        "en": "<p data-HoCid=\"3011114\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, I am very pleased to stand today in the House to speak against Bill <a data-HoCid=\"5385776\" href=\"/bills/41-1/S-7/\" title=\"An Act to amend the Criminal Code, the Canada Evidence Act and the Security of Information Act\">S-7, An Act to amend the Criminal Code, the Canada Evidence Act and the Security of Information Act</a>. The genealogy of Bill S-7 takes us back to Bill <a data-HoCid=\"73328\" href=\"/bills/37-1/C-36/\" title=\"An Act to amend the Criminal Code, the Official Secrets Act, the Canada Evidence Act, the Proceeds of Crime (Money Laundering) Act and other Acts, and to enact measures respecting the registration of charities in order to combat terrorism\">C-36</a>, the Anti-terrorism Act, which was tabled by the Liberal government in 2001. The original intent of the Anti-terrorism Act was to provide the Canadian legislative response to the events of September 11, 2001, 9/11 as we now know it. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3011115\" data-originallang=\"en\">There is no question that day should not and indeed cannot be forgotten. The images of passenger planes flying into those iconic towers repeat themselves over and over again in news, television and film, and undoubtedly in the mind as the memories of the many who were personally impacted by that act of terror.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3011116\" data-originallang=\"en\">I note with sadness that my colleague from <a data-HoCid=\"170462\" href=\"/politicians/randall-garrison/\" title=\"Randall Garrison\">Esquimalt\u2014Juan de Fuca</a> and his partner have such memories to bear. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3011117\" data-originallang=\"en\">As these images repeat themselves, we witness the deaths of nearly 3,000 innocents, including 24 Canadians over and over again. That day we awoke to a new kind of threat and a new level of threat. Most importantly, we awoke to a new and profound sense of vulnerability, so we responded.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3011118\" data-originallang=\"en\">Several provisions of Bill <a data-HoCid=\"73328\" href=\"/bills/37-1/C-36/\" title=\"An Act to amend the Criminal Code, the Official Secrets Act, the Canada Evidence Act, the Proceeds of Crime (Money Laundering) Act and other Acts, and to enact measures respecting the registration of charities in order to combat terrorism\">C-36</a> became permanently enshrined in other legislation such as the Proceeds of Crime and Terrorist Financing Act, the Criminal Code and the Access to Information Act. However, several parts of the Anti-terrorism Act had sunset clauses expiring in February 2007. These provisions concerned investigative hearings and recognizance with conditions or preventive arrest provisions. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3011119\" data-originallang=\"en\">These measures were largely without precedence in Canadian law and for good reason. We believe that these provisions run contrary to fundamental principles, rights and liberties enshrined in Canadian law. The rights and liberties violated include the right to remain silent and the right not to be imprisoned without first having a fair trial. We believe that these are important restrictions on the authority of the state because in their absence there is not sufficient protection of an individual's freedom.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3011120\" data-originallang=\"en\">As per the terms of the Anti-terrorism Act, these provisions, in order to be extended, had to be adopted by way of resolution by both Houses of Parliament. However, the resolution was defeated soundly, 159:124 in this House, and these controversial provisions of the Anti-terrorism Act sunsetted.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3011121\" data-originallang=\"en\">We know that the efforts did not end there. Similar bills were proposed in 2008, 2009 and 2010 in the forms of Bill <a data-HoCid=\"3082346\" href=\"/bills/39-2/S-3/\" title=\"An Act to amend the Criminal Code (investigative hearing and recognizance with conditions)\">S-3</a>, Bill <a data-HoCid=\"3735387\" href=\"/bills/40-2/C-19/\" title=\"An Act to amend the Criminal Code (investigative hearing and recognizance with conditions)\">C-19</a> and Bill <a data-HoCid=\"4448899\" href=\"/bills/40-3/C-17/\" title=\"An Act to amend the Criminal Code (investigative hearing and recognizance with conditions)\">C-17</a> respectively. It seems this is an annual, or almost annual rite. Now they are back. