"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"3011143\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, there is a contradiction here that one cannot ignore. The community of Crescent Town is what we call in Toronto a priority community. It is a place that has been designated as having structural poverty and is in need of extra intervention, yet that intervention does not come easily.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3011144\" data-originallang=\"en\"> As my colleague notes, the social services that these communities rely on, such as settlement services for recent immigrants, have been cut and are very difficult to come by. We have a federal government that has become absent from cities in this country and does not support them. The policing that this community needs to deal with crime is not available when it needs it.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3011145\" data-originallang=\"en\"> We note too, in terms of the contradictions here, that there have been a number of cuts on the security front. On the front line of border crossings, 325 jobs have been cut. These are very important jobs for the safety and security of these communities because they stop the import of guns into the community and the forms of violence that follow, which are so prevalent.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"3011143\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, on doit absolument faire ressortir cette contradiction. \u00c0 Toronto, Crescent Town est jug\u00e9 comme un quartier prioritaire. On consid\u00e8re qu'il doit faire face \u00e0 un probl\u00e8me structurel de pauvret\u00e9 et qu'il a besoin d'interventions suppl\u00e9mentaires. Pourtant, il est difficile d'obtenir ces interventions.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3011144\" data-originallang=\"en\">Comme mon coll\u00e8gue l'a fait remarquer, les services sociaux dont d\u00e9pendent ces collectivit\u00e9s, tels que les services d'\u00e9tablissement destin\u00e9s aux immigrants r\u00e9cents, ont fait l'objet de compressions et sont tr\u00e8s difficiles \u00e0 obtenir. Le gouvernement f\u00e9d\u00e9ral est absent des villes du pays et il ne les appuie pas. Ce quartier ne peut pas obtenir les services de police dont il a besoin pour lutter contre la criminalit\u00e9.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3011145\" data-originallang=\"en\">Toujours au sujet des contradictions, on remarque que des compressions ont \u00e9t\u00e9 apport\u00e9es sur le plan de la s\u00e9curit\u00e9. En effet, on a aboli 325 postes sur la premi\u00e8re ligne des postes frontaliers terrestres. Il s'agit de postes tr\u00e8s importants pour la s\u00e9curit\u00e9 de ces collectivit\u00e9s, car ils permettent d'enrayer l'importation d'armes \u00e0 feu et les actes de violence qui s'ensuivent, lesquels sont aussi tr\u00e8s r\u00e9pandus.</p>"
