"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"4096473\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, I listened to my colleague's comments very carefully and with great interest. One of the things that struck me when I first entered this precinct was how swiftly the House of Commons guards knew who we were. We walked in the door, and they greeted us with \u201cthank you\u201d or \u201cgood morning\u201d, and I was impressed with that. It created a sense of safety, their knowing who I was and my learning who they were.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4096474\" data-originallang=\"en\">It strikes me as problematic when we rush into or are pushed into a situation where we have people who are there to look out for our welfare, and I thank them for that, but do not know who we are. It seems to me that the key to any successful security issue is everyone knowing who the players are and what their roles are. It is something that is sorely lacking in this situation because of how quickly, and without much forethought, we were pushed into this situation. I wonder if my colleague would like to comment on that.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"4096473\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, j'ai \u00e9cout\u00e9 tr\u00e8s attentivement et avec beaucoup d'int\u00e9r\u00eat les remarques de mon coll\u00e8gue. Ce qui m'a frapp\u00e9 entre autres lorsque j'ai p\u00e9n\u00e9tr\u00e9 dans cette enceinte pour la premi\u00e8re fois, c'est la rapidit\u00e9 avec laquelle les agents de s\u00e9curit\u00e9 de la Chambre des communes savaient qui nous \u00e9tions. Nous avons franchi la porte et ils nous ont adress\u00e9 un \u00ab merci \u00bb ou un \u00ab bonjour \u00bb, ce qui m'a impressionn\u00e9. Le fait qu'ils sachent qui j'\u00e9tais et que j'apprenne \u00e0 les conna\u00eetre a cr\u00e9\u00e9 un sentiment de s\u00e9curit\u00e9.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4096474\" data-originallang=\"en\">Ce que je trouve probl\u00e9matique, c'est lorsque nous agissons \u00e0 la h\u00e2te ou que nous nous retrouvons dans une situation o\u00f9 les gens qui sont charg\u00e9s d'assurer notre bien-\u00eatre, et je les en remercie, ne savent pas qui nous sommes. Je pense que l'essentiel pour assurer la s\u00e9curit\u00e9, c'est que tout le monde sache qui sont les intervenants et quels sont leurs r\u00f4les. C'est quelque chose qui fait cruellement d\u00e9faut ici en raison de la rapidit\u00e9 avec laquelle on nous a entra\u00een\u00e9s dans cette situation, et ce sans y avoir vraiment r\u00e9fl\u00e9chi au pr\u00e9alable. Je me demande si mon coll\u00e8gue aimerait nous faire part de ses observations \u00e0 ce sujet.</p>"
