"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"2050614\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, I am tabling today a petition that has been signed by several dozen Canadians from the west: from Surrey, Burnaby and Vancouver, British Columbia, but also from eastern Canada: Toronto, Ottawa and Gatineau, Quebec. All of them are appealing to the Government of Canada to look again at the issue of the deportation order of Jos\u00e9 Figueroa. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2050615\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Figueroa was a resident of El Salvador. He moved to Canada to escape a brutal right-wing military regime. He was involved politically with the FMLN, now the democratically elected and legitimate government of El Salvador. Inexplicably, the government is trying to deport him based on labelling the FMLN, the governing party in El Salvador, as a subversive organization.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2050616\" data-originallang=\"en\">These many petitioners from across Canada beg the government to reconsider this untenable position.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"2050614\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, je pr\u00e9sente aujourd'hui une p\u00e9tition qui a \u00e9t\u00e9 sign\u00e9e par des dizaines de Canadiens qui viennent autant de l'Ouest \u2014 qu'il s'agisse de Surrey, de Burnaby ou de Vancouver, en Colombie-Britannique \u2014 que de l'Est: Toronto, Ottawa ou Gatineau, au Qu\u00e9bec. Tous ces gens demandent au gouvernement de revoir sa d\u00e9cision concernant l'ordonnance de renvoi de Jos\u00e9 Figueroa.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2050615\" data-originallang=\"en\">M. Figueroa habitait au Salvador. Il est d\u00e9m\u00e9nag\u00e9 au Canada pour \u00e9chapper \u00e0 un r\u00e9gime militaire brutal et de droite. Il a pris part aux activit\u00e9s politiques du FMLN, le parti qui forme aujourd'hui le gouvernement l\u00e9gitime et d\u00e9mocratiquement \u00e9lu du Salvador. Pour des raisons qu'on s'explique mal, le gouvernement veut aujourd'hui le renvoyer d'o\u00f9 il vient sous pr\u00e9texte que le FMLN, qui est aujourd'hui \u00e0 la t\u00eate du Salvador, serait une organisation subversive.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2050616\" data-originallang=\"en\">Ces nombreux p\u00e9titionnaires, qui proviennent de partout au pays, supplient le Canada de revoir son inexplicable position.</p>"
