        "en": "<p data-HoCid=\"5503521\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, when the member was in the official opposition a number of years ago, and we were the third party at the time, there was a fairly significant debate that took place with respect to 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>. Our <a data-HoCid=\"214296\" href=\"/politicians/justin-trudeau/\" title=\"Justin Trudeau\">Prime Minister</a> made it very clear to Canadians, unlike the New Democrats, that we saw merit in Bill C-51. However, the commitment was that if we were elected, we would fix 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>. There has been a great deal of consultation in every region of our country. There are two pieces of legislation, this one being the second part of it, that deals with and brings an end to 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>. It fulfills an election platform commitment by this <a data-HoCid=\"214296\" href=\"/politicians/justin-trudeau/\" title=\"Justin Trudeau\">Prime Minister</a>.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5503522\" data-originallang=\"en\">My question to my friend and colleague across the way is this. Does he recognize, and I am sure he does, that the NDP amendments went absolutely nowhere when Stephen Harper was Prime Minister? He might not like it, but it is quite possible that there were some problems with the amendments that the NDP were proposing. The point is this. Does he not agree that this is a commitment that the Liberal Party made in the last election, and that this legislation, in good part, is fulfilling that commitment?</p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"5503521\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, il y a quelques ann\u00e9es, lorsque le d\u00e9put\u00e9 \u00e9tait dans l\u2019opposition officielle et que nous \u00e9tions le troisi\u00e8me parti, il y a eu un d\u00e9bat assez important 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>. Notre <a data-HoCid=\"214296\" href=\"/politicians/justin-trudeau/\" title=\"Justin Trudeau\">premier ministre</a> a indiqu\u00e9 tr\u00e8s clairement aux Canadiens, contrairement aux n\u00e9o-d\u00e9mocrates, que le projet de loi avait du m\u00e9rite \u00e0 nos yeux. Mais l\u2019engagement \u00e9tait que si nous \u00e9tions \u00e9lus, nous allions corriger 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>. Il y a eu beaucoup de consultations dans chacune des r\u00e9gions du pays. Il y a deux mesures l\u00e9gislatives, celle-ci \u00e9tant la seconde, portant 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> et y mettant un terme. Cela r\u00e9pond \u00e0 un engagement pris par le <a data-HoCid=\"214296\" href=\"/politicians/justin-trudeau/\" title=\"Justin Trudeau\">premier ministre</a> actuel dans le cadre de son programme \u00e9lectoral.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5503522\" data-originallang=\"en\">Ma question \u00e0 mon ami et coll\u00e8gue d\u2019en face est la suivante. Reconna\u00eet-il, et je suis s\u00fbr que c\u2019est le cas, que les amendements du NPD ne sont all\u00e9s absolument nulle part lorsque Stephen Harper \u00e9tait premier ministre? Il n\u2019aime peut-\u00eatre pas cela, mais il est fort possible qu\u2019il y e\u00fbt certains probl\u00e8mes avec les amendements que le NPD proposait. Ce que je veux dire, c'est ceci: ne convient-il pas qu\u2019il s\u2019agit d\u2019un engagement pris par le Parti lib\u00e9ral lors des derni\u00e8res \u00e9lections et que ce projet de loi, en bonne partie, respecte cet engagement?</p>"
