        "en": "<p data-HoCid=\"2183729\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, I tried to address that in some of my comments.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2183730\" data-originallang=\"en\">No, I am not one who believes there ought to be criminalization unless there are very egregious examples where someone has done this and done this repeatedly.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2183731\" data-originallang=\"en\">It also suggests to me that if the purpose, particularly as it relates to commercial interests, is that someone is trying to make more money, then the best way to hit them is in the pocketbook. If people are doing this to destroy or become involved in the destruction of someone else's property, I can assure the hon. member that there are already provisions in the Criminal Code, as the hon. member knows. That is, of course, a form of vandalism or theft of intellectual property, and that can be dealt with criminally.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2183732\" data-originallang=\"en\">From a strict commercial point of view, the sanctions in terms of monetary penalties are the way to go. They have to be serious, particularly when there are egregious examples.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2183733\" data-originallang=\"en\">The member has asked a question on international enforcement. I call upon Parliament to begin the process of understanding the various forms of international treaties that exist and to improve on those to ensure that there is no jurisdiction left open for international spammers that affect our businesses.</p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"2183729\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, j'ai d\u00e9j\u00e0 essay\u00e9 d'aborder cette question.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2183730\" data-originallang=\"en\">Non, je ne suis pas de ceux qui croient qu'il faut criminaliser ces activit\u00e9s, sauf dans des cas particuli\u00e8rement flagrants o\u00f9 elles ont lieu \u00e0 r\u00e9p\u00e9tition.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2183731\" data-originallang=\"en\">D'autre part, si le but est de se faire de l'argent, particuli\u00e8rement dans le domaine des affaires, il me semble que les sanctions p\u00e9cuniaires sont tout indiqu\u00e9es. Si le but, cependant, est de d\u00e9truire la propri\u00e9t\u00e9 d'autrui ou de contribuer \u00e0 sa destruction, j'assure au d\u00e9put\u00e9, m\u00eame s'il le sait d\u00e9j\u00e0, que nous pouvons nous pr\u00e9valoir des dispositions actuelles du Code criminel. Ces actes constituent en effet une forme de vandalisme ou de vol de propri\u00e9t\u00e9 intellectuelle qui rel\u00e8vent du code p\u00e9nal.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2183732\" data-originallang=\"en\">D'un point de vue strictement commercial, j'estime que les sanctions p\u00e9cuniaires sont id\u00e9ales. Elles doivent \u00eatre lourdes, cependant, surtout dans les cas extr\u00eames.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2183733\" data-originallang=\"en\">Le d\u00e9put\u00e9 a pos\u00e9 une question sur l'application de la loi \u00e0 l'\u00e9chelle internationale. Je demande au Parlement de se pencher sur les diverses conventions internationales en vigueur et de faire fond sur celles-ci pour faire en sorte qu'il ne reste plus un seul pays dans le monde o\u00f9 les polluposteurs puissent nuire \u00e0 nos activit\u00e9s commerciales en toute impunit\u00e9.</p>"
