"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"5526641\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, near the end of the member's speech, he said that we would do well to keep the issue of crime in mind. On this side of the House, we could not agree more; we need to keep that in mind. However, there is a big flaw in Bill <a data-HoCid=\"9710291\" href=\"/bills/42-1/C-71/\" title=\"An Act to amend certain Acts and Regulations in relation to firearms\">C-71</a>, in that it does not deal with gangs and violent crime; it does not deal with the fact that many of these guns are sourced illegally by theft. What we need is something that will cause the Canadian public to be more safe.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5526642\" data-originallang=\"en\">I met with a number of people at shooting ranges this summer, and talked about safety and training regulations and the background checks. They are eager to comply with all of the existing laws. However, to a person, they said that this particular bill, while it gives the impression of increasing the safety of the Canadian public, would do absolutely nothing on that. If we add to that Bill C-75, with the weakening of many of the sentences for some very violent crimes, such as joining a terrorist group and gangs, these are giving the wrong message.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5526643\" data-originallang=\"en\"> I ask my colleague if this exercise we are going through today is simply an exercise in public relations to try to assure us that the Canadian public is safer with this law, when in fact it would do nothing to increase safety but in the process target many law-abiding citizens.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"5526641\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, vers la fin de son intervention, le d\u00e9put\u00e9 a dit que nous ferions bien de ne pas oublier la question de la criminalit\u00e9. De ce c\u00f4t\u00e9-ci de la Chambre, nous sommes tout \u00e0 fait d'accord; nous devons en tenir compte. Cependant, le projet de loi <a data-HoCid=\"9710291\" href=\"/bills/42-1/C-71/\" title=\"An Act to amend certain Acts and Regulations in relation to firearms\">C-71</a> comporte une grave lacune parce qu'il fait abstraction des gangs et des actes criminels violents et du fait que nombre d'armes sont obtenues ill\u00e9galement, notamment par le vol. Il faut une mesure qui renforcera la s\u00e9curit\u00e9 des Canadiens.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5526642\" data-originallang=\"en\">Cet \u00e9t\u00e9, j'ai rencontr\u00e9 un certain nombre de personnes \u00e0 des champs de tir; j'ai discut\u00e9 avec elles des r\u00e8glements concernant la s\u00e9curit\u00e9 et la formation, ainsi que de la v\u00e9rification des ant\u00e9c\u00e9dents. Ces tireurs sportifs souhaitent respecter les lois existantes. Cependant, toutes sans exception ont dit que le projet de loi C-75 , bien qu'il donne l'impression d'accro\u00eetre la s\u00e9curit\u00e9 des Canadiens, ne ferait absolument rien sur ce plan. Si l'on ajoute \u00e0 cela le fait qu'il pr\u00e9voit des peines moins s\u00e9v\u00e8res pour certains crimes tr\u00e8s violents, comme se joindre \u00e0 un groupe terroriste ou \u00e0 un gang, on constate qu'il envoie le mauvais message.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5526643\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je demande \u00e0 mon coll\u00e8gue si ce que nous faisons aujourd'hui n'est qu'un exercice de relations publiques qui vise \u00e0 nous faire croire que les Canadiens seront plus en s\u00e9curit\u00e9 gr\u00e2ce \u00e0 cette loi, alors qu'en fait elle n'accro\u00eetra en rien la s\u00e9curit\u00e9, mais ciblera plut\u00f4t de nombreux citoyens respectueux de la loi.</p>"