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3011122\" data-originallang=\"en\">Time has passed in the interim, a decade roughly since Bill <a data-HoCid=\"73328\" href=\"/bills/37-1/C-36/\" title=\"An Act to amend the Criminal Code, the Official Secrets Act, the Canada Evidence Act, the Proceeds of Crime (Money Laundering) Act and other Acts, and to enact measures respecting the registration of charities in order to combat terrorism\">C-36</a> was brought before the House, and time has been instructive. Since the passage of the Anti-terrorism Act, the recognizance with conditions or preventive arrest provision has never been used. The investigative hearing provision has been used once in the Air India case. Many consider that exercise to have had no positive effect, in fact quite the opposite.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3011123\" data-originallang=\"en\">Paul Copeland, a highly experienced and respected lawyer representing the Law Union of Ontario, speaking about this sole experience with the investigative hearing provision, said to the Standing Committee on Public Safety and National Security in 2010 that the Law Union characterized this episode \u201cas a fiasco, and I think that's an appropriate description\u201d. He went on to say about all the provisions examined: </p>\n<blockquote><p data-HoCid=\"3011124\" data-originallang=\"en\"> The provisions you are looking at here, in my submission, change the Canadian legal landscape.... They should not be passed, and in my view they are not needed. There are other provisions of the code that allow for various ways of dealing with these people. </p>\n</blockquote><p data-HoCid=\"3011125\" data-originallang=\"en\">This seems to be the nub of the issue. Without such extreme provisions, without changing the legal landscape of Canada, without breaching the rights and civil liberties of Canadian citizens, we have successfully protected the safety and security of Canada and Canadians from terrorist attack. These provisions have proven over the course of time to constitute an unnecessary and ineffective infringement.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3011126\" data-originallang=\"en\">As the former NDP justice critic said in the House in 2010:</p>\n<blockquote><p data-HoCid=\"3011127\" data-originallang=\"en\"> When facing a crisis, we as political leaders feel that we have to do something even when all the evidence shows that the structures we have, the strength of our society, the strength of our laws, are enough to deal with it. We passed legislation in early 2002 to deal with terrorism when we panicked. We have learned in the last eight years that there was no need for that legislation. </p>\n</blockquote><p data-HoCid=\"3011128\" data-originallang=\"en\">The only thing to add to that summation is that in the past decade we have learned that we did not need this act.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3011129\" data-originallang=\"en\"> The proof, as they say, is in the pudding. As Denis Barrette, spokesperson for the International Civil Liberties Monitoring Group, noted before the standing committee on Bill <a data-HoCid=\"4448899\" href=\"/bills/40-3/C-17/\" title=\"An Act to amend the Criminal Code (investigative hearing and recognizance with conditions)\">C-17</a> in 2011:</p>\n<blockquote><p data-HoCid=\"3011130\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Since 2007, police investigations have succeeded in dismantling terrorist conspiracies using neither one of the provisions we are talking about today. </p>\n</blockquote><p data-HoCid=\"3011131\" data-originallang=\"en\">He concluded:</p>\n<blockquote><p data-HoCid=\"3011132\" data-originallang=\"en\"> We believe that Canadians will be better served and better protected under the usual provisions of the Criminal Code, rather than others that are completely unnecessary. Reliance on arbitrary powers and a lower standard of evidence can never replace good, effective police work. On the contrary, these powers open the door to a denial of justice and a greater probability that the reputation of innocent individuals...will be tarnished. </p>\n</blockquote><p data-HoCid=\"3011133\" data-originallang=\"en\">We have borne witness to that in this country.