        "en": "<p data-HoCid=\"5185822\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, my colleague's question illustrates the comprehensive reform that is needed with respect to the Criminal Code, and I am in complete agreement with her. While I was not fortunate enough to sit in the previous Parliament, I did work for the great Jean Crowder. We were opposed to that motive of the government to lump in those kinds of crimes, and I think that is a section that absolutely needs to be looked at. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5185823\" data-originallang=\"en\">Again, I will have to go back to my comments on Bill <a data-HoCid=\"8804045\" href=\"/bills/42-1/C-39/\" title=\"An Act to amend the Criminal Code (unconstitutional provisions) and to make consequential amendments to other Acts\">C-39</a>. We hope that with the government purporting to be serious about criminal justice reform, we get to see some movement on these important bills coming in the near future.</p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"5185822\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, la question de ma coll\u00e8gue illustre bien la r\u00e9forme globale dont on a besoin dans le contexte du Code criminel, et je suis tout \u00e0 fait d'accord avec elle. M\u00eame si je n'ai pas eu la chance de si\u00e9ger \u00e0 la Chambre lors de la derni\u00e8re l\u00e9gislature, j'ai eu l'occasion de travailler pour l'\u00e9minente Jean Crowder. Nous \u00e9tions oppos\u00e9s \u00e0 l'intention du gouvernement d'inclure ce genre de crimes; je pense que c'est un article qui doit absolument \u00eatre examin\u00e9.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5185823\" data-originallang=\"en\">Encore une fois, je dois revenir \u00e0 mes commentaires au sujet du projet de loi <a data-HoCid=\"8804045\" href=\"/bills/42-1/C-39/\" title=\"An Act to amend the Criminal Code (unconstitutional provisions) and to make consequential amendments to other Acts\">C-39</a>. Nous esp\u00e9rons que, puisque le gouvernement pr\u00e9tend \u00eatre s\u00e9rieux au sujet de la r\u00e9forme de la justice p\u00e9nale, nous verrons des progr\u00e8s \u00e0 l'\u00e9gard de ces importants projets de loi dans un proche avenir.</p>"
