"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"1424727\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, I thank the member for his observation because we are all trying to be very positive and I do not think it helps the relationship by pointing to the negative. The fact is a border has two aspects to it. There is our side and there is their side. These kind of debates focus on the potential for criminal or suspicious behaviour to be one dimensional and one direction, from us.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1424728\" data-originallang=\"en\">We are trying to ensure that whatever comes between us has at least the appropriate infrastructure to give people in governments a sense of comfort that all issues are being addressed. If there are things that fall by the wayside, they need to be addressed immediately.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1424729\" data-originallang=\"en\">What is falling by the wayside today is the political and diplomatic relationship\u2014</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"1424727\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, je remercie le d\u00e9put\u00e9 de son observation parce que nous essayons tous d'\u00eatre tr\u00e8s positifs et je ne pense pas que nous aidions la relation en soulignant les \u00e9l\u00e9ments n\u00e9gatifs. Le fait est que la fronti\u00e8re a deux c\u00f4t\u00e9s: le n\u00f4tre et le leur. Des d\u00e9bats de ce genre sont ax\u00e9s sur la possibilit\u00e9 que des criminels et des individus douteux aillent dans une seule direction, venant de notre c\u00f4t\u00e9.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1424728\" data-originallang=\"en\">Nous essayons de veiller \u00e0 ce que, quels que soient les probl\u00e8mes qui surviennent, il y ait l'infrastructure n\u00e9cessaire pour donner aux repr\u00e9sentants gouvernementaux l'assurance que les probl\u00e8mes seront r\u00e9solus. Si des \u00e9l\u00e9ments sont laiss\u00e9s pour compte, il faudra s'en charger imm\u00e9diatement.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1424729\" data-originallang=\"en\">Ce qui est laiss\u00e9 pour compte en ce moment, c'est la relation politique et diplomatique...</p>"
