"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"4058442\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, it is National Victims of Crime Awareness Week, yet the victims bill of rights ignores an important group of victims. At committee, Maureen Basnicki, whose husband was killed in the 9/11 attacks, pleaded for Canadian victims of crimes committed abroad to be included under the bill. The government rejected those pleas. Why are Canadian victims, like 9/11 widows, being ignored? Conservatives claim to be focused on terrorists. What about the victims?</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"4058442\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, en cette Semaine nationale de sensibilisation aux victimes d'actes criminels, j'aimerais rappeler que la Charte des droits des victimes fait toujours abstraction d'un groupe de victimes tr\u00e8s important. Devant le comit\u00e9, Maureen Basnicki, dont le mari a \u00e9t\u00e9 tu\u00e9 lors des attaques du 11 septembre 2001, a demand\u00e9 que les victimes canadiennes de crimes commis \u00e0 l'\u00e9tranger soient elles aussi vis\u00e9es par le projet de loi. Le gouvernement a rejet\u00e9 ses arguments. Pourquoi le gouvernement ignore-t-il les victimes canadiennes, notamment les veuves du 11 septembre 2011? Les conservateurs affirment accorder la priorit\u00e9 au terrorisme, mais qu'en est-il des victimes du terrorisme?</p>"
