix. C'est grave quand 10 p. 100 des travailleurs d'un domaine en particulier perdent leur emploi \u00e0 cause des habilitations de s\u00e9curit\u00e9 qui se basent sur les casiers judiciaires, ce qui, je le rappelle \u00e0 mon coll\u00e8gue, n'est certainement pas le moyen de capturer des terroristes.</p>"
