"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"5646244\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madam Speaker, I thank the member for <a data-HoCid=\"214388\" href=\"/politicians/tom-kmiec/\" title=\"Tom Kmiec\">Calgary Shepard</a> for his contributions in the House.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5646245\" data-originallang=\"en\">With respect to judicial appointments, the <a data-HoCid=\"214321\" href=\"/politicians/jody-wilson-raybould/\" title=\"Jody Wilson-Raybould\">Minister of Justice</a> has appointed 235 judges thus far in each of the past few years. That is more judges than have been appointed by any minister of any political stripe in the last two decades, and it includes 34 judges in the member's province alone.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5646246\" data-originallang=\"en\">The member questions the ability to speed up the processes in compliance with the Jordan decision. I am going to put to him three statistics and I ask for his comments.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5646247\" data-originallang=\"en\">The first statistic is that an administration of justice offence is an offence such as breach of curfew. This type of offence has increased by 8% in the system since 2004. One in 10 incidents reported to the police involved an administration offence and four in 10 cases in adult criminal courts included at least one administration of justice offence.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5646248\" data-originallang=\"en\">Given those statistics would the member opposite agree with me that when we take those types of administration of justice charges, which are criminalized right now and are clogging up the system, and move them to a separate administrative judicial referral hearing, we are addressing the very backlog he has identified as a problem in this country for delivering justice more quickly?</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"5646244\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madame la Pr\u00e9sidente, je remercie le d\u00e9put\u00e9 de <a data-HoCid=\"214388\" href=\"/politicians/tom-kmiec/\" title=\"Tom Kmiec\">Calgary Shepard</a> pour sa contribution \u00e0 la Chambre.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5646245\" data-originallang=\"en\">Concernant les nominations \u00e0 la magistrature, \u00e0 ce jour, la <a data-HoCid=\"214321\" href=\"/politicians/jody-wilson-raybould/\" title=\"Jody Wilson-Raybould\">ministre de la Justice</a> a nomm\u00e9 235 juges au cours de chacune des derni\u00e8res ann\u00e9es, c\u2019est \u00e0 dire davantage que tout autre ministre, toutes all\u00e9geances confondues, au cours des deux derni\u00e8res d\u00e9cennies. Dans la seule province du d\u00e9put\u00e9, 34 juges ont \u00e9t\u00e9 nomm\u00e9s.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5646246\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Le d\u00e9put\u00e9 remet en question la capacit\u00e9 d\u2019acc\u00e9l\u00e9rer le processus de nomination conform\u00e9ment \u00e0 l\u2019arr\u00eat Jordan. Je vais lui pr\u00e9senter trois statistiques et lui demander de les commenter.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5646247\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Les infractions contre l\u2019administration de la justice comprennent, par exemple, le non-respect du couvre-feu. Depuis 2004, ce type d\u2019infraction est en hausse de 8 % dans le syst\u00e8me judiciaire. Un incident sur dix signal\u00e9 \u00e0 la police est une infraction contre l\u2019administration de la justice et quatre cas sur dix port\u00e9s devant les tribunaux criminels pour adultes comprenaient au moins une infraction contre l\u2019administration de la justice.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5646248\" data-originallang=\"en\">Compte tenu de ces statistiques, le d\u00e9put\u00e9 d\u2019en face conviendra-t-il que, si les infractions contre l\u2019administration de la justice, qui sont actuellement criminalis\u00e9es et engorgent le syst\u00e8me, \u00e9taient trait\u00e9es \u00e0 part, au moyen d\u2019une citation \u00e0 compara\u00eetre pour manquement, nous r\u00e9glerions le probl\u00e8me de l\u2019arri\u00e9r\u00e9, qui constitue, selon ce qu\u2019il a lui m\u00eame dit, un probl\u00e8me qui ralentit le processus d\u2019administration de la justice dans notre pays?</p>"
