        "en": "<p data-HoCid=\"3810846\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank my colleague from <a data-HoCid=\"170748\" href=\"/politicians/christine-moore/\" title=\"Christine Moore\">Abitibi\u2014T\u00e9miscamingue</a> for her very enlightening remarks.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3810847\" data-originallang=\"fr\">I will be speaking about this bill later, and I must admit that I have mixed feelings on this topic. I feel hopeful, skeptical and perhaps even a bit of afraid of becoming disillusioned.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3810848\" data-originallang=\"fr\">For eight years, the Conservative government has been bragging that it is the champion of victims. We saw it during photos ops and at press conferences. Although this bill does contain some good policy that I will of course support, it seems that there is still a huge gap between the stated objectives and the methods that will be used to attain them.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3810849\" data-originallang=\"fr\">I would like to know whether my colleague shares my view and whether she too is worried that this will set victims up for disappointment?</p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"3810846\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, je remercie ma coll\u00e8gue d'<a data-HoCid=\"170748\" href=\"/politicians/christine-moore/\" title=\"Christine Moore\">Abitibi\u2014T\u00e9miscamingue</a> pour ses propos fort \u00e9clairants.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3810847\" data-originallang=\"fr\"> J'aurai moi-m\u00eame \u00e0 me prononcer sur ce projet de loi plus tard, et j'avoue aborder le sujet avec un m\u00e9lange d'espoir, de scepticisme et, peut-\u00eatre m\u00eame, de peur de la d\u00e9sillusion.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3810848\" data-originallang=\"fr\"> On remarque que, depuis huit ans, le gouvernement conservateur se targue d'\u00eatre le champion de la d\u00e9fense des victimes. On l'a vu lors de s\u00e9ances de photos et de conf\u00e9rences de presse. Bien qu'il y ait dans ce projet de loi de bonnes orientations, que j'appuierai tr\u00e8s certainement, il semble qu'il y ait loin de la coupe aux l\u00e8vres, un \u00e9cart entre les objectifs vis\u00e9s et les moyens mis en oeuvre pour les atteindre.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3810849\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Je voudrais savoir si ma coll\u00e8gue a la m\u00eame perception que moi, si elle craint elle aussi que des illusions soient cr\u00e9\u00e9es et que les victimes soient d\u00e9\u00e7ues \u00e0 la fin du processus.</p>"
