        "en": "<p data-HoCid=\"3829571\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, I want to congratulate my new colleague for such moving comments. Clearly he understands this issue very well, as I believe most of us in the House do. I do not think this is about pointing fingers. This is about solutions. That is what we want to see.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3829572\" data-originallang=\"en\">I have stood outside on the steps here in Ottawa in the cold with many of these sisters, mothers, and family members on this very issue. I certainly pledge for my own party and personally that we cannot allow these 1,200 missing women to just disappear and then say, \u201cWell, who knows where they are?\u201d We need to do the work necessary. If that were 1,200 of my constituents or anyone else's constituents, I am sure by now something would have been done. It is a really sad thing to say, but that is the reality.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3829573\" data-originallang=\"en\">When it comes to the national action plan the government has put forward, why are there no resources to match it? We know we can do a lot of talking and a lot of studying, but if we do not have the resources to make real action, it will never happen.</p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"3829571\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, j'aimerais f\u00e9liciter mon coll\u00e8gue de ses commentaires tr\u00e8s \u00e9mouvants. De toute \u00e9vidence, il comprend tr\u00e8s bien le probl\u00e8me, \u00e0 l'instar de la plupart d'entre nous \u00e0 la Chambre, je crois. Je pense que l'heure n'est pas aux reproches, mais aux solutions. Voil\u00e0 ce que nous voulons voir.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3829572\" data-originallang=\"en\">Ici \u00e0 Ottawa, j'ai affront\u00e9 le froid sur les marches ext\u00e9rieures avec beaucoup de soeurs, de m\u00e8res et d'autres membres de familles touch\u00e9es par ce probl\u00e8me. Au nom de mon parti et en mon propre nom, je d\u00e9clare que nous ne pouvons pas laisser 1 200 femmes dispara\u00eetre pour ensuite nous contenter de dire: \u00ab Allez savoir o\u00f9 elles se trouvent. \u00bb Nous devons faire ce qui s'impose. S'il s'agissait de 1 200 \u00e9lecteurs de ma circonscription ou de celle d'un autre d\u00e9put\u00e9, je suis certaine qu'on aurait d\u00e9j\u00e0 pris des mesures. C'est bien triste \u00e0 dire, mais c'est la r\u00e9alit\u00e9.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3829573\" data-originallang=\"en\">Pourquoi n'y a-t-il aucune ressource pr\u00e9vue dans le plan d'action national du gouvernement? Nous pouvons parler abondamment de la question et l'\u00e9tudier longuement, mais aucunes mesures concr\u00e8tes ne seront prises si nous n'avons pas les ressources n\u00e9cessaires.</p>"
