Imagine. These people are completely impoverished and have no way of defending themselves against this type of illegal action.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2474287\" data-originallang=\"fr\">The government likes to brag about welcoming refugees, so why is it that the Canadian Council for Refugees is opposed to this bill? Why are Amnesty International and the Canadian Bar Association both saying the same thing: that this makes no sense?</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"2474285\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, je remercie mon coll\u00e8gue de sa question. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2474286\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Quand des r\u00e9fugi\u00e9s arrivent au pays sans papier et sans rien parce qu'ils ont fui un pays en guerre ou des situations absolument horribles, on ne peut pas, ensuite, les mettre en d\u00e9tention pr\u00e9ventive tout en leur disant qu'ils ont droit \u00e0 des conseils juridiques. Comme c'est merveilleux! Ces gens sont absolument d\u00e9munis et ils n'auront aucun moyen de se d\u00e9fendre de ce genre d'actions qui sont ill\u00e9gales. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2474287\" data-originallang=\"fr\">On se targue d'accueillir les r\u00e9fugi\u00e9s, mais comment se fait-il que le Conseil canadien pour les r\u00e9fugi\u00e9s soit contre ce projet de loi, qu'Amnistie internationale ou l'Association du Barreau canadien disent tous la m\u00eame chose, que \u00e7a n'a pas de bon sens?</p>"
