Obviously, I am not talking about murder. We can talk about threats and coercion, but the troubling thing is that this comes back again to the famous defence of provocation, and it is applied strictly to one category of murder with a racist connotation or, in any case, to only a small part of the population.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4022170\" data-originallang=\"fr\">I would like my colleague to tell me why this is being applied to that category, where this defence has never managed to prevent a conviction, when this exists for other categories of murder, which are just as unacceptable.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"4022167\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, j'ai \u00e9cout\u00e9 le discours de ma coll\u00e8gue. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4022168\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Les discours des conservateurs ressemblent un peu aux discours de charlatans d'une autre \u00e9poque, et c'est assez d\u00e9solant, qui proposaient un rem\u00e8de \u00e0 une personne en sant\u00e9, en pr\u00e9tendant r\u00e9gler tous les probl\u00e8mes et tous les maux qu'elle pouvait avoir, et m\u00eame donner de l'\u00e9nergie.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4022169\" data-originallang=\"fr\">En r\u00e9alit\u00e9, ce projet de loi cherche \u00e0 suppl\u00e9er \u00e0 une foule d'articles du Code criminel qui pr\u00e9viennent justement les abus li\u00e9s \u00e0 des agressions, et je ne parle \u00e9videmment pas de meurtre. On peut parler aussi de menaces et de contraintes. Ce qui est tr\u00e8s troublant, c'est qu'on revient encore sur la fameuse d\u00e9fense de provocation et on l'applique strictement \u00e0 une cat\u00e9gorie de meurtres \u00e0 connotation raciste, en tout cas, \u00e0 une petite partie de la population seulement.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4022170\" data-originallang=\"fr\">J'aimerais donc que ma coll\u00e8gue me dise pourquoi on l'applique \u00e0 cette cat\u00e9gorie, o\u00f9 cette d\u00e9fense n'a jamais r\u00e9ussi \u00e0 \u00e9viter une condamnation, alors que cela existe pour d'autres cat\u00e9gories de meurtres, ce qui est tout aussi inacceptable.</p>"
