"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"5503437\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, I want to applaud the minister for his efforts in trying to pull everything together. When we sat on the opposition benches during the debate on Bill <a data-HoCid=\"6842344\" href=\"/bills/41-2/C-51/\" title=\"An Act to enact the Security of Canada Information Sharing Act and the Secure Air Travel Act, to amend the Criminal Code, the Canadian Security Intelligence Service Act and the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act and to make related and consequential amendments to other Acts\">C-51</a>, a great divide was being created. Canadians had serious concerns about their rights and freedoms. At the same time, there was the issue of wanting to feel safe in changing times.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5503438\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Could the minister provide his thoughts on how important it was to strike the right balance? In particular, could he give some attention to a previous legislation he brought forward regarding the parliamentary standing committee that was there to protect the rights of Canadians? </p>",

Lorsque nous si\u00e9gions dans l\u2019opposition pendant le d\u00e9bat sur le projet de loi <a data-HoCid=\"6842344\" href=\"/bills/41-2/C-51/\" title=\"An Act to enact the Security of Canada Information Sharing Act and the Secure Air Travel Act, to amend the Criminal Code, the Canadian Security Intelligence Service Act and the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act and to make related and consequential amendments to other Acts\">C-51</a>, un clivage profond se formait. Les Canadiens s\u2019inqui\u00e9taient s\u00e9rieusement de leurs droits et libert\u00e9s. Ils voulaient en m\u00eame temps se sentir en s\u00e9curit\u00e9 pendant ces temps changeants.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5503438\" data-originallang=\"en\">Le ministre pourrait-il se prononcer sur l\u2019importance de trouver le bon \u00e9quilibre? En particulier, pourrait-il parler d\u2019une mesure ant\u00e9rieure qu\u2019il a pr\u00e9sent\u00e9e concernant le comit\u00e9 sur le comit\u00e9 de parlementaires charg\u00e9 de prot\u00e9ger les droits des Canadiens?</p>"