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3011134\" data-originallang=\"en\">While these provisions have proven to have no effect on the fight against terror, they have had a profound social impact on Canada and many Canadians. On the eve of 9/11 this year, I showed a film at my local review theatre, the Fox in the Beach. The film is called <em>Change Your Name Ousama</em>. It was produced and directed by local filmmaker Fuad Chowdhury and focuses on a community in my riding of <a data-HoCid=\"170669\" href=\"/politicians/matthew-kellway/\" title=\"Matthew Kellway\">Beaches\u2014East York</a> called Crescent Town. Crescent Town is a very densely populated and diverse community, which is largely made up of Bangladeshi Canadians, most of whom are Muslim. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3011135\" data-originallang=\"en\">The film is not a point of view film. It was made for television and screened at the Montreal film festival. It includes significant interview footage, for example, of the assistant director of CSIS. It also includes footage of our <a data-HoCid=\"78738\" href=\"/politicians/stephen-harper/\" title=\"Stephen Harper\">Prime Minister</a> in a fairly recent CBC interview telling Canadians that the major threat to Canada is still Islamicism. The film also tells the story of what it feels like to be one of about a million Muslim Canadians living in a political climate where their religion has been held to be a threat to the security of their country. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3011136\" data-originallang=\"en\">It is noted in the film by a University of Toronto academic that governments, through their actions, have the power to create stigmas and to marginalize communities. Of this we need, in this place, to be very mindful and sensitive. This is where the film gets its title. It was the advice, amidst the political fallout of 9/11, of a Muslim leader of Crescent Town to members of his community, \u201cChange your name Ousama. Shave your beard. Do not wear your kufi\u201d. In essence, \u201cchange or disguise your identity\u201d.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3011137\" data-originallang=\"en\">Motivated as they have been, bills such as that introduced in 2001 by the Liberals and its partial reprisal today in the form of Bill <a data-HoCid=\"5385776\" href=\"/bills/41-1/S-7/\" title=\"An Act to amend the Criminal Code, the Canada Evidence Act and the Security of Information Act\">S-7</a> have had that impact. They have left so many across this country and in my riding feeling like they have something to apologize for, as if the onus rests on them to demonstrate somehow that they are not terrorists. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3011138\" data-originallang=\"en\">Herein lies a great tragedy. In Bill <a data-HoCid=\"5385776\" href=\"/bills/41-1/S-7/\" title=\"An Act to amend the Criminal Code, the Canada Evidence Act and the Security of Information Act\">S-7</a>, as with Bill <a data-HoCid=\"5452728\" href=\"/bills/41-1/C-36/\" title=\"An Act to amend the Criminal Code (elder abuse)\">C-36</a> before it, we have before us a bill that contradicts not just the legal heritage of this country but a fundamental social and political heritage that takes us back decades at least, a heritage of which we should be proud and protective. The heritage I speak of is the opportunity to maintain and exercise one's culture and religion in Canada freely and still be and feel fully Canadian. This social and political heritage is one that has made us a great place, a place where so many around the world long to come to live.</p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"3011114\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, je suis tr\u00e8s heureux de prendre la parole \u00e0 la Chambre aujourd'hui pour m'opposer au projet de loi <a data-HoCid=\"5385776\" href=\"/bills/41-1/S-7/\" title=\"An Act to amend the Criminal Code, the Canada Evidence Act and the Security of Information Act\">S-7, Loi modifiant le Code criminel, la Loi sur la preuve au Canada et la Loi sur la protection de l\u2019information</a>. L'anc\u00eatre du projet de loi S-7, le projet de loi <a data-HoCid=\"73328\" href=\"/bills/37-1/C-36/\" title=\"An Act to amend the Criminal Code, the Official Secrets Act, the Canada Evidence Act, the Proceeds of Crime (Money Laundering) Act and other Acts, and to enact measures respecting the registration of charities in order to combat terrorism\">C-36</a>, la Loi antiterroriste, avait \u00e9t\u00e9 pr\u00e9sent\u00e9 par le gouvernement lib\u00e9ral en 2001. Initialement, la Loi antiterroriste \u00e9tait la r\u00e9ponse l\u00e9gislative du Canada aux \u00e9v\u00e9nements du 11 septembre 2001. