"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"4079373\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, I share the concern that this bill does not have the necessary and robust oversight that it needs, not on a parliamentary level, a judicial level, and not for the purposes of having public engagement.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4079374\" data-originallang=\"en\">Therefore, I was proud to be one of many Canadians, including four former prime ministers, as well as the member for <a data-HoCid=\"170158\" href=\"/politicians/wayne-easter/\" title=\"Wayne Easter\">Malpeque</a>, to issue an open letter underscoring the need for anti-terrorism law and policy to protect both security and civil liberties, and the need for express and parallel robust oversight, mandated review, sunset clauses and the like. We need that.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4079375\" data-originallang=\"en\">We will continue to work for that. Even after the passage of this bill, I will continue to work with Canadians of all political perspectives to ensure that the objectives of both security and the rights of Canadians are secure.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"4079373\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, je suis bien d\u2019accord pour dire que ce projet de loi ne comporte pas la surveillance robuste dont il a besoin ni au niveau parlementaire ni au niveau judiciaire ni aux fins de son acceptation par le public.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4079374\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Par cons\u00e9quent, je suis fier de compter parmi les nombreux Canadiens, y compris quatre anciens premiers ministres ainsi que le d\u00e9put\u00e9 de <a data-HoCid=\"170158\" href=\"/politicians/wayne-easter/\" title=\"Wayne Easter\">Malpeque</a>, qui ont \u00e9crit une lettre ouverte soulignant le besoin d\u2019une loi et d'une politique antiterroriste prot\u00e9geant aussi bien la s\u00e9curit\u00e9 que les libert\u00e9s civiles, d\u2019une robuste surveillance parall\u00e8le, d\u2019un examen prescrit, de dispositions de caducit\u00e9, et ainsi de suite. Nous avons besoin de tout cela.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4079375\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Nous continuerons \u00e0 travailler dans ce but. M\u00eame apr\u00e8s l\u2019adoption du projet de loi, je continuerai \u00e0 travailler avec les Canadiens de toutes les affiliations politiques pour veiller tant \u00e0 la s\u00e9curit\u00e9 du pays qu\u2019au respect des droits des Canadiens.</p>"
