If I look back at my riding, would the people of my riding be offended if information is shared on their travel status in United States or back in Canada? I do not believe so. I think in a lot of cases people probably would be a bit more cognizant in their travels if they knew that this system was in place. I remember speaking to a lot of my friends when they had over-stayed a bit in the States. I think now that if they knew we were watching them on both sides, they would probably be a little more attentive to their travel plans and follow through on them.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4989240\" data-originallang=\"en\">I believe that if the information shared between security agencies, whether in this country or between our country and United States or Europe, deals with our national security and terrorist activities and major crime issues, it will do only one thing: it will make it safer for the public out there.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4989241\" data-originallang=\"en\">If we look back at the recent storms in the southern United States, it would have helped us to know how many Canadians were in United States at the time. It would give us and our government agencies an opportunity to set up the programs they think they may need if they know that there are 8,000 or 10,000 or 5,000 people there. I think it is very beneficial when we look at the safety of people in all aspects.</p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"4989239\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madame la Pr\u00e9sidente, je ne sais pas trop o\u00f9 le d\u00e9put\u00e9 voulait en venir. Si je prends l'exemple de ma circonscription, est-ce que les habitants de ma circonscription seraient offens\u00e9s que de l'information sur leurs d\u00e9placements aux \u00c9tats-Unis ou au Canada soit communiqu\u00e9e? Je ne le crois pas. Je crois que, dans un grand nombre de cas, les gens seraient un peu plus attentifs s'ils savaient que ce syst\u00e8me est en place. Bon nombre de mes amis m'ont d\u00e9j\u00e0 dit avoir un peu d\u00e9pass\u00e9 la dur\u00e9e de s\u00e9jour autoris\u00e9e aux \u00c9tats-Unis. Je pense maintenant que s'ils savaient que les deux pays gardent l'oeil sur leurs d\u00e9placements, ils seraient sans doute un peu plus attentifs et qu'ils respecteraient davantage leurs plans de voyage.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4989240\" data-originallang=\"en\">Si les renseignements qu'\u00e9changent les organismes de s\u00e9curit\u00e9, qu'il s'agisse de renseignements \u00e9chang\u00e9s entre des organismes au pays ou encore entre le Canada et les \u00c9tats-Unis ou l'Europe, ont trait \u00e0 la s\u00e9curit\u00e9 nationale, au terrorisme ou \u00e0 des activit\u00e9s criminelles graves, ils ne pourront que permettre de mieux prot\u00e9ger le public.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4989241\" data-originallang=\"en\">Si l'on repense aux r\u00e9cents ouragans survenus dans le sud des \u00c9tats-Unis, il nous aurait \u00e9t\u00e9 utile de savoir combien de Canadiens se trouvaient alors aux \u00c9tats-Unis. Cela donnerait aux organismes gouvernementaux l'occasion de mettre en place les programmes dont pourraient avoir besoin les Canadiens, selon que 8 000, 10 000 ou 5 000 personnes se trouvent l\u00e0-bas. Cela serait tr\u00e8s utile pour assurer la s\u00e9curit\u00e9 des gens sur tous les plans.</p>"
