        "en": "<p data-HoCid=\"3009746\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, I am sure the member opposite clearly knows there is a difference between combatting terrorism, which is worldwide, and trying to prevent it from coming to Canada or occurring in Canada, and fighting domestic crime in our streets. The member somehow equates them as being one and the same. Of course, they are not.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3009747\" data-originallang=\"en\">She talked about providing more education programs for our youth and investing more money in education, but there is one thing I never heard her say, unfortunately, and maybe it is because she does not think that parents have a responsibility to give good guidance to their children. I think the NDP believes that the government should bring up our kids and not their parents. She knows that the household environment that kids are brought up in is led by the parents. If the parents are not responsible and do not provide a meaningful household environment to bring their kids up in, the children are going to look elsewhere for comfort. It may be a street gang or they may quit school early because they are not being encouraged by their parents to stay in school.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3009748\" data-originallang=\"en\">Simply throwing money at the problem and not getting to the root of the problem of irresponsible parents is not an answer, as New Democrats would have us believe.</p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"3009746\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, je suis certain que la d\u00e9put\u00e9e d'en face sait tr\u00e8s bien qu'il y a une diff\u00e9rence entre lutter contre le terrorisme, ce qui se fait \u00e0 l'\u00e9chelle mondiale, tenter d'\u00e9viter que des actes terroristes n'atteignent le Canada ou y surviennent, et lutter contre la criminalit\u00e9 nationale dans nos rues. Assez curieusement, la d\u00e9put\u00e9e en parle comme d'une seule et m\u00eame chose, ce qui n'est pas le cas, bien entendu.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3009747\" data-originallang=\"en\">Elle a parl\u00e9 d'offrir plus de programmes d'\u00e9ducation \u00e0 nos jeunes et d'investir davantage dans l'\u00e9ducation, mais, malheureusement, il y a une chose que je ne l'ai jamais entendue dire, peut-\u00eatre parce qu'elle ne pense pas que les parents sont responsables d'\u00e9lever correctement leurs enfants. Je pense que le NPD croit que c'est le gouvernement, et non les parents, qui doit \u00e9lever les enfants. La d\u00e9put\u00e9e sait que ce sont les parents qui d\u00e9terminent dans quel environnement les enfants sont \u00e9lev\u00e9s. Si les parents ne sont pas responsables et n'offrent pas un environnement convenable \u00e0 leurs enfants, les enfants iront chercher du r\u00e9confort ailleurs. Ils joindront peut-\u00eatre un gang de rue ou ils abandonneront t\u00f4t leurs \u00e9tudes, faute d'encouragement de la part de leurs parents.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3009748\" data-originallang=\"en\">La solution ne se r\u00e9sume pas \u00e0 donner de l'argent sans aller au fond du probl\u00e8me des parents irresponsables, comme les n\u00e9o-d\u00e9mocrates voudraient nous le faire croire.</p>"
