        "en": "<p data-HoCid=\"5791051\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, here we have a bill that is a new iteration of dealing with solitary confinement. Bill <a data-HoCid=\"9057451\" href=\"/bills/42-1/C-56/\" title=\"An Act to amend the Corrections and Conditional Release Act and the Abolition of Early Parole Act\">C-56</a> was tabled almost two years ago, and then we had two court decisions that the government has clearly not complied with. Those two court decisions addressed abuses of what is called administrative segregation but is better known as solitary confinement in federal prisons. The courts found that the abuses were unconstitutional in different ways, and extremely troubling and problematic. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5791052\" data-originallang=\"en\">The government is not only appealing those decisions but also coming forward with a bill it is claiming would get rid of the practice altogether, when in reality, as every stakeholder has said, this is just the same practice under a different name. Every single witness who came to committee, barring officials from the <a data-HoCid=\"214300\" href=\"/politicians/ralph-goodale/\" title=\"Ralph Goodale\">minister</a>'s department, panned this bill. The corrections investigator referred to it as something that was not well thought out. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5791053\" data-originallang=\"en\">Therefore, two years after the first piece of legislation and with two appeals before the courts, why do the Liberals now all of a sudden feel the need to time allocate, when clearly both the consultation that was done and all the thought behind this bill were simply not adequate to address the types of human rights abuses we are seeing too often in our prisons?</p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"5791051\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, nous voici saisis d'un projet de loi qui nous am\u00e8ne \u00e0 nous pencher de nouveau sur la question de l'isolement des d\u00e9tenus. Le projet de loi <a data-HoCid=\"9057451\" href=\"/bills/42-1/C-56/\" title=\"An Act to amend the Corrections and Conditional Release Act and the Abolition of Early Parole Act\">C-56</a> a \u00e9t\u00e9 pr\u00e9sent\u00e9 il y a pr\u00e8s de deux ans, puis les tribunaux ont pris deux d\u00e9cisions que le gouvernement n'a manifestement pas respect\u00e9es. Ces deux d\u00e9cisions judiciaires portaient sur les abus entourant ce qu'on appelle l'isolement pr\u00e9ventif, qui est mieux connu dans les prisons f\u00e9d\u00e9rales sous le nom d'isolement cellulaire. Les tribunaux ont jug\u00e9 que ces abus \u00e9taient inconstitutionnels \u00e0 bien des \u00e9gards, ainsi qu'extr\u00eamement troublants et probl\u00e9matiques.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5791052\" data-originallang=\"en\">Non seulement le gouvernement en appelle de ces d\u00e9cisions, mais il pr\u00e9sente un projet de loi qui vise, selon lui, \u00e0 \u00e9liminer compl\u00e8tement cette pratique alors que, en r\u00e9alit\u00e9, comme l'ont d\u00e9clar\u00e9 tous les intervenants, il s'agit de la m\u00eame pratique, mais sous un autre nom. Tous les t\u00e9moins qui se sont pr\u00e9sent\u00e9s devant le comit\u00e9, \u00e0 part les repr\u00e9sentants du minist\u00e8re dirig\u00e9 par le <a data-HoCid=\"214300\" href=\"/politicians/ralph-goodale/\" title=\"Ralph Goodale\">ministre</a>, ont d\u00e9nonc\u00e9 ce projet de loi. L'enqu\u00eateur correctionnel du Canada l'a qualifi\u00e9 de mesure l\u00e9gislative mal pens\u00e9e.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5791053\" data-originallang=\"en\">La premi\u00e8re mesure l\u00e9gislative a \u00e9t\u00e9 pr\u00e9sent\u00e9e il y a deux ans, et il y a eu deux appels devant les tribunaux. Par cons\u00e9quent, pourquoi les lib\u00e9raux sentent-ils soudainement le besoin de recourir \u00e0 l'attribution de temps quand il est \u00e9vident que les consultations et la r\u00e9flexion n'ont pas \u00e9t\u00e9 assez approfondies pour engendrer un projet de loi apte \u00e0 pr\u00e9venir le genre de violations des droits de la personne qui sont trop souvent commises dans les prisons canadiennes?</p>"
