"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"2978609\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, my colleague, the minister, gave a very impassioned ending to his speech today. The official opposition, the NDP, recognizes the need for an efficient and responsive judicial apparatus for removing serious criminals who are not citizens. However, it sticks in my throat when we call them \u201cforeigners\u201d because these are people whom we have admitted into the country and they are permanent residents. They have not gained their citizenship.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2978610\" data-originallang=\"en\"> We absolutely agree that we need to address the loopholes. However, we believe the bill goes too far. There is one part of the bill that sticks in my throat. This new law would relieve the minister, and I find the word \u201crelieves\u201d interesting, of the obligation to consider humanitarian and compassionate considerations at the request of a permanent resident, whom the Conservatives call a \u201cforeign national\u201d. Is this the kind of Canada we want? Why would the government want to relieve the minister of considering the best interests of children in possible deportation cases?</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"2978609\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, le ministre a termin\u00e9 son intervention sur un ton passionn\u00e9 aujourd'hui. L'opposition officielle, le NPD, reconna\u00eet qu'il faut avoir un appareil judiciaire efficace et souple pour expulser des criminels dangereux, qui ne sont pas citoyens du pays. Toutefois, j'accepte mal qu'on parle d'\u00ab \u00e9trangers \u00bb, car m\u00eame si ces personnes n'ont pas obtenu leur citoyennet\u00e9, nous les avons admises au Canada; elles sont r\u00e9sidentes permanentes.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2978610\" data-originallang=\"en\">Nous sommes on ne peut plus d'accord qu'il faut corriger les lacunes. Toutefois, nous croyons que le projet de loi va trop loin. Il y a une partie du projet de loi que je n'arrive pas \u00e0 accepter. Cette nouvelle loi \u00ab d\u00e9gagerait \u00bb \u2014 je trouve le mot \u00ab d\u00e9gagerait \u00bb int\u00e9ressant \u2014 le ministre de l'obligation de tenir compte de la demande d'un r\u00e9sident permanent \u2014 que les conservateurs appellent \u00ab \u00e9tranger \u00bb \u2014 pr\u00e9sent\u00e9e pour des motifs d'ordre humanitaire. Est-ce l\u00e0 le genre de Canada que nous voulons? Pourquoi le gouvernement voudrait-il d\u00e9gager le ministre de la responsabilit\u00e9 de veiller aux int\u00e9r\u00eats sup\u00e9rieurs des enfants dans de possibles cas d'expulsion?</p>"
