"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"3800893\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Mr. Speaker, I thank my hon. colleague for his question and comments. This bill is really important, and Canada can take the lead on this issue.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3800894\" data-originallang=\"fr\">It is hard to believe that six years after signing this treaty, we are here until midnight with almost no one else around, since the official opposition is the only party taking part in tonight's debate. We have to remember that lives are at stake. The victims are often very vulnerable people, civilians and mostly children. As a mother, I feel we can do a lot to improve this bill. It is not too late. However, we seem to be dealing with a rather thick-headed government that is not willing to acknowledge that it may have erred and that we can do better.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3800895\" data-originallang=\"fr\">I am no expert in cluster munitions, but after reading the documentation and following the recent debates here in the House and in committee, I know that we can truly improve on the bill by deleting clause 11, and we would be saving lives.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"3800893\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, je remercie mon coll\u00e8gue de sa question et de ses commentaires. Ce projet de loi est vraiment important, et le Canada peut \u00eatre un chef de file dans ce dossier.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3800894\" data-originallang=\"fr\">C'est vraiment difficile de croire que six ans apr\u00e8s avoir sign\u00e9 ce trait\u00e9, on est ici jusqu'\u00e0 minuit \u00e0 d\u00e9battre presque tout seuls, parce que l'opposition officielle est le seul parti qui parle ce soir. En fait, des vies sont en jeu. Ce sont souvent des personnes vraiment vuln\u00e9rables qui sont touch\u00e9es, soit des civils et surtout des enfants. Comme m\u00e8re, je trouve qu'on peut faire beaucoup de choses pour am\u00e9liorer ce projet de loi. Il n'est pas trop tard. Toutefois, il me semble qu'on a un gouvernement vraiment t\u00eatu qui ne veut pas admettre qu'il a peut-\u00eatre fait une erreur et qu'on peut faire mieux.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3800895\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Je ne suis pas experte en sous-munitions, mais en lisant tous les documents et en suivant les d\u00e9bats qui ont eu lieu derni\u00e8rement \u00e0 la Chambre et en comit\u00e9, je constate qu'on peut vraiment changer et am\u00e9liorer ce projet de loi en supprimant l'article 11. On peut ainsi sauver des vies.</p>"
