"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"4079490\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, I have a quick two-part response.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4079491\" data-originallang=\"en\"> He mentioned that one of the arguments I had made was that we were taking measures that were similar to what our allies did. I was attempting to refute some of the criticisms of the bill.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4079492\" data-originallang=\"en\">However, the most important thing to note is that we are trying to do what Canadians expect of us. Canadians expect that we will do everything we can to protect them from the threats out there, the threats that are very real threats to Canadians and to our allies. We are undertaking to do that with this legislation.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4079493\" data-originallang=\"en\">I will also point out to him that we have a very robust oversight process. What I hear from Canadians, and I think what our government hears from Canadians as well, is that they do not want to see the process of oversight politicized by having politicians involved. I think they want to see it as it currently stands, so there can be proper oversight, but not something that will be politicized.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"4079490\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, j\u2019ai une r\u00e9ponse rapide en deux parties. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4079491\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Le d\u00e9put\u00e9 a dit que l\u2019un des arguments que j\u2019ai avanc\u00e9s consistait \u00e0 dire que nous prenions des mesures semblables \u00e0 celles de nos alli\u00e9s. Je tentais de r\u00e9futer certaines critiques formul\u00e9es contre le projet de loi. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4079492\" data-originallang=\"en\">Toutefois, la chose la plus importante \u00e0 signaler, c\u2019est que nous essayons de faire ce que les Canadiens attendent de nous. Ils veulent que nous fassions tout notre possible pour les prot\u00e9ger contre les menaces, contre des menaces tr\u00e8s r\u00e9elles brandies contre eux et leur alli\u00e9s. C\u2019est ce que nous entendons faire au moyen du projet de loi \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e9tude. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4079493\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Je dirai \u00e9galement au d\u00e9put\u00e9 que nous avons aussi un processus de surveillance tr\u00e8s solide. Ce que les Canadiens me disent et disent aussi au gouvernement, je crois, c'est qu\u2019ils ne veulent pas que le processus de surveillance soit politis\u00e9 par la participation d'\u00e9lus. Ils veulent avoir ce qui existe actuellement pour qu\u2019il y ait une surveillance correcte, mais non politis\u00e9e. </p>"
