        "en": "<p data-HoCid=\"3300104\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, I thank the member for the great question as well as being a good defenceman this year when we played hockey. I wanted to acknowledge that.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3300105\" data-originallang=\"en\">What is very important is the trail that follows the individual afterward.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3300106\" data-originallang=\"en\">Also, that is an interesting and important point about having to engage the legal system. We often see people who are exiting the military transition to some other type of occupation. Having to do that with a lawyer in tow would be a great burden on those individuals. That really shows what needs to be improved by the bill. One of two things would happen. They would either go without legal defence if they could not afford it, or they would spend some of their resources on that defence, as opposed to on training and transitioning to another occupation.</p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"3300104\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, je remercie le d\u00e9put\u00e9 de son excellente question. Je tiens aussi \u00e0 signaler que, cette ann\u00e9e, il nous a montr\u00e9 qu'il \u00e9tait un bon d\u00e9fenseur au hockey.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3300105\" data-originallang=\"en\">Il est tr\u00e8s important de souligner les cons\u00e9quences avec lesquelles le militaire devra composer par la suite.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3300106\" data-originallang=\"en\">Aussi, le d\u00e9put\u00e9 a soulev\u00e9 un point \u00e0 la fois int\u00e9ressant et important au sujet du recours au syst\u00e8me juridique. Souvent, des gens qui quittent l'arm\u00e9e font la transition vers un autre type de profession. Or, l'obligation de faire intervenir un avocat leur impose un fardeau tr\u00e8s lourd. On se rend donc compte de ce qu'il faut am\u00e9liorer avec le projet de loi. De deux choses l'une: ou bien, s'il n'en a pas les moyens, le militaire doit se passer d'une d\u00e9fense juridique, ou bien il doit consacrer une partie de ses ressources financi\u00e8res \u00e0 cette d\u00e9fense, plut\u00f4t qu'\u00e0 des activit\u00e9s de formation et de transition vers une nouvelle profession.</p>"
