        "en": "<p data-HoCid=\"5884385\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madam Speaker, I wish I could speak with the brevity and clarity of my colleague from Sherwood Park\u2014Fort Saskatchewan. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5884386\" data-originallang=\"en\">I want to get on with it as well. I support this initiative. The NDP supports it wholeheartedly.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5884387\" data-originallang=\"en\">I respect that the <a data-HoCid=\"242093\" href=\"/politicians/arif-virani/\" title=\"Arif Virani\">parliamentary secretary</a> has quite properly pointed out the all-party support this bill has received, from Senator Ataullahjan, who has been a crusader for it in the other place, of course from the member for <a data-HoCid=\"214176\" href=\"/politicians/borys-wrzesnewskyj/\" title=\"Borys Wrzesnewskyj\">Etobicoke Centre</a>, and from the hon. Irwin Cotler.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5884388\" data-originallang=\"en\"> I wish to lend my support to the bill. I seconded it at second reading. I am not entirely sure all the amendments are necessary or warranted, but in principle we want to get it to the other place. We want it to be a legacy of this Parliament, so we can address what my friend the <a data-HoCid=\"242093\" href=\"/politicians/arif-virani/\" title=\"Arif Virani\">parliamentary secretary</a> properly called a \u201chorrendous crime\u201d. I support this without reservation and urge all members to support it as soon as we can get it out of here.</p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"5884385\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madame la Pr\u00e9sidente, j'aimerais pouvoir m'exprimer de fa\u00e7on aussi claire et concise que le d\u00e9put\u00e9 de Sherwood Park\u2014Fort Saskatchewan. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5884386\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je souhaite, moi aussi, que ce dossier aille de l'avant. J'appuie cette initiative, et le NPD l'appuie sans r\u00e9serve.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5884387\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je suis heureux que le <a data-HoCid=\"242093\" href=\"/politicians/arif-virani/\" title=\"Arif Virani\">secr\u00e9taire parlementaire</a> ait mentionn\u00e9, comme il se doit, que ce projet de loi a re\u00e7u l'appui de tous les partis. Il a notamment l'appui de la s\u00e9natrice Ataullahjan, qui l'a d\u00e9fendu avec vigueur \u00e0 l'autre endroit, celui du d\u00e9put\u00e9 d'<a data-HoCid=\"214176\" href=\"/politicians/borys-wrzesnewskyj/\" title=\"Borys Wrzesnewskyj\">Etobicoke-Centre</a>, bien s\u00fbr, et celui de l'honorable Irwin Cotler.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5884388\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Je voterai en faveur de ce projet de loi. J'ai d'ailleurs appuy\u00e9 la motion \u00e0 l'\u00e9tape de la deuxi\u00e8me lecture. Je ne suis pas absolument certain que tous les amendements soient n\u00e9cessaires ou justifi\u00e9s, mais nous voulons qu'il soit transmis \u00e0 l'autre endroit. Nous tenons \u00e0 ce que cette mesure fasse partie du legs de la pr\u00e9sente l\u00e9gislature et serve \u00e0 lutter contre un crime que le <a data-HoCid=\"242093\" href=\"/politicians/arif-virani/\" title=\"Arif Virani\">secr\u00e9taire parlementaire</a> a qualifi\u00e9 \u00e0 juste titre de \u00ab crime \u00e9pouvantable \u00bb. J'appuie ce projet de loi sans r\u00e9serve et j'encourage tous les d\u00e9put\u00e9s \u00e0 l'appuyer dans les plus brefs d\u00e9lais pour qu'il puisse \u00eatre transmis \u00e0 l'autre endroit.</p>"
