        "en": "<p data-HoCid=\"5686506\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Mr. Speaker, Canada is jeopardizing the lives of all of the Haitians it is sending back to Haiti in the coming days, weeks and months. It is as simple as that.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5686507\" data-originallang=\"fr\">The country is essentially embroiled in a civil war and the federal government refuses to commit to not deporting anyone to Haiti until the situation is resolved. It must institute a moratorium. It needs to show some humanity and some compassion. It needs to be responsible.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5686508\" data-originallang=\"fr\">I am urging the <a data-HoCid=\"214300\" href=\"/politicians/ralph-goodale/\" title=\"Ralph Goodale\">Minister of Public Safety</a> and his colleague, the Minister of Immigration, not to play around with the lives of Haitians. Those who are here are in need of refuge. Haiti is not safe. We should not wait for someone who was deported to end up a victim of the ongoing violence in that country. We must not wait until it is too late.</p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"5686506\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, la vie de tous les Ha\u00eftiens que le Canada va renvoyer en Ha\u00efti dans les prochains jours, dans les prochaines semaines et dans les prochains mois est menac\u00e9e. C'est aussi simple que \u00e7a.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5686507\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Le pays est pratiquement en guerre civile et le gouvernement f\u00e9d\u00e9ral refuse de s'engager fermement \u00e0 ne d\u00e9porter personne en Ha\u00efti tant et aussi longtemps que la situation ne sera pas corrig\u00e9e. Il faut un moratoire. Il faut de l'humanit\u00e9, du coeur et de la compassion. Il faut \u00eatre responsable.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5686508\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Je demande au <a data-HoCid=\"214300\" href=\"/politicians/ralph-goodale/\" title=\"Ralph Goodale\">ministre de la S\u00e9curit\u00e9 publique</a> et \u00e0 son coll\u00e8gue de l'Immigration de ne pas jouer avec la vie des Ha\u00eftiens. Ceux et celles qui sont ici ont besoin d'un refuge. Ha\u00efti n'est pas s\u00fbr. N'attendons pas que quelqu'un qui a \u00e9t\u00e9 d\u00e9port\u00e9 soit victime des violences qui s\u00e9vissent dans ce pays. N'attendons pas qu'il soit trop tard.</p>"
