"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"2619458\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, the single biggest concern with respect to the bill is how it will be perceived by the public. If it is perceived in the public as opening the door to vigilantism, we will have done a disservice. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2619459\" data-originallang=\"en\">There are good aspects to the bill. I believe that it will become law given the will that is expressed in the House. If and when it does, it is extremely important that the public understands just exactly what it means and that there be an awareness campaign. As I indicated, if we have shopkeepers feeling that it is open season in terms of protecting their property and that their rights have been vastly expanded, we are going to create more problems than we have solved by this.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"2619458\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, la plus grande pr\u00e9occupation de toutes en ce qui concerne le projet de loi, c'est la fa\u00e7on dont il sera per\u00e7u par la population. S'il est per\u00e7u comme une mesure ouvrant la porte au ph\u00e9nom\u00e8ne du justicier, nous aurons rendu un bien mauvais service. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2619459\" data-originallang=\"en\">N'emp\u00eache que le projet de loi comporte de bons aspects. Je crois qu'il aura force de loi, \u00e0 en juger par la volont\u00e9 exprim\u00e9e \u00e0 la Chambre. Le cas \u00e9ch\u00e9ant, il est tr\u00e8s important qu'on organise une campagne de sensibilisation afin que la population comprenne exactement de quoi il s'agit. Comme je l'ai dit, si les commer\u00e7ants en viennent \u00e0 penser que leurs droits ont \u00e9t\u00e9 consid\u00e9rablement \u00e9largis et que la chasse aux voleurs est ouverte quand il s'agit de prot\u00e9ger leurs biens, nous allons cr\u00e9er plus de probl\u00e8mes que de solutions avec ce projet de loi. </p>"
