"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"3985003\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, it is important to recognize that this is a serious issue and discussion we are having. I do not think, nor would I hope, that there is anybody in this House who does not support the fact that we need to ensure the safety of young children or any victim when it comes to sexual exploitation or sexual assaults. However, we need to ensure that we invest our money wisely. We can make all the laws we want and change all the legislation we want, but without the proper resources it would not amount to anything.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3985004\" data-originallang=\"en\"> In a previous intervention, the member's colleague said that sex offenders cannot be rehabilitated. My question is geared toward the prevention and rehabilitation piece because on the government's website it states that research shows that treating sex offenders does make a difference. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3985005\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Does the hon. member support his previous colleague's comments that a sex offender cannot be rehabilitated? Does he not believe that if we invest in prevention and rehabilitation, we would help build a safer society?</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"3985003\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, il est important de reconna\u00eetre que l'enjeu et notre discussion sont importants. Je ne pense pas et je n'esp\u00e8re pas que quiconque \u00e0 la Chambre s'oppose au fait que nous devons assurer la s\u00e9curit\u00e9 des jeunes enfants et de n'importe quelle victime d'exploitation ou d'agression sexuelle. Nous devons toutefois investir notre argent judicieusement. Nous pouvons adopter et modifier toutes les lois que nous voulons, sans ressources ad\u00e9quates cela ne sert \u00e0 rien.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3985004\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Dans une intervention pr\u00e9c\u00e9dente, le coll\u00e8gue du d\u00e9put\u00e9 a d\u00e9clar\u00e9 qu'il est impossible de r\u00e9adapter les d\u00e9linquants sexuels. Ma question porte sur la pr\u00e9vention et la r\u00e9adaptation, car il est \u00e9crit, sur le site Web du gouvernement, que la recherche montre que traiter les d\u00e9linquants sexuels donne des r\u00e9sultats. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3985005\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Le d\u00e9put\u00e9 appuie-t-il les commentaires de son coll\u00e8gue voulant qu'il est impossible de r\u00e9adapter les d\u00e9linquants sexuels? Ne croit-il pas que, si nous investissons dans la pr\u00e9vention et la r\u00e9adaptation, nous contribuerions \u00e0 b\u00e2tir une soci\u00e9t\u00e9 plus s\u00fbre?</p>"
