"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"5695838\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, for all the rhetoric and hysteria that is now emerging about irregular migration, it is important to understand who these people are. For example, nearly 40% of the people who have presented themselves at our borders seeking asylum are children. Canada's response is to uphold the rule of law to ensure that our processes are fast, fair and final, as well as efficient, and we deal with those individuals to ensure they have adequate housing and shelter and are treated with the humanity that Canadians expect of us.</p>",

Par exemple, pr\u00e8s de 40 % des demandeurs d'asile \u00e0 la fronti\u00e8re canadienne sont des enfants. La r\u00e9ponse du Canada consiste \u00e0 d\u00e9fendre la primaut\u00e9 du droit afin que les processus en place soient rapides, justes, d\u00e9finitifs et efficients. Nous devons aussi veiller \u00e0 ce que ces gens soient plac\u00e9s dans un logement ou un refuge ad\u00e9quat et \u00e0 ce qu'ils soient trait\u00e9s avec humanit\u00e9. C'est ce que les Canadiens attendent de nous.</p>"
