"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"2483595\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, the reason I raised the issue around the Vietnamese refugees who arrived by boat was in the context of the campaign Amnesty International has started in Australia, where it has a Rethink Refugees campaign that is taking the approach that it is legal by international law to arrive by boat. I understand that the circumstances are different from the MV <em>Sun Sea</em>, but we have had a history in the past of people arriving by boat and becoming productive, contributing, important members of our communities. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2483596\" data-originallang=\"en\">The plea here is to take a look at the desperate situation that many refugees are in when they try to come to Canada. We truly are a land of opportunity, and it is a chance for us to provide that opportunity for refugees.</p>",

Je suis consciente que les circonstances entourant l'arriv\u00e9e du <em>Sun Sea</em> sont diff\u00e9rentes, mais nous avons d\u00e9j\u00e0 vu des gens arriver par bateau et devenir des membres importants, actifs et productifs de la soci\u00e9t\u00e9.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2483596\" data-originallang=\"en\">En fait, nous aimerions qu'on examine de plus pr\u00e8s la situation d\u00e9sesp\u00e9r\u00e9e dans laquelle se trouvent de nombreux r\u00e9fugi\u00e9s qui essaient de venir au Canada. Nous sommes vraiment une contr\u00e9e o\u00f9 tout est possible, et nous avons la chance de pouvoir offrir cette possibilit\u00e9 aux r\u00e9fugi\u00e9s.</p>"
