"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"4806460\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madam Speaker, I join with my colleague from the Conservative Party, the official opposition, in registering serious concern about the government's actions today.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4806461\" data-originallang=\"en\">The experts we have talked to on security and intelligence issues are frustrated by the fact that these amendments, done at the last moment at report stage, weaken the oversight that is available. That we would proceed with only government support for such a critical initiative on national security and intelligence is a matter that should disappoint all Canadians. This is the government's sole response to the controversial Bill <a data-HoCid=\"6842344\" href=\"/bills/41-2/C-51/\" title=\"An Act to enact the Security of Canada Information Sharing Act and the Secure Air Travel Act, to amend the Criminal Code, the Canadian Security Intelligence Service Act and the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act and to make related and consequential amendments to other Acts\">C-51</a>, which the Liberal government, while in opposition, supported. They agree that these amendments would weaken the job parliamentarians would be asked to do.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4806462\" data-originallang=\"en\">Why is the government not willing to allow time for all parties to try to seek consensus on this bill? My colleagues and I are standing ready to work with the hon. House leader and with these experts. Why is the government refusing to work with us?</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"4806460\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madame la Pr\u00e9sidente, je joins ma voix \u00e0 celle de mon coll\u00e8gue du Parti conservateur \u2014 l'opposition officielle \u2014 pour d\u00e9noncer vigoureusement l'attitude du gouvernement.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4806461\" data-originallang=\"en\">Les sp\u00e9cialistes de la s\u00e9curit\u00e9 et du renseignement que nous avons consult\u00e9s n'en reviennent pas que ces amendements \u2014 pr\u00e9sent\u00e9s \u00e0 la derni\u00e8re minute par-dessus le march\u00e9, \u00e0 l'\u00e9tape du rapport \u2014 diluent de la sorte la surveillance qui \u00e9tait pr\u00e9vue. Que seul le gouvernement appuie une initiative touchant des domaines aussi n\u00e9vralgiques que la s\u00e9curit\u00e9 et le renseignement a de quoi d\u00e9cevoir la population canadienne au grand complet. Cette mesure l\u00e9gislative est la seule r\u00e9ponse que les lib\u00e9raux ont \u00e0 offrir au controvers\u00e9 projet de loi <a data-HoCid=\"6842344\" href=\"/bills/41-2/C-51/\" title=\"An Act to enact the Security of Canada Information Sharing Act and the Secure Air Travel Act, to amend the Criminal Code, the Canadian Security Intelligence Service Act and the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act and to make related and consequential amendments to other Acts\">C-51</a>, qu'ils avaient par ailleurs appuy\u00e9 \u00e0 l'\u00e9poque o\u00f9 ils \u00e9taient dans l'opposition. Ils ont eux-m\u00eames admis que ces amendements affaibliraient le mandat des parlementaires faisant partie du comit\u00e9.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4806462\" data-originallang=\"en\">Pourquoi le gouvernement refuse-t-il de laisser aux partis le temps de s'entendre? Mes coll\u00e8gues et moi sommes pr\u00eats \u00e0 nous asseoir avec la leader du gouvernement \u00e0 la Chambre et les sp\u00e9cialistes dont je parlais. Pourquoi le gouvernement refuse-t-il la main que nous lui tendons?</p>"