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3011115\" data-originallang=\"en\">Il est ind\u00e9niable que ce jour ne devrait et ne pourra pas \u00eatre oubli\u00e9. Les images d'avions de passagers percutant ces c\u00e9l\u00e8bres tours continuent d'\u00eatre pr\u00e9sent\u00e9es dans les m\u00e9dias, \u00e0 la t\u00e9l\u00e9vision et dans des films, et sont sans aucun doute grav\u00e9es dans l'esprit des nombreuses personnes qui ont \u00e9t\u00e9 personnellement touch\u00e9es par cet acte de terrorisme.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3011116\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je souligne, avec tristesse, que c'est le cas de mon coll\u00e8gue d'<a data-HoCid=\"170462\" href=\"/politicians/randall-garrison/\" title=\"Randall Garrison\">Esquimalt\u2014Juan de Fuca</a> et de son partenaire. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3011117\" data-originallang=\"en\">Chaque fois que nous revoyons ces images, nous assistons \u00e0 la mort de pr\u00e8s de 3 000 innocents, dont 24 Canadiens. Ce jour-l\u00e0, nous avons compris qu'un nouveau genre de menace, d'un niveau in\u00e9gal\u00e9, plane sur nous. Plus important encore, nous nous sommes sentis vuln\u00e9rables, comme jamais auparavant, alors nous avons r\u00e9agi.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3011118\" data-originallang=\"en\">Plusieurs dispositions du projet de loi <a data-HoCid=\"73328\" href=\"/bills/37-1/C-36/\" title=\"An Act to amend the Criminal Code, the Official Secrets Act, the Canada Evidence Act, the Proceeds of Crime (Money Laundering) Act and other Acts, and to enact measures respecting the registration of charities in order to combat terrorism\">C-36</a> ont \u00e9t\u00e9 inscrites, de fa\u00e7on permanente, dans d'autres mesures l\u00e9gislatives, comme la Loi sur le recyclage des produits de la criminalit\u00e9 et le financement des activit\u00e9s terroristes, le Code criminel et la Loi sur l'acc\u00e8s \u00e0 l'information. Plusieurs dispositions de la Loi antiterroristes \u00e9taient toutefois assorties de dispositions de caducit\u00e9 qui ont expir\u00e9 en f\u00e9vrier 2007. Ces derni\u00e8res concernaient les investigations et les engagements assortis de conditions ou les arrestations pr\u00e9ventives. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3011119\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Il s'agissait de mesures sans pr\u00e9c\u00e9dent dans le droit canadien, \u00e0 juste titre d'ailleurs. Nous croyons que de telles dispositions sont contraires aux libert\u00e9s, principes et droits fondamentaux inscrits dans le droit canadien. En effet, elles violent, entre autres, le droit de garder le silence et celui ne pas \u00eatre emprisonn\u00e9 sans avoir subi un proc\u00e8s \u00e9quitable. Nous croyons que ces droits restreignent consid\u00e9rablement le pouvoir de l'\u00c9tat et que sans eux les libert\u00e9s individuelles ne seraient pas convenablement prot\u00e9g\u00e9es.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3011120\" data-originallang=\"en\">En ce qui concerne les dispositions de la Loi antiterroriste, il aurait fallu que les deux Chambres du Parlement adoptent une r\u00e9solution pour en prolonger l'application. Or, cette r\u00e9solution a \u00e9t\u00e9 rejet\u00e9e, par 159 voix contre 124 \u00e0 la Chambre et, par cons\u00e9quent, ces dispositions controvers\u00e9es de la Loi antiterroriste sont devenues caduques.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3011121\" data-originallang=\"en\">Nous savons que leurs efforts ne se sont pas arr\u00eat\u00e9s l\u00e0. Des projets de loi similaires ont \u00e9t\u00e9 pr\u00e9sent\u00e9s en 2008, en 2009 et en 2010, soit les projets de loi <a data-HoCid=\"3082346\" href=\"/bills/39-2/S-3/\" title=\"An Act to amend the Criminal Code (investigative hearing and recognizance with conditions)\">S-3</a>, <a data-HoCid=\"3735387\" href=\"/bills/40-2/C-19/\" title=\"An Act to amend the Criminal Code (investigative hearing and recognizance with conditions)\">C-19</a> et <a data-HoCid=\"4448899\" href=\"/bills/40-3/C-17/\" title=\"An Act to amend the Criminal Code (investigative hearing and recognizance with conditions)\">C-17</a> respectivement. Cela semble \u00eatre un rituel annuel ou quasi annuel. Maintenant, ils sont de retour \u00e0 la charge.