Fifty people were killed simply because they wanted to practise their religion in peace.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5829781\" data-originallang=\"fr\">On behalf of the Bloc Qu\u00e9b\u00e9cois, I wish to extend my deepest condolences to the victims' loved ones, the citizens of Christchurch and the people of the Muslim faith. Muslims there, like here, feel less safe today than they did yesterday.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5829782\" data-originallang=\"fr\">I wish them the courage they will need to get through this ordeal. I want to tell them that we stand with them, that we join everyone else around the world who stands in solidarity with them. I want them to know that humanity will triumph over this horror and hate. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5829783\" data-originallang=\"fr\">I want to tell them that, despite their pain, they will see that their community is full of heroes, people like Abdul Aziz, more than they could have imagined, people willing to sacrifice everything for their fellow humans, and that together they will find the strength to face every new day.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5829784\" data-originallang=\"fr\">The Christchurch tragedy shows that we need to remember that hatred toward Muslims is unacceptable and must be condemned at every opportunity. It is important to reiterate that. We need to condemn every word before it poisons the atmosphere, before that atmosphere turns into irreparable acts, before the actions taken by a murderer in Sainte-Foy become an inscription on the gun of a terrorist in New Zealand, on the other side of the world. That is our responsibility, one that we must fulfill in memory of all those who lost their lives in Christchurch.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5829785\" data-originallang=\"fr\">It is important to remember that everyone has the right to worship as they see fit, should they choose to do so, without any fear for their safety. Everyone has the right to worship freely. That is one of the pillars of our society, of our rule of law. It is one of the most fundamental freedoms of the western world, one that must be upheld at any cost.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5829786\" data-originallang=\"fr\">We must remember that freedom that unites us and tirelessly condemn the hate speech that divides us. We need to condemn those words of hate before they take root. We need to tirelessly condemn the conspiracy theories that cloud the judgment of the easily impressionable. That is everyone's responsibility and we must fulfill it in memory of all those who lost their lives, not only in Christchurch, but also in Sainte-Foy, at the \u00c9cole Polytechnique, in Paris, in Nice, in Charleston, in Pittsburgh, in Norway and anywhere else where hatred momentarily won out over compassion.</p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"5829779\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, je joins ma voix \u00e0 celle des autres partis pour exprimer notre solidarit\u00e9 envers le peuple de la Nouvelle-Z\u00e9lande au cours de la terrible \u00e9preuve \u00e0 laquelle il fait face aujourd\u2019hui.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5829780\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Vendredi dernier, le monde entier a encore une fois \u00e9t\u00e9 foudroy\u00e9 par la haine lorsqu\u2019un terroriste a arrach\u00e9 la vie \u00e0 50 personnes innocentes \u00e0 Christchurch en Nouvelle-Z\u00e9lande. Cinquante personnes ont \u00e9t\u00e9 tu\u00e9es tout simplement parce qu\u2019elles ont voulu pratiquer leur religion en toute qui\u00e9tude.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5829781\" data-originallang=\"fr\"> Au nom du Bloc qu\u00e9b\u00e9cois, je tiens \u00e0 offrir mes plus sinc\u00e8res condol\u00e9ances aux proches des victimes, aux citoyens et aux citoyennes de Christchurch et \u00e0 toutes les personnes de confession musulmane. L\u00e0-bas comme ici, elles se sentent aujourd\u2019hui moins en s\u00e9curit\u00e9 qu\u2019hier.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5829782\" data-originallang=\"fr\"> Je tiens \u00e0 leur offrir tous nos v\u0153ux de courage pendant cette \u00e9preuve. Je tiens \u00e0 leur dire que nous sommes avec eux, que notre voix se joint \u00e0 celle du monde entier pour leur dire que nous sommes solidaires, pour leur dire que l\u2019humanit\u00e9 triomphera de l\u2019horreur, de l\u2019inhumain.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5829783\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Je tiens \u00e0 leur dire que, malgr\u00e9 leur peine, ils constateront que leur communaut\u00e9 est faite plus qu\u2019ils ne l\u2019auraient cru de h\u00e9ros, comme Abdul Aziz, pr\u00eats \u00e0 tout donner pour leurs concitoyens et qu\u2019ensemble, ils trouveront la force d\u2019affronter chaque nouveau jour.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5829784\" data-originallang=\"fr\">La trag\u00e9die de Christchurch d\u00e9montre qu\u2019il faut rappeler que la haine envers les musulmans est inacceptable et qu'elle doit \u00eatre d\u00e9nonc\u00e9e \u00e0 chaque occasion. Cela est important de le r\u00e9p\u00e9ter. Il faut d\u00e9noncer chaque parole avant qu\u2019elle ne contamine le climat ambiant, avant que ce climat ne se transforme en geste irr\u00e9parable, avant que le geste pos\u00e9 par un meurtrier de Sainte-Foy ne devienne une inscription sur le fusil d\u2019un terroriste en Nouvelle-Z\u00e9lande, \u00e0 l\u2019autre bout du monde. C\u2019est une responsabilit\u00e9 qui nous incombe et que nous devons saisir en m\u00e9moire de tous ceux et de toutes celles qui ont perdu la vie \u00e0 Christchurch.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5829785\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Il faut rappeler que chaque personne peut choisir de pratiquer la religion de son choix, si elle le souhaite, et que chaque personne doit pouvoir le faire sans craindre pour sa s\u00e9curit\u00e9. Chaque personne doit pouvoir le faire en toute libert\u00e9. C\u2019est un des piliers de notre soci\u00e9t\u00e9, de notre \u00e9tat de droit. C\u2019est une des libert\u00e9s les plus fondamentales du monde occidental, une libert\u00e9 qu\u2019il faut d\u00e9fendre \u00e0 tout prix.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5829786\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Il faut rappeler cette libert\u00e9 qui nous unit et, cons\u00e9quemment, d\u00e9noncer sans rel\u00e2che les discours haineux qui nous divisent. Il faut les d\u00e9noncer avant qu'ils ne prennent racine. Il faut d\u00e9noncer sans rel\u00e2che les th\u00e9ories du complot qui obscurcissent le jugement des esprits faibles. C\u2019est une responsabilit\u00e9 qui incombe \u00e0 tous et que nous devons saisir en m\u00e9moire de tous ceux et de toutes celles qui ont perdu la vie \u00e0 Christchurch, mais aussi \u00e0 Sainte-Foy, \u00e0 l'\u00c9cole polytechnique, \u00e0 Paris, \u00e0 Nice, \u00e0 Charleston, \u00e0 Pittsburgh, en Norv\u00e8ge et partout o\u00f9 la haine l'a momentan\u00e9ment emport\u00e9 sur l\u2019humanit\u00e9.</p>"
