"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"2979024\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Mr. Speaker, this issue of putting the public interest at risk is an idea that is not explained in the bill. Then there is the issue of serious criminality.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2979025\" data-originallang=\"fr\">We will recall that the Conservatives talk about serious criminality in their bill. The hon. member for <a data-HoCid=\"181257\" href=\"/politicians/craig-scott/\" title=\"Craig Scott\">Toronto\u2014Danforth</a> just mentioned the fact that having six marijuana plants would lead to imprisonment of six months or more and that the Conservatives could consider that serious criminality. I am sorry, but in Canada, the vast majority of the population does not consider having six marijuana plants to be a major crime. People expect there to be some tolerance in that respect. In that sense, this bill lacks balance. </p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"2979024\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, cette question de menace \u00e0 l'int\u00e9r\u00eat public est une notion qui n'est pas expliqu\u00e9e dans le projet de loi. Il y a aussi la question de la grande criminalit\u00e9.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2979025\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Dans leur projet de loi, on se souviendra que les conservateurs parlent de grande criminalit\u00e9. Tout \u00e0 l'heure, mon coll\u00e8gue de <a data-HoCid=\"181257\" href=\"/politicians/craig-scott/\" title=\"Craig Scott\">Toronto\u2014Danforth</a> soulevait le fait que de poss\u00e9der six plants de marijuana entra\u00eenait une peine d'emprisonnement de six mois ou plus et que cela pouvait \u00eatre consid\u00e9r\u00e9 par les conservateurs comme de la grande criminalit\u00e9. Je m'excuse, mais au Canada, la tr\u00e8s grande majorit\u00e9 de la population ne consid\u00e8re pas le fait de poss\u00e9der six plants de marijuana comme un acte criminel de grande envergure. On s'entend qu'on doit avoir une tol\u00e9rance \u00e0 cet \u00e9gard. En ce sens, ce projet de loi manque effectivement de nuance.</p>"
