"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"5545703\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madam Speaker, I am aware of the fact that we put people in prison in this country primarily for rehabilitation, as well as punishment, that we have professional corrections facilities, and experts who work in the facilities. We know that most people in prison, even those who have committed murder, will eventually be back on the streets. I, personally, would rather see them rehabilitated. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5545704\" data-originallang=\"en\">That is the expert advice and I cannot vote with the Conservatives on this motion. I cannot begin to think of the horrors of what happened and how much I sympathize with Tori Stafford's family and what they are going through. However, we cannot contort all of Canada into an emotional catharsis of putting people in their worst possible conditions.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5545705\" data-originallang=\"en\">That medium-security facility that Terri-Lynne McClintic was moved from was not sufficient to mean that everybody would feel she was having a thoroughly punitive experience, because our system is about rehabilitation.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"5545703\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madame la Pr\u00e9sidente, je sais qu'au Canada, la d\u00e9tention vise surtout la r\u00e9adaptation et le ch\u00e2timent, et que nous avons des services correctionnels professionnels qui emploient des sp\u00e9cialistes. Nous savons que la plupart des d\u00e9tenus, m\u00eame ceux qui ont commis un meurtre, retourneront \u00e9ventuellement dans la soci\u00e9t\u00e9. Personnellement, je pr\u00e9f\u00e8re qu'ils aient pr\u00e9alablement fait un travail de r\u00e9adaptation. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5545704\" data-originallang=\"en\">C'est aussi l'avis des experts. Je ne peux donc pas voter du c\u00f4t\u00e9 des conservateurs sur cette motion. Je ne peux imaginer l'horreur des \u00e9v\u00e9nements et j'ai peine \u00e0 exprimer combien je compatis avec la famille de Tori Stafford. N\u00e9anmoins, on ne peut pas soumettre les gens aux pires conditions possible pour offrir un d\u00e9foulement \u00e0 l'ensemble des Canadiens.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5545705\" data-originallang=\"en\">Transf\u00e9rer Terri-Lynne McClintic de l'\u00e9tablissement \u00e0 s\u00e9curit\u00e9 moyenne o\u00f9 elle \u00e9tait incarc\u00e9r\u00e9e donne l'impression qu'elle ne purge pas une peine suffisamment punitive pour que tous estiment qu'elle re\u00e7oit son d\u00fb, car notre syst\u00e8me est ax\u00e9 sur la r\u00e9adaptation.</p>"
