I have seen this double-speak from the Conservatives over and over again.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2468528\" data-originallang=\"en\">Can the Conservatives look Canadians in the eye and tell them that people who are smuggling refugees into Canada are on those ship? The smugglers will not be on the ships. Only the refugees will be on the ships. Smugglers will not knowingly jump on these ships to come to Canada along with the refugees.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2468529\" data-originallang=\"en\">In talking about compassion and how we have evolved over the years, I migrated to Canada 31 years ago and it took two years for our family reunification application to pass at that time. Under the Conservative government, we have seen family reunification times grow every year.</p>",

C'est loin d'\u00eatre la premi\u00e8re fois que j'entends ce double discours de la part des conservateurs. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2468528\" data-originallang=\"en\">Les conservateurs peuvent-ils regarder les Canadiens droit dans les yeux et leur affirmer que les passeurs de r\u00e9fugi\u00e9s se trouvent \u00e0 bord des navires? Les passeurs ne se trouvent pas \u00e0 bord des navires; on y trouve uniquement des r\u00e9fugi\u00e9s. Les passeurs n'embarqueraient pas en toute connaissance de cause avec les r\u00e9fugi\u00e9s \u00e0 bord de navires qui se dirigent vers le Canada.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2468529\" data-originallang=\"en\">En ce qui concerne la compassion et la fa\u00e7on dont nous avons \u00e9volu\u00e9 au fil des ans, j'ai immigr\u00e9 au Canada il y a 31 ans, et il a fallu 2 ans \u00e0 ce moment pour que notre demande de regroupement familial soit approuv\u00e9e. Sous les conservateurs, ann\u00e9e apr\u00e8s ann\u00e9e, le d\u00e9lai de traitement des demandes de regroupement familial n'a cess\u00e9 d'augmenter.</p>"
