"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"2739175\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, my colleague is absolutely right. The immigration system in Canada is very complex. Just saying that we are going to put a whole bunch of legislation together, that we are stopping debate on it and not letting the democratic process run itself out, that we are just going to make safe countries, that we are going to stop people who are coming by boat because there are fake refugees in our country and that we are going to now ignore the parliamentary processes that have been established by ignoring the committee and the work that the citizenship and immigration committee is going to be doing, or is doing, is absolutely another example of the government's black and white easy fix to every problem, \u201cLet's just rewrite the law, because that's what we do\u201d.</p>",

Dire simplement qu'on va regrouper une s\u00e9rie de mesures l\u00e9gislatives, qu'on met un terme au d\u00e9bat \u00e0 leur sujet sans tenir compte du processus d\u00e9mocratique, qu'on va se contenter de nommer des tiers pays s\u00fbrs, qu'on va arr\u00eater les gens qui arrivent par bateau au Canada parce qu'ils ne sont pas de vrais r\u00e9fugi\u00e9s et que dor\u00e9navant on ne tiendra plus compte de la proc\u00e9dure parlementaire \u00e9tablie puisqu'on ne tiendra pas compte du travail que le Comit\u00e9 de la citoyennet\u00e9 et de l'immigration fait ou fera constitue un autre exemple patent de la panac\u00e9e que le gouvernement applique \u00e0 tous les probl\u00e8mes: \u00ab Contentons-nous de r\u00e9\u00e9crire la loi puisque c'est notre t\u00e2che. \u00bb</p>"
