"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"5526077\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madam Speaker, my only regret when the member was in my riding is that he did not stop in for a visit. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5526078\" data-originallang=\"en\">As for what he heard in my riding, I have also heard concerns. Certainly, there is rhetoric that goes back and forth, which is why we need to look at issues as critical as this in the most bipartisan way. That, to me, is what is important.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5526079\" data-originallang=\"en\">I have spoken with gun club presidents, and there is a fear of what is next. What I am offering by way of reassurance is that I have done my homework. I went out, I took the firearms course and did my licensing. I talk with the largest gun dealer in Atlantic Canada every single week. I know their concerns. I have asked those questions, and I have put them forward to the minister. I think that is an important part of being a parliamentarian. However, I do feel assured in looking at the proposed legislation that it would not affect the average gun owner in my riding, whom I have the utmost respect for.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"5526077\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madame la Pr\u00e9sidente, je regrette simplement que le d\u00e9put\u00e9 ne soit pas venu me dire bonjour lorsqu\u2019il est venu dans ma circonscription.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5526078\" data-originallang=\"en\">En ce qui concerne ce qu\u2019il a entendu pendant qu\u2019il y \u00e9tait, je me pose des questions. C\u2019est \u00e9vident qu\u2019il y a des gens pour et des gens contre, et c\u2019est la raison pour laquelle nous devons examiner un projet de loi aussi crucial que celui-ci de fa\u00e7on aussi impartiale que possible. Pour moi, c\u2019est tr\u00e8s important. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5526079\" data-originallang=\"en\">J\u2019ai rencontr\u00e9 des pr\u00e9sidents de clubs de tir, et je sais qu\u2019ils ont des pr\u00e9occupations. Je peux vous dire, en revanche, que j\u2019ai fait mon travail. J\u2019ai suivi le cours de maniement des armes \u00e0 feu et j\u2019ai obtenu mon permis. Je suis en contact chaque semaine avec le plus gros armurier du Canada atlantique. Je connais ses pr\u00e9occupations. J\u2019ai pos\u00e9 des questions et je les ai transmises aux ministres. C\u2019est cela le r\u00f4le d\u2019un parlementaire. Cela dit, je suis convaincue que ce projet de loi n\u2019aura pas de cons\u00e9quences n\u00e9gatives sur les propri\u00e9taires d\u2019armes \u00e0 feu ordinaires de ma circonscription, pour lesquels j\u2019ai le plus grand respect.</p>"
