"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"3860958\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, with crime in Canada at a 40-year low, why does the member think the federal government would spend hundreds of millions of our tax dollars building 2,700 new prison cells, which it clearly intends to fill with its so-called tough on crime agenda. This, at a time when its counterparts, the Republicans in the southern U.S., have come to see the light of day and have recognized that in fact this not only makes no sense when it comes to good criminal justice but in fact it is bad economics.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3860959\" data-originallang=\"en\"> It undermines the ability of a society to rehabilitate people, to get them back and effectively working in society, rather than paying for their upkeep in the criminal justice system when probably the vast majority have no need to be there whatsoever.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3860960\" data-originallang=\"en\">Can the member explain why our government seems to be so wrong-headed in this regard?</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"3860958\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, puisque la criminalit\u00e9 au Canada est \u00e0 son plus bas niveau en 40 ans, la d\u00e9put\u00e9e peut-elle nous dire pourquoi, selon elle, le gouvernement souhaite d\u00e9penser des centaines de millions de dollars de deniers publics pour construire 2 700 cellules, qu'il a manifestement l'intention de remplir en appliquant son programme de r\u00e9pression de la criminalit\u00e9? Pourquoi veut-il agir ainsi alors que ses homologues, les r\u00e9publicains du Sud des \u00c9tats-Unis, voient maintenant la r\u00e9alit\u00e9 en face et reconnaissent qu'en fait, de telles mesures n'ont aucun sens, non seulement du point de vue de la justice p\u00e9nale, mais aussi du point de vue \u00e9conomique?</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3860959\" data-originallang=\"en\">En agissant ainsi, on compromet la r\u00e9adaptation de ces personnes ainsi que leur r\u00e9int\u00e9gration dans la soci\u00e9t\u00e9, et on les emp\u00eache d'y jouer un r\u00f4le efficace; or, ce serait bien mieux de miser sur ces objectifs que de payer pour maintenir ces gens dans le syst\u00e8me de justice p\u00e9nale, alors que la grande majorit\u00e9 d'entre eux ne devraient probablement m\u00eame pas en faire partie.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3860960\" data-originallang=\"en\">La d\u00e9put\u00e9e peut-elle nous expliquer pourquoi le gouvernement semble prendre d'aussi mauvaises d\u00e9cisions \u00e0 cet \u00e9gard?</p>"
