"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"2872767\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, I have to ask the minister this: why is it that a year ago more than 100 Roma refugees from Hungary or from the Czech Republic would have been be accepted here as refugees, and now, under this legislation, if these countries are designated as safe countries, these refugees would not be accepted? A year ago they would have been refugees, but under this safe country designation, they would no longer be refugees. What has changed?</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2872768\" data-originallang=\"en\">From what I hear from the Roma community, conditions are worse, not better. Therefore, why would we allow them to be put at risk?</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"2872767\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, je dois poser au ministre la question suivante: comment se fait-il qu'il y a un an, plus de 100 Roms provenant de la Hongrie et de la R\u00e9publique tch\u00e8que auraient \u00e9t\u00e9 accept\u00e9s comme r\u00e9fugi\u00e9s au Canada et que, maintenant, si ces pays sont d\u00e9sign\u00e9s comme s\u00fbrs en vertu de la mesure l\u00e9gislative, ces gens ne seront pas accept\u00e9s comme r\u00e9fugi\u00e9s? Il y a un an, ils auraient obtenu le statut de r\u00e9fugi\u00e9 mais, selon la d\u00e9signation des pays d'origine s\u00fbrs, ils ne seront plus consid\u00e9r\u00e9s comme des r\u00e9fugi\u00e9s. Qu'est-ce qui a chang\u00e9?</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2872768\" data-originallang=\"en\">D'apr\u00e8s ce que j'ai entendu aupr\u00e8s des membres de la communaut\u00e9 rom, les conditions l\u00e0-bas se sont d\u00e9t\u00e9rior\u00e9es, au lieu de s'am\u00e9liorer. Par cons\u00e9quent, pourquoi mettrions-nous leur vie en p\u00e9ril?</p>"