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3011122\" data-originallang=\"en\">Environ 10 ans se sont \u00e9coul\u00e9s depuis que la Chambre a \u00e9t\u00e9 saisie du projet de loi <a data-HoCid=\"73328\" href=\"/bills/37-1/C-36/\" title=\"An Act to amend the Criminal Code, the Official Secrets Act, the Canada Evidence Act, the Proceeds of Crime (Money Laundering) Act and other Acts, and to enact measures respecting the registration of charities in order to combat terrorism\">C-36</a>, et pendant ce temps nous avons appris bien des choses. Depuis l'adoption de la Loi antiterroriste, on n'a jamais eu recours \u00e0 l'engagement assorti de conditions ni aux dispositions d'arrestation pr\u00e9ventive. On a eu recours \u00e0 la disposition sur l'investigation une seule fois, dans l'affaire Air India. Bien des gens consid\u00e8rent que cet exercice n'a eu aucune r\u00e9percussion positive, en fait, bien au contraire.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3011123\" data-originallang=\"en\">Au Comit\u00e9 permanent sur la s\u00e9curit\u00e9 publique et nationale en 2010, Paul Copeland, un avocat d'exp\u00e9rience tr\u00e8s respect\u00e9 repr\u00e9sentant le Law Union of Ontario, a dit que cette exp\u00e9rience unique avec la disposition sur l'investigation avait donn\u00e9 lieu \u00e0 un \u00e9pisode que son organisme a qualifi\u00e9 \u00ab de fiasco, et cette description me semble tout \u00e0 fait appropri\u00e9e \u00bb. Il a ajout\u00e9 ce qui suit au sujet de l'ensemble des dispositions examin\u00e9es:</p>\n<blockquote><p data-HoCid=\"3011124\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Selon moi, les dispositions que vous examinez ici en comit\u00e9 auront pour r\u00e9sultat de modifier le paysage juridique au Canada [...] Il ne faut pas les adopter, et \u00e0 mon avis, elles ne sont pas n\u00e9cessaires. D'autres dispositions du Code pr\u00e9voient diff\u00e9rents m\u00e9canismes permettant de traiter de telles personnes. </p>\n</blockquote><p data-HoCid=\"3011125\" data-originallang=\"en\">Cela semble \u00eatre le noeud de la question. Sans avoir eu recours \u00e0 des dispositions aussi extr\u00eames, sans avoir modifi\u00e9 le paysage juridique du Canada, sans avoir viol\u00e9 les droits et libert\u00e9s civiles des citoyens canadiens, nous avons r\u00e9ussi \u00e0 assurer la s\u00e9curit\u00e9 du Canada et des Canadiens et \u00e0 prot\u00e9ger ceux-ci contre une attaque terroriste. Au fil des ans, ces dispositions se sont r\u00e9v\u00e9l\u00e9es une violation inutile et inefficace des droits et libert\u00e9s.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3011126\" data-originallang=\"en\">Comme le porte-parole du NPD en mati\u00e8re de justice l'a dit \u00e0 la Chambre en 2010: </p>\n<blockquote><p data-HoCid=\"3011127\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Devant une crise, les dirigeants politiques que nous sommes jugent que nous devons faire quelque chose m\u00eame lorsque tout d\u00e9montre que nos structures, la force de notre soci\u00e9t\u00e9 et la force de nos lois sont suffisantes pour y faire face. Au d\u00e9but de 2002, nous avons adopt\u00e9 une loi contre le terrorisme dans un mouvement de panique. Ces huit derni\u00e8res ann\u00e9es, nous avons appris que nous n'avions pas besoin de cette loi. </p>\n</blockquote><p data-HoCid=\"3011128\" data-originallang=\"en\">J'ajouterai simplement \u00e0 cela que, ces dix derni\u00e8res ann\u00e9es, nous avons appris que nous n'avions pas besoin de cette loi. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3011129\" data-originallang=\"en\">Les faits sont \u00e9loquents. Comme l'a indiqu\u00e9 Denis Barrette, porte-parole de la Coalition pour la surveillance internationale des libert\u00e9s civiles, au comit\u00e9 permanent charg\u00e9 de l'examen du projet de loi <a data-HoCid=\"4448899\" href=\"/bills/40-3/C-17/\" title=\"An Act to amend the Criminal Code (investigative hearing and recognizance with conditions)\">C-17</a> en 2011:</p>\n<blockquote><p data-HoCid=\"3011130\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Entre 2007 et aujourd'hui, des enqu\u00eates polici\u00e8res ont r\u00e9ussi \u00e0 d\u00e9manteler des complots terroristes en n'ayant \u00e0 recourir \u00e0 aucune des dispositions qui sont discut\u00e9es ici. </p>\n</blockquote><p data-HoCid=\"3011131\" data-originallang=\"en\">Il a conclu en ces mots: </p>\n<blockquote><p data-HoCid=\"3011132\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Nous croyons que les Canadiens seront mieux servis et prot\u00e9g\u00e9s en ayant recours aux dispositions usuelles du Code criminel plut\u00f4t qu'\u00e0 des dispositions inutiles. L'utilisation de pouvoir arbitraire et d'un rabaissement du niveau de preuve ne peut pas remplacer le travail du policier fait selon les r\u00e8gles de l'art. Au contraire, ces pouvoirs ouvrent la porte au d\u00e9ni de justice et \u00e0 la probabilit\u00e9 marqu\u00e9e d'entacher la r\u00e9putation d'individus innocents [...] </p>\n</blockquote><p data-HoCid=\"3011133\" data-originallang=\"en\">Nous en avons \u00e9t\u00e9 t\u00e9moins dans ce pays. