"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"4806552\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madam Speaker, the New Democrats have moved forward a number of amendments. Concern has been expressed with regard to the idea behind Bill <a data-HoCid=\"8364795\" href=\"/bills/42-1/C-22/\" title=\"An Act to establish the National Security and Intelligence Committee of Parliamentarians and to make consequential amendments to certain Acts\">C-22</a> and the exemptions provided. Earlier today we heard the government House leader talk about the amendments that were accepted.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4806553\" data-originallang=\"en\"> It is important to recognize that when it comes to the whole idea of exemptions, Canada's legislation is very robust. In fact, to compare us with other countries of the Five Eyes, I would bring New Zealand's act to the attention of members. It allows the government to inform the committee that certain documents or information cannot be disclosed, because in the opinion of the chief executive of the relevant intelligence and security agency such documents contain sensitive information. This is the difference between exemption in New Zealand, which has had a system in place for years now, compared to what we are putting in place for the first time.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4806554\" data-originallang=\"en\">Would my colleague not agree that the legislation before us today is one of the most robust pieces of legislation to ensure Canada has one of the best parliamentary oversight committees in the world?</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"4806552\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madame la Pr\u00e9sidente, les n\u00e9o-d\u00e9mocrates ont propos\u00e9 une s\u00e9rie d'amendements. Leurs objections portent sur le principe qui sous-tend le projet de loi <a data-HoCid=\"8364795\" href=\"/bills/42-1/C-22/\" title=\"An Act to establish the National Security and Intelligence Committee of Parliamentarians and to make consequential amendments to certain Acts\">C-22</a> et les exemptions pr\u00e9vues. Aujourd'hui, nous avons entendu la leader du gouvernement \u00e0 la Chambre nous dire quels amendements ont \u00e9t\u00e9 accept\u00e9s.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4806553\" data-originallang=\"en\">Il est important d'\u00eatre conscient qu'en mati\u00e8re d'exemptions, le projet de loi canadien est tr\u00e8s solide comparativement aux mesures des autres pays du Groupe des cinq. Je voudrais attirer l'attention des d\u00e9put\u00e9s sur la loi de la Nouvelle-Z\u00e9lande, qui permet au gouvernement de ce pays d'informer le comit\u00e9 que certains documents ou certaines informations ne peuvent pas \u00eatre lui \u00eatre communiqu\u00e9s parce que, de l'avis du directeur du service de renseignement et de s\u00e9curit\u00e9 concern\u00e9, ce sont des documents ou des informations sensibles. Voil\u00e0 la diff\u00e9rence entre les exemptions qui existent en Nouvelle-Z\u00e9lande depuis des ann\u00e9es et les dispositions que nous voulons adopter.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4806554\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mon coll\u00e8gue est-il d'accord pour dire que le projet de loi qui nous est soumis aujourd'hui est parmi les plus solides et qu'il permettra au Canada de se doter de l'un des meilleurs comit\u00e9s parlementaires de surveillance au monde?</p>"
