"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"5024001\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, I know the member has been following this issue for a number of years, whether it is what happens in Ukraine\u2014something that gets a great deal of discussion in the House\u2014or having a wonderful presentation at the Manitoba legislature with regard to what is happening to the Rohingya. It is important to recognize that Canada plays a very important international role, and I feel that wherever we can do something, we should try to move forward in advocating for human rights. We are a party of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5024002\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Manitoba is the home province of the Canadian Human Rights Museum, so would the member recognize that the Canada does have a strong leadership role and that we should have unanimous support from the House to have influence by bringing solid proposals forward so that Canada can continue to demonstrate that badly needed international leadership on important issues such as this one?</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"5024001\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, je sais que le d\u00e9put\u00e9 suit ce dossier depuis plusieurs ann\u00e9es, qu'il s'agisse de la situation en Ukraine \u2014 un enjeu fort d\u00e9battu \u00e0 la Chambre \u2014 ou de ce que vivent les Rohingyas, un sujet sur lequel on a pu entendre un excellent expos\u00e9 \u00e0 l'Assembl\u00e9e l\u00e9gislative du Manitoba. Nous devons reconna\u00eetre que le Canada joue un r\u00f4le crucial sur la sc\u00e8ne internationale. Selon moi, nous nous devons d'intervenir et de d\u00e9fendre les droits de la personne chaque fois que nous en avons la possibilit\u00e9. D'ailleurs, notre parti est particuli\u00e8rement attach\u00e9 \u00e0 la Charte des droits et libert\u00e9s.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5024002\" data-originallang=\"en\">Signalons aussi que le Mus\u00e9e canadien des droits de la personne se trouve au Manitoba. Le d\u00e9put\u00e9 convient-il que le Canada a un r\u00f4le de premier plan \u00e0 jouer et que la Chambre devrait donner son appui unanime afin que le Canada puisse exercer son influence en pr\u00e9sentant de solides propositions afin de continuer d'assurer un leadership mondial grandement n\u00e9cessaire dans des dossiers cruciaux comme celui-l\u00e0?</p>"
