It has been public since July that there was an international arrest warrant for him and that he was a fugitive wanted by the U.S., yet the government apparently did nothing.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3039776\" data-originallang=\"en\">The Conservatives like to pretend they are tough on crime. Lord knows they cannot deport two Nigerian students fast enough for an honest mistake.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3039777\" data-originallang=\"en\">Did the government take any action to proactively locate and apprehend Mr. Jacobson before October 24 and if not, why not?</p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"3039775\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, m\u00eame si Nathan Jacobson a viol\u00e9 les conditions de sa lib\u00e9ration sous caution aux \u00c9tats-Unis, le gouvernement a envoy\u00e9 des avocats pour n\u00e9gocier sa lib\u00e9ration sous caution. Le mandat d'arrestation international \u00e9mis contre lui et le fait qu'il soit un fugitif recherch\u00e9 par les \u00c9tats-Unis sont connus du public depuis juillet. Pourtant, le gouvernement n'a visiblement rien fait.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3039776\" data-originallang=\"en\">Les conservateurs aiment pr\u00e9tendre qu'ils s\u00e9vissent contre la criminalit\u00e9. Dieu sait qu'ils ne perdent pas de temps lorsqu'il s'agit d'expulser deux \u00e9tudiantes nig\u00e9rianes qui n'ont pourtant commis qu'une erreur de bonne foi.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3039777\" data-originallang=\"en\">Le gouvernement avait-il pris des mesures proactives afin de retrouver et d'appr\u00e9hender M. Jacobson avant le 24 octobre et, sinon, pourquoi ne l'a-t-il pas fait?</p>"
