"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"2290048\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, I appreciated the speech from the member for <a data-HoCid=\"128529\" href=\"/politicians/bill-siksay/\" title=\"Bill Siksay\">Burnaby\u2014Douglas</a>.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2290049\" data-originallang=\"en\">Would the member comment on Newt Gingrich and Pat Nolan, two Republicans from the United States who, in their article, talk about what happened in Texas where it was decided against building more prisons and opted to enhance proven community corrections approaches, such as drug courts. Money was redirected into community treatment for mentally ill and low level drug addicts.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2290050\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Not only have these reforms reduced Texas prison populations, but for the first time there is no waiting list for drug treatment in the state and crime has dropped 10% from 2004 through 2009, reaching its lowest annual rate since 1973.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2290051\" data-originallang=\"en\">Since even Republicans now understand the good merits of the NDP approach of being smart on crime, I would like to ask the member for <a data-HoCid=\"128529\" href=\"/politicians/bill-siksay/\" title=\"Bill Siksay\">Burnaby\u2014Douglas</a> why do the Conservatives not get it?</p>",

De l'argent a \u00e9t\u00e9 r\u00e9investi dans le traitement dans la communaut\u00e9 des toxicomanes malades mentaux et des toxicomanes l\u00e9gers. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2290050\" data-originallang=\"en\">Non seulement ces r\u00e9formes ont permis de faire diminuer la population carc\u00e9rale au Texas, mais en plus pour la premi\u00e8re fois, plus personne n'est en attente d'un traitement contre la toxicomanie dans cet \u00c9tat, et la criminalit\u00e9 y a baiss\u00e9 de 10 p. 100 entre 2004 et 2009, atteignant ainsi son niveau annuel le plus bas depuis 1973. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2290051\" data-originallang=\"en\">Vu que m\u00eame les r\u00e9publicains comprennent maintenant le bien-fond\u00e9 de l'approche intelligente du NPD en mati\u00e8re de criminalit\u00e9, j'aimerais demander au d\u00e9put\u00e9 de <a data-HoCid=\"128529\" href=\"/politicians/bill-siksay/\" title=\"Bill Siksay\">Burnaby\u2014Douglas</a> pourquoi les conservateurs, eux, ne comprennent pas? </p>"
