"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"1810742\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Madam Speaker, just like my colleague, I would also like to take this opportunity to talk about Haiti, because I have strong feelings I want to share with the House.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1810743\" data-originallang=\"fr\">I have in my riding an important Haitian community. I have to deal with a lot of immigration and family reunification cases. I have people crying in my office. A lady in my constituency left for Haiti to try and bring her husband back with her, but she was not allowed to enter Canada with her husband even if she is sponsoring him. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1810744\" data-originallang=\"fr\">This government tells us it is doing a lot for Haiti, but it is not true. In real life, there are people waiting and waiting to come to Canada. Women, children, men, and seniors stand under the hot sun, waiting to be allowed to leave for Canada. These are sponsored immigrants who can get a visa, but we cannot seem to speed up processing of their applications.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1810745\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Will the hon. member talk to the <a data-HoCid=\"128705\" href=\"/politicians/jason-kenney/\" title=\"Jason Kenney\">Minister of Citizenship, Immigration and Multiculturalism</a> to urge him to show a more human face to Haitians? </p>",

J'ai \u00e9norm\u00e9ment de dossiers qui concernent l'immigration et le rapatriement des familles. Des gens viennent pleurer dans mon bureau. Une dame est partie en Ha\u00efti chercher son mari, et on ne l'a pas laiss\u00e9e rentrer au pays avec son mari qu'elle parraine.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1810744\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Le gouvernement dit qu'il fait beaucoup pour Ha\u00efti, mais c'est faux. Dans la vie de tous les jours, il y a des gens qui attendent pour venir au Canada. Des femmes, des enfants, des hommes et des personnes \u00e2g\u00e9es attendent dehors, sous le soleil, de partir pour le Canada. Ce sont des personnes parrain\u00e9es, qui peuvent obtenir un visa, mais on n'acc\u00e9l\u00e8re pas le traitement de leurs demandes.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1810745\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Qu'est-ce que le d\u00e9put\u00e9 dira \u00e0 son <a data-HoCid=\"128705\" href=\"/politicians/jason-kenney/\" title=\"Jason Kenney\">ministre de la Citoyennet\u00e9, de l\u2019Immigration et du Multiculturalisme</a> pour qu'il fasse preuve d'un peu plus d'humanit\u00e9 envers Ha\u00efti?</p>"
