"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"5478186\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, Saudi Arabia is now the largest non-U.S. destination for Canadian military exports, but how many exports were sent to the U.S.? Well, we do not know, because the Canadian government does not track or regulate these exports. Today we are voting on Bill <a data-HoCid=\"8886296\" href=\"/bills/42-1/C-47/\" title=\"An Act to amend the Export and Import Permits Act and the Criminal Code (amendments permitting the accession to the Arms Trade Treaty and other amendments)\">C-47</a>, which does not address this massive loophole. However, the experts and the 23,000 citizens who recently signed a petition say that this must be fixed before Canada accedes to the Arms Trade Treaty.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5478187\" data-originallang=\"en\">Will the government work with the experts and fix that bill?</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"5478186\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, l'Arabie saoudite est d\u00e9sormais la principale destination non \u00e9tatsunienne pour les exportations militaires canadiennes, mais combien d'armes sont export\u00e9es aux \u00c9tats-Unis? Eh bien, nous l'ignorons parce que le gouvernement canadien ne fait pas le suivi de ces exportations et qu'il ne les r\u00e9glemente pas. Aujourd'hui, nous votons sur le projet de loi <a data-HoCid=\"8886296\" href=\"/bills/42-1/C-47/\" title=\"An Act to amend the Export and Import Permits Act and the Criminal Code (amendments permitting the accession to the Arms Trade Treaty and other amendments)\">C-47</a>, qui ne s'attaque pas \u00e0 cette \u00e9norme \u00e9chappatoire. Toutefois, les experts et les 23 000 citoyens qui ont r\u00e9cemment sign\u00e9 une p\u00e9tition affirment qu'il faut r\u00e9gler ce probl\u00e8me avant que le Canada n'acc\u00e8de au Trait\u00e9 sur le commerce des armes.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5478187\" data-originallang=\"en\">Le gouvernement travaillera-t-il avec les experts et corrigera-t-il ce projet de loi?</p>"
