"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"1424724\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, the Conservatives seem to believe the right approach is to thicken the border. We can thicken the border all we want, but the bad guys do not come up to the border and ask for an iris scan. They cross the border on snow machines, or bicycles or they walk across the border through areas of the west.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1424725\" data-originallang=\"en\">In fact, I was at the Midwestern legislative conference last year and local politicians in North Dakota and South Dakota universally recognized this. When they start hearing about these border issues, they knew illegal activities were going on between the border points. If we are going to bring illegal substances into the United States, we are not going to bring it through the border. We are going to bring it across the border at another point.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1424726\" data-originallang=\"en\">The member is focusing on different areas, but I think we should be spending more time, as federal MPs, being involved with organizations like the Midwestern legislative conference. We see there is a lot of common ground there because they, like us, agree this is not the way to go.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"1424724\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, les conservateurs semblent croire que la chose \u00e0 faire est de resserrer les mesures de s\u00e9curit\u00e9 \u00e0 la fronti\u00e8re. Nous pouvons rendre la fronti\u00e8re aussi \u00e9tanche que nous le voulons, mais les vilains ne se pr\u00e9sentent pas \u00e0 la fronti\u00e8re pour demander une reconnaissance r\u00e9tinienne. Ils traversent la fronti\u00e8re en motoneige, \u00e0 v\u00e9lo ou \u00e0 pied, dans l'Ouest.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1424725\" data-originallang=\"en\">L'ann\u00e9e derni\u00e8re, j'ai particip\u00e9 \u00e0 la Midwestern Legislative Conference, et des politiciens locaux au Dakota du Nord et au Dakota du Sud l'ont tous reconnus. Lorsqu'ils ont commenc\u00e9 \u00e0 entendre parler de ces questions frontali\u00e8res, ils savaient qu'on menait des activit\u00e9s ill\u00e9gales entre les postes frontaliers. Ceux qui veulent faire passer des produits ill\u00e9gaux aux \u00c9tats-Unis ne traversent pas la fronti\u00e8re aux postes frontaliers. Ils la traversent ailleurs.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1424726\" data-originallang=\"en\">Le d\u00e9put\u00e9 s'attache \u00e0 diff\u00e9rents domaines, mais je crois qu'en tant que d\u00e9put\u00e9s f\u00e9d\u00e9raux, nous devrions travailler plus souvent avec des organisations telles que la Midwestern Legislative Conference. Nous constatons que nous nous entendons \u00e0 bien des \u00e9gards, car comme nous, ces organisations sont d'accord pour dire que ce n'est pas la fa\u00e7on de faire.</p>"
