        "en": "<p data-HoCid=\"5645379\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madam Speaker, I mentioned at the beginning of my speech that numerous different organizations and groups had come forward, some representing indigenous communities and others representing very different fields of law throughout the country. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5645380\" data-originallang=\"en\">It became very clear from the information provided by Statistics Canada that indigenous people are more likely to enter into the criminal justice system, and that it then becomes a revolving door. I strongly believe that the provisions in this bill are going to further strengthen the ability of the court to deal with lesser offences, so we can stop that cycle and address the serious impact of this system on our indigenous people.</p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"5645379\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madame la Pr\u00e9sidente, j\u2019ai mentionn\u00e9 au d\u00e9but de mon intervention que beaucoup de groupes et d\u2019organisations s\u2019\u00e9taient manifest\u00e9s, certains repr\u00e9sentants des communaut\u00e9s autochtones et d\u2019autres, des domaines tr\u00e8s diff\u00e9rents du droit dans tout le pays.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5645380\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Il est devenu tr\u00e8s \u00e9vident, d'apr\u00e8s l\u2019information fournie par Statistique Canada, que les Autochtones sont plus susceptibles d\u2019avoir affaire au syst\u00e8me de justice p\u00e9nale et qu\u2019ensuite, cela favorise les r\u00e9cidives. Je suis fermement convaincu que les dispositions du projet de loi vont encore renforcer la capacit\u00e9 des tribunaux de traiter des infractions moins graves, afin que nous puissions mettre fin \u00e0 ce cycle et att\u00e9nuer les cons\u00e9quences importantes de ce syst\u00e8me pour les Autochtones.</p>"
