"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"1921436\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, part of the member's non-support for the bill was premised on his belief that crime statistics were going in a downward trend. I know we hear from chiefs of police from time to time at the justice committee that put that premise somewhat in doubt. Because there is a difference between crime rates and reported crime rates, especially with respect to property, in which often young offenders are involved. Often there is less reporting of property offences.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1921437\" data-originallang=\"en\">Does he have any comment regarding whether he actually believes crime statistics are down or only reported crime.</p>",

Je sais que, de temps \u00e0 autre, des chefs de police qui comparaissent devant le Comit\u00e9 de la justice remettent en question cette croyance. Il existe une diff\u00e9rence entre les taux de criminalit\u00e9 et les taux de crimes signal\u00e9s, surtout en ce qui concerne les infractions contre les biens, lesquelles mettent souvent en cause de jeunes contrevenants. Il arrive souvent que les crimes contre les biens ne soient pas signal\u00e9s.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1921437\" data-originallang=\"en\">Pense-t-il vraiment que les statistiques en mati\u00e8re de criminalit\u00e9 sont en baisse, ou bien s'il ne s'agit en fait que des crimes signal\u00e9s?</p>"
