"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"4989233\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madam Speaker, that is an excellent question. Yes, it would have helped the Amber Alert. I was a police officer for 35 years and Canada has been sharing information with the United States for centuries. I worked on a case in 1977 with the United States government on a drug deal. We worked with our counterparts in the Federal Bureau of Investigation and its Federal Drug Act. We solved a case that happened in my riding.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4989234\" data-originallang=\"en\">We shared information with the local community that helped us find criminals coming into the west coast. We worked together, so information is very important.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4989235\" data-originallang=\"en\">In Canada in the last 10 or 12 years, how many murder cases have been solved because of the sharing of DNA evidence? That is a prime example of cases that have come up in which we have prosecuted and convicted people because we have shared information back and forth.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"4989233\" data-originallang=\"en\">Excellente question, madame la Pr\u00e9sidente. Oui, l'alerte Amber aurait pu \u00eatre mise en oeuvre plus efficacement. J'ai \u00e9t\u00e9 policier durant 35 ans, et le Canada \u00e9change de l'information avec les \u00c9tats-Unis depuis des si\u00e8cles. En 1977, j'ai collabor\u00e9 avec le gouvernement am\u00e9ricain sur une affaire de drogue. Nous travaillions alors avec nos coll\u00e8gues du FBI, qui \u00e9taient charg\u00e9s d'appliquer la Federal Drug Act, ou loi f\u00e9d\u00e9rale sur la drogue. Nous avons m\u00eame r\u00e9solu une affaire qui s'\u00e9tait produite dans ma circonscription.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4989234\" data-originallang=\"en\">Nous diffusions l'information pertinente aupr\u00e8s des gens du coin afin qu'ils nous aident \u00e0 d\u00e9busquer les criminels qui arrivaient sur la c\u00f4te Ouest. Nous travaillions main dans la main. Alors, oui, l'information est capitale.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4989235\" data-originallang=\"en\">Au Canada, depuis 10 ou 12 ans, combien de meurtres ont \u00e9t\u00e9 r\u00e9solus parce que nous avions transmis des \u00e9l\u00e9ments de preuve g\u00e9n\u00e9tique \u00e0 nos coll\u00e8gues? Il s'agit d'un excellent exemple de cas o\u00f9 il a \u00e9t\u00e9 possible de tra\u00eener une personne en justice et d'obtenir un verdict de culpabilit\u00e9 contre elle justement parce que nous avions \u00e9chang\u00e9 de l'information.</p>"
