        "en": "<p data-HoCid=\"2619454\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, I wish I could say yes, but, quite frankly, I have not. Actions speak louder than words. I am the associate justice critic for the Liberal Party, so from time to time I am pressed into duty. So far in this session of Parliament, in the limited time I have spent in the justice committee, what I seen does not inspire confidence. I am primarily involved in the veterans affairs committee and the conduct of the party that controls the committee is such that there is not room for consideration of amendments from the other side.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2619455\" data-originallang=\"en\">It strikes me that some of the amendments presented in Bill <a data-HoCid=\"5120829\" href=\"/bills/41-1/C-10/\" title=\"An Act to enact the Justice for Victims of Terrorism Act and to amend the State Immunity Act, the Criminal Code, the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act, the Corrections and Conditional Release Act, the Youth Criminal Justice Act, the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act and other Acts\">C-10</a> were rejected by members in committee, but are now adopted as their own. Let us hope that something like that will not be necessary and that it can be dealt with in committee. There seems to be a will on that side of the House. Let us hope that a new leaf will be turned.</p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"2619454\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, j'aimerais r\u00e9pondre par l'affirmative, mais bien honn\u00eatement, je n'ai pas du tout \u00e9t\u00e9 rassur\u00e9. Les gestes du gouvernement ont plus de poids que ses paroles. Je suis le porte-parole adjoint du Parti lib\u00e9ral en mati\u00e8re de justice, alors je dois parfois monter au front. Ce que j'ai vu au Comit\u00e9 de la justice pendant le peu de temps que j'y ai si\u00e9g\u00e9 depuis le d\u00e9but de la session ne m'a pas inspir\u00e9 confiance. Je m'occupe principalement du Comit\u00e9 des anciens combattants, o\u00f9 la conduite du parti qui le contr\u00f4le ne laisse aucune place \u00e0 l'examen d'amendements propos\u00e9s par l'opposition.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2619455\" data-originallang=\"en\">Ce qui me frappe, c'est que certains des amendements propos\u00e9s au projet de loi <a data-HoCid=\"5120829\" href=\"/bills/41-1/C-10/\" title=\"An Act to enact the Justice for Victims of Terrorism Act and to amend the State Immunity Act, the Criminal Code, the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act, the Corrections and Conditional Release Act, the Youth Criminal Justice Act, the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act and other Acts\">C-10</a> qui avaient \u00e9t\u00e9 rejet\u00e9s par les membres du comit\u00e9 ont depuis \u00e9t\u00e9 adopt\u00e9s comme s'ils les avaient eux-m\u00eames propos\u00e9s. Esp\u00e9rons que rien de ce genre ne sera n\u00e9cessaire et qu'on pourra s'occuper de tout \u00e7a au comit\u00e9. Je sens de la bonne volont\u00e9 de l'autre c\u00f4t\u00e9 de la Chambre. Esp\u00e9rons que nous entamons un nouveau chapitre.</p>"
