        "en": "<p data-HoCid=\"5370550\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madam Speaker, I thank the member for <a data-HoCid=\"214352\" href=\"/politicians/leona-alleslev/\" title=\"Leona Alleslev\">Aurora\u2014Oak Ridges\u2014Richmond Hill</a> for her service to Canada. She might have missed that I did say we are going to support this bill. I do support the beyond the border initiative, and if she wants me to underscore more for this place, I will do that now. My concerns and my itemized list that I would like to see are similar to what I have suggested her colleague, the <a data-HoCid=\"214300\" href=\"/politicians/ralph-goodale/\" title=\"Ralph Goodale\">Minister of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness</a>, was asking for back in 2011.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5370551\" data-originallang=\"en\"> My wider concern is not that we are working with the United States on the border, but that at a time when presidential orders in Washington are leading to thousands of people illegally crossing into Canada and we are not even addressing that issue, we are going to sign on to a common entry and exit system. That certainly would not have passed muster back in the days of bluster of the <a data-HoCid=\"214300\" href=\"/politicians/ralph-goodale/\" title=\"Ralph Goodale\">Minister of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness</a>, as he was then in the opposition. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5370552\" data-originallang=\"en\">Where are Canadians' assurances with respect to the Hondurans who are in the United States on a short period of time? There is a chance that they will start coming into Canada, because they have a <a data-HoCid=\"214296\" href=\"/politicians/justin-trudeau/\" title=\"Justin Trudeau\">Prime Minister</a> who has flaunted our systems and a government that is unwilling to create a rules-based process. We have the most substantial update to customs legislation in a generation, and I see no plan for our border. I would like to see clear issues in Canada's interest, including respect for our border, in this package with this bill, or at least articulated by the government. At a time when the government is asking us to pass something that is a key priority for the United States, I want to see Canadian priorities advance at the same time.</p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"5370550\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madame la Pr\u00e9sidente, je remercie la d\u00e9put\u00e9e d'<a data-HoCid=\"214352\" href=\"/politicians/leona-alleslev/\" title=\"Leona Alleslev\">Aurora\u2014Oak Ridges\u2014Richmond Hill</a> pour son service envers le Canada. Elle n'a peut-\u00eatre pas compris que j'ai dit que nous allions appuyer ce projet de loi. J'appuie l'initiative Par-del\u00e0 la fronti\u00e8re et si elle veut que j'en souligne l'importance davantage \u00e0 la Chambre, je le ferai d\u00e8s maintenant. Mes pr\u00e9occupations et la liste d\u00e9taill\u00e9e que j'aimerais avoir ressemblent \u00e0 ce que son coll\u00e8gue, le <a data-HoCid=\"214300\" href=\"/politicians/ralph-goodale/\" title=\"Ralph Goodale\">ministre de la S\u00e9curit\u00e9 publique et de la Protection civile</a>, demandait en 2011.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5370551\" data-originallang=\"en\"> La pr\u00e9occupation plus vaste que j'ai n'est pas tant que nous travaillons avec les \u00c9tats-Unis \u00e0 la fronti\u00e8re, mais plut\u00f4t qu'\u00e0 une \u00e9poque o\u00f9 des d\u00e9crets pr\u00e9sidentiels de Washington poussent des milliers de personnes \u00e0 franchir ill\u00e9galement la fronti\u00e8re vers le Canada, alors que nous ne faisons rien pour r\u00e9gler ce probl\u00e8me, nous soyons pr\u00eats \u00e0 adh\u00e9rer \u00e0 un syst\u00e8me commun d'entr\u00e9e et de sortie. Cela n'aurait jamais \u00e9t\u00e9 accept\u00e9 dans le temps des fanfaronnades du <a data-HoCid=\"214300\" href=\"/politicians/ralph-goodale/\" title=\"Ralph Goodale\">ministre de la S\u00e9curit\u00e9 publique et de la Protection civile</a>, lorsqu'il \u00e9tait dans l'opposition. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5370552\" data-originallang=\"en\">O\u00f9 sont les garanties des Canadiens en ce qui a trait aux Honduriens qui sont aux \u00c9tats-Unis pendant une br\u00e8ve p\u00e9riode? Il est possible que ces personnes viennent au Canada parce que nous avons un <a data-HoCid=\"214296\" href=\"/politicians/justin-trudeau/\" title=\"Justin Trudeau\">premier ministre</a> qui a vant\u00e9 nos syst\u00e8mes et un gouvernement qui n'est pas dispos\u00e9 \u00e0 cr\u00e9er un processus fond\u00e9 sur des r\u00e8gles. Nous sommes saisis d'un projet de loi qui propose la plus importante mise \u00e0 jour de la l\u00e9gislation sur les douanes depuis une g\u00e9n\u00e9ration, et je ne vois aucun plan pour notre fronti\u00e8re. J'aimerais y voir des objectifs clairs dans l'int\u00e9r\u00eat du Canada, notamment en ce qui a trait au respect de notre fronti\u00e8re, ou au moins que le gouvernement aborde ces questions. Alors que le gouvernement nous demande d'adopter un projet de loi qui constitue une priorit\u00e9 cl\u00e9 pour les \u00c9tats-Unis, je veux aussi voir que des efforts sont d\u00e9ploy\u00e9s pour faire avancer les priorit\u00e9s canadiennes. </p>"
