"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"2041777\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Mr. Speaker, in this session we were often told by the Conservatives that they were looking after the victims and that the opposition was only thinking of the rights of criminals. That is obviously the height of partisan propaganda. Asking for fair and balanced laws does not mean that we are somehow in favour of crime.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2041778\" data-originallang=\"fr\">I would like to ask the member if he could identify one bill, introduced in this session, that will help victims. They reason that by increasing sentences they are helping the victims. However, it is of little comfort to victims to know that sentences will be harsher. Can he indicate another bill that helps victims?</p>",

C'est \u00e9videmment de la propagande d\u00e9magogique supr\u00eame. En effet, ce n'est pas parce qu'on demande que les lois soient justes et bien mesur\u00e9es que l'on veut encourager le crime de quelque fa\u00e7on. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2041778\" data-originallang=\"fr\">J'aimerais demander \u00e0 l'orateur s'il pourrait m'indiquer un projet de loi, d\u00e9pos\u00e9 au cours de cette session, qui va aider les victimes. On part du raisonnement voulant que si j'augmente les sentences, j'aide les victimes, ce qui ne donne pas grands avantages aux victimes de savoir que les sentences seront plus fortes. \u00c0 part cela, peut-il me trouver un projet de loi qui aide les victimes?</p>"
