Les victimes peuvent s'y sentir en s\u00e9curit\u00e9: les criminels sont derri\u00e8re les barreaux. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2288202\" data-originallang=\"en\">Nous souhaiterions que le Bloc, au lieu de s'opposer \u00e0 notre mesure l\u00e9gislative chaque fois qu'il le peut, nous appuie. Nous pourrions alors unir nos efforts pour que ceux qui m\u00e9ritent la prison s'y retrouvent, qu'on parle de crimes en col blanc ou d'autres genres de crimes. </p>"
