"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"3405622\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Mr. Speaker, I want to thank my colleague for her hard work.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3405623\" data-originallang=\"fr\">She just said that she has been working on this for months because she thought that Bill <a data-HoCid=\"6004372\" href=\"/bills/41-1/C-56/\" title=\"An Act to amend the Copyright Act and the Trade-marks Act and to make consequential amendments to other Acts\">C-56</a> was a priority for the government. It is clear that this bill was at the bottom of its list of priorities. The parliamentary session is winding down and this might be one of the last bills that the Conservatives intend to have passed. So much for priorities, since the government is introducing this at the last minute.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3405624\" data-originallang=\"fr\">I wanted to come back to the matter of the additional resources that Canada Border Services Agency will have. Earlier, we saw the <a data-HoCid=\"128705\" href=\"/politicians/jason-kenney/\" title=\"Jason Kenney\">Minister of Immigration</a> working his mathematical magic with the cuts. He would have us believe that nothing happened and that there will be more money.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3405625\" data-originallang=\"fr\">He said that in 2005, the agency had a little over $1 billion; in 2012, it had $1.8 billion, and with the cuts, it would have $1.3 billion. According to the minister's logic, since the numbers are higher than they were in 2005, the government did not reduce the budget. Most ministers use that same logic. They say that if the amount in 2013 is higher than when they came to power in 2006, then there were no cuts. However, the agency we are talking about here today is being forced to do more with less, like many other departments that experienced cuts.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3405626\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Can my colleague talk about the fact that the agency will have more responsibility and fewer resources if Bill <a data-HoCid=\"6004372\" href=\"/bills/41-1/C-56/\" title=\"An Act to amend the Copyright Act and the Trade-marks Act and to make consequential amendments to other Acts\">C-56</a> passes?</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"3405622\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, je remercie ma coll\u00e8gue de son travail acharn\u00e9.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3405623\" data-originallang=\"fr\"> Elle vient de mentionner qu'elle se pr\u00e9pare depuis des mois, puisqu'elle pensait que le projet de loi <a data-HoCid=\"6004372\" href=\"/bills/41-1/C-56/\" title=\"An Act to amend the Copyright Act and the Trade-marks Act and to make consequential amendments to other Acts\">C-56</a> \u00e9tait une priorit\u00e9 du gouvernement. Or il est clair qu'il \u00e9tait au plus bas de sa liste de priorit\u00e9s. En effet, on approche de la fin de la session parlementaire et on dirait qu'il s'agit de l'un des derniers projets de loi que les conservateurs ont l'intention de faire adopter. Alors, c\u00f4t\u00e9 priorit\u00e9, on repassera, puisque le gouvernement pr\u00e9sente cela \u00e0 la derni\u00e8re minute.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3405624\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Je voulais revenir sur la question des ressources suppl\u00e9mentaires dont disposera l'Agence des services frontaliers du Canada. Tant\u00f4t, on a vu le <a data-HoCid=\"128705\" href=\"/politicians/jason-kenney/\" title=\"Jason Kenney\">ministre de l'Immigration</a> jouer \u00e0 des jeux math\u00e9matiques avec les compressions. Il voulait faire croire qu'il ne s'\u00e9tait rien pass\u00e9 et qu'il y aurait plus d'argent.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3405625\" data-originallang=\"fr\"> Il faisait valoir qu'en 2005, l'Agence disposait de 1 milliard et quelques millions de dollars, alors qu'elle disposait de 1,8 milliard de dollars en 2012, et qu'avec les compressions, elle disposerait de 1,3 milliard de dollars. Selon la logique du ministre, puisque les chiffres sont plus hauts qu'en 2005, le gouvernement n'a pas r\u00e9duit le budget. La plupart des ministres ont la m\u00eame logique. Ils disent que si le montant en 2013 est plus \u00e9lev\u00e9 que lorsqu'ils ont pris le pouvoir en 2006, alors ce ne sont pas des compressions. Pourtant, l'agence dont il est question aujourd'hui aura \u00e0 faire plus avec moins, comme beaucoup d'autres minist\u00e8res qui ont subi des compressions.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3405626\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Ma coll\u00e8gue peut-elle parler du fait que l'agence aura plus de responsabilit\u00e9s et moins de ressources si le projet de loi <a data-HoCid=\"6004372\" href=\"/bills/41-1/C-56/\" title=\"An Act to amend the Copyright Act and the Trade-marks Act and to make consequential amendments to other Acts\">C-56</a> est adopt\u00e9? </p>"
