"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"3963144\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, I am going through the bill and I am a little puzzled how, in the actual provisions of the bill, the government is professing that this is a new mechanism whereby any victim of a crime can go through a procedure and participate, whether investigation or prosecution, in the course of the trial. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3963145\" data-originallang=\"en\">However, this bill only has a procedure for the federal departments or agencies to establish a complaints system and, as we all know in this place, the Criminal Code is actually investigating and prosecuting by provincial and territorial authorities. Section 26 does say that victims must go to a territorial or provincial entity if they cannot get recourse elsewhere.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3963146\" data-originallang=\"en\">Can the member tell us how exactly this law would actually enable Canadian citizens to file a complaint or participate in that case?</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"3963144\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, en lisant le projet de loi, je n'arrive pas \u00e0 comprendre comment, d'apr\u00e8s les dispositions qu'il contient, le gouvernement peut dire que c'est un nouveau m\u00e9canisme par lequel toutes les victimes d'acte criminel pourront entamer une proc\u00e9dure, que ce soit une enqu\u00eate ou une poursuite, et y participer durant le proc\u00e8s.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3963145\" data-originallang=\"en\">Or, ce projet de loi pr\u00e9voit seulement une proc\u00e9dure permettant aux agences et aux minist\u00e8res f\u00e9d\u00e9raux de cr\u00e9er un syst\u00e8me de traitement des plaintes. Or, comme nous le savons tous ici, ce sont les autorit\u00e9s provinciales et territoriales qui s'occupent des enqu\u00eates et des poursuites en vertu du Code criminel. L'article 26 dit bien que les victimes doivent s'adresser \u00e0 une entit\u00e9 provinciale ou territoriale si elles n'ont pas de recours ailleurs.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3963146\" data-originallang=\"en\">Le d\u00e9put\u00e9 peut-il nous dire comment au juste cette mesure l\u00e9gislative permettra aux citoyens canadiens de porter plainte ou de participer dans ce cas-l\u00e0?</p>"