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3011134\" data-originallang=\"en\">M\u00eame si ces dispositions n'ont eu aucun effet sur la lutte contre la terreur, elles ont eu un lourd impact social au Canada et sur les Canadiens. La veille du 11 septembre dernier, j'ai pr\u00e9sent\u00e9 un film intitul\u00e9 <em>Change Your Name Ousama</em> au cin\u00e9ma de r\u00e9pertoire de mon quartier, le Fox in the Beach. Ce film, produit et r\u00e9alis\u00e9 par Fuad Chowdhury, un cin\u00e9aste local, porte sur un secteur de ma circonscription, <a data-HoCid=\"170669\" href=\"/politicians/matthew-kellway/\" title=\"Matthew Kellway\">Beaches\u2014East York</a>, appel\u00e9 Crescent Town. La population, tr\u00e8s dense et cosmopolite, y est surtout compos\u00e9e de Canadiens d'origine bangladaise, en majorit\u00e9 des musulmans. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3011135\" data-originallang=\"en\">Ce film n'est pas un film d'opinion. Il a \u00e9t\u00e9 fait pour la t\u00e9l\u00e9vision et pr\u00e9sent\u00e9 au Festival du film de Montr\u00e9al. Il comprend une bonne partie d'entrevues, notamment du directeur adjoint du SCRS. On peut aussi y voir notre <a data-HoCid=\"78738\" href=\"/politicians/stephen-harper/\" title=\"Stephen Harper\">premier ministre</a> dans une entrevue assez r\u00e9cente accord\u00e9e \u00e0 la CBC, o\u00f9 il dit aux Canadiens que l'islamisme demeure la plus grande menace \u00e0 la s\u00e9curit\u00e9 du Canada. Le film d\u00e9crit aussi ce que c'est que de faire partie du million de Canadiens musulmans vivant dans un climat politique o\u00f9 leur religion est synonyme de menace \u00e0 la s\u00e9curit\u00e9 de leur pays.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3011136\" data-originallang=\"en\">Un professeur de l'Universit\u00e9 de Toronto dit dans le film que les mesures prises par les gouvernements peuvent porter pr\u00e9judice \u00e0 certaines communaut\u00e9s et les marginaliser. Nous devons donc faire tr\u00e8s attention et \u00eatre \u00e0 l'\u00e9coute. Voil\u00e0 d'o\u00f9 vient le titre du film. Parmi les r\u00e9percussions politiques des attentats du 11 septembre, un chef musulman de Crescent Town a conseill\u00e9 aux membres de sa communaut\u00e9 de changer de nom s'ils s'appelaient Oussama, de se faire couper la barbe et de ne pas porter le kufi. Il leur conseillait essentiellement de changer d'identit\u00e9 ou de la dissimuler.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3011137\" data-originallang=\"en\">Quelles qu'en soient les motivations, les projets de loi comme celui qui a \u00e9t\u00e9 pr\u00e9sent\u00e9 en 2001 par les lib\u00e9raux et le projet de loi <a data-HoCid=\"5385776\" href=\"/bills/41-1/S-7/\" title=\"An Act to amend the Criminal Code, the Canada Evidence Act and the Security of Information Act\">S-7</a>, qui le reprend en partie, ont eu de telles r\u00e9percussions. Ils ont donn\u00e9 \u00e0 bien des Canadiens et des gens de ma circonscription l'impression qu'ils doivent s'excuser, comme si c'\u00e9tait \u00e0 eux de d\u00e9montrer qu'ils ne sont pas terroristes.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3011138\" data-originallang=\"en\">C'est une grande trag\u00e9die. Comme c'\u00e9tait aussi le cas du projet de loi <a data-HoCid=\"5385776\" href=\"/bills/41-1/S-7/\" title=\"An Act to amend the Criminal Code, the Canada Evidence Act and the Security of Information Act\">C-36</a> auparavant, nous sommes saisis d'une mesure l\u00e9gislative, le projet de loi <a data-HoCid=\"5452728\" href=\"/bills/41-1/C-36/\" title=\"An Act to amend the Criminal Code (elder abuse)\">S-7</a>, qui ne contredit pas seulement la tradition juridique du Canada, mais aussi une tradition sociale et politique fondamentale qui remonte \u00e0 plusieurs d\u00e9cennies au moins, qu'il faudrait prot\u00e9ger et dont nous devrions \u00eatre fiers. La tradition dont je parle, c'est la possibilit\u00e9 qui existe au Canada de pr\u00e9server sa culture et de pratiquer sa religion en toute libert\u00e9 tout en se sentant pleinement Canadien. C'est ce patrimoine social et politique qui fait du Canada un merveilleux pays o\u00f9 bien des gens du monde entier voudraient venir s'\u00e9tablir.</p>"
