"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"2892241\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, I am pretty well going to repeat what I said to my hon. friend from the official opposition.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2892242\" data-originallang=\"en\">This sort of vandalism, I am told by veterans today, does not occur very often in Europe. I do not know why that is. There could be any number of reasons, such as the lack of education. The purpose of this bill is to draw to the attention of people of all ages that these sacred places should not be desecrated. That is what they are. They are sacred places to honour our veterans. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2892243\" data-originallang=\"en\">My friend and I are on the same committee with regard to other matters. I respect his position on things, but I have never suggested, nor has the bill ever suggested, that no one believes in restorative justice, apologies or working with Legions. A court can rule on that, but it is going to do so after the people who have been charged and convicted pay $1,000. In other words, I am raising the level. I am taking this out of the usual offences for mischief.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"2892241\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, je vais devoir r\u00e9p\u00e9ter ce que j'ai d\u00e9j\u00e0 dit \u00e0 l'intention de mon coll\u00e8gue de l'opposition. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2892242\" data-originallang=\"en\">Des anciens combattants me disent qu'on ne voit pas souvent ce genre de vandalisme en Europe. Je ne sais pas pourquoi. Il peut y avoir diverses raisons, dont le manque de sensibilisation. Ce projet de loi a pour but d'attirer l'attention des gens de tous \u00e2ges sur le fait qu'il ne faut pas profaner ces lieux sacr\u00e9s. Car c'est ce qu'ils sont. Ce sont des lieux sacr\u00e9s o\u00f9 rendre hommage \u00e0 nos anciens combattants. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2892243\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mon coll\u00e8gue et moi sommes membres d'un comit\u00e9 qui se penche sur d'autres sujets. Je respecte son opinion, mais je n'ai jamais laiss\u00e9 entendre, pas plus que ce projet de loi d'ailleurs, que personne ne croit dans la justice r\u00e9paratrice, les excuses ou le temps pass\u00e9 aupr\u00e8s de la L\u00e9gion royale canadienne. Un tribunal peut se prononcer \u00e0 ce sujet, mais ce sera apr\u00e8s avoir condamn\u00e9 les d\u00e9linquants \u00e0 une amende de 1 000 $. Autrement dit, je rel\u00e8ve la barre. Je fais en sorte qu'un tel geste ne soit plus consid\u00e9r\u00e9 comme un simple m\u00e9fait.</p>"
