"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"4078677\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, I for one believe in Canada's institutions, our judicial institutions and our many different law agencies, that are out there. It does not necessarily mean that checks cannot be put in place. I believe that checks need to be in place. Some of those checks range from a simple regulation to our Constitution in the frame of our Charter of Rights and Freedoms.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4078678\" data-originallang=\"en\">There is no doubt there are aspects to the legislation we currently have that could have been amended to narrow some of those definitions, maybe even exclude some. The Liberal Party critic had the opportunity extensively through the committee stage to make suggestions on ideas for potential amendments to the legislation, to bringing forward amendments in itself. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4078679\" data-originallang=\"en\">I would not argue that this is perfect legislation, but I do believe it is in Canadians' best interests that the legislation pass. However, it needs to be changed and a Liberal government\u2014</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"4078677\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, je crois en nos institutions canadiennes, nos institutions judiciaires et les nombreux organismes charg\u00e9s d'appliquer la loi, au Canada. Cela ne veut pas n\u00e9cessairement dire que des m\u00e9canismes de v\u00e9rification ne peuvent pas \u00eatre mis en oeuvre. Je crois que de tels m\u00e9canismes doivent exister. Ils peuvent d\u00e9couler tant\u00f4t d'un r\u00e8glement, tant\u00f4t de l'application de la Constitution, plus particuli\u00e8rement de la Charte canadienne des droits et libert\u00e9s.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4078678\" data-originallang=\"en\">Il ne fait aucun doute que, dans sa forme actuelle, le projet de loi devrait \u00eatre amend\u00e9 pour que certaines d\u00e9finitions soient moins larges ou m\u00eame que des dispositions en soient \u00e9limin\u00e9es. Le porte-parole du Parti lib\u00e9ral a pu faire d'abondantes suggestions, lors de l'\u00e9tude du projet de loi par le comit\u00e9. Il a exprim\u00e9 des id\u00e9es sur les amendements potentiels et a formul\u00e9 lui-m\u00eame des propositions d'amendement.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4078679\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je n'irais pas jusqu'\u00e0 pr\u00e9tendre que c'est un projet de loi parfait, mais je crois qu'il est dans l'int\u00e9r\u00eat des Canadiens qu'il soit adopt\u00e9 et modifi\u00e9. Un gouvernement lib\u00e9ral...</p>"
