"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"5997660\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, I would like to congratulate the minister on his speech. I agree, on behalf of the NDP, with the thrust of his remarks with respect to the Senate amendments made to Bill <a data-HoCid=\"9745407\" href=\"/bills/42-1/C-75/\" title=\"An Act to amend the Criminal Code, the Youth Criminal Justice Act and other Acts and to make consequential amendments to other Acts\">C-75</a>, certainly with respect to intimate partner violence and the bail reform provisions and, in particular, the section 802.1 where law students and agents will again be able to represent people fully in summary conviction matters. I think these are all really important matters and I agree with him.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5997661\" data-originallang=\"en\"> However, surely, if the issue is about the Askov and Jordan delay principles, the elephant in the room would be the fact that the government has failed to follow up on the <a data-HoCid=\"214296\" href=\"/politicians/justin-trudeau/\" title=\"Justin Trudeau\">Prime Minister</a>'s commitment to address to the minister, in the mandate letter, the minimum mandatory sentences provisions. I agree with him that we have a crisis in the over-incarceration of indigenous people, eight times as many indigenous men per capita, 12 times as many women.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5997662\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Jonathan Rudin and others who work with Aboriginal Legal Services, say that there has to be a change in the mandatory minimum provisions if we are going to change that. Why does the government not get that? </p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"5997660\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, je tiens \u00e0 f\u00e9liciter le ministre de son discours. Au nom du NPD, je suis d'accord avec la port\u00e9e de ses observations concernant les amendements apport\u00e9s par le S\u00e9nat au projet de loi <a data-HoCid=\"9745407\" href=\"/bills/42-1/C-75/\" title=\"An Act to amend the Criminal Code, the Youth Criminal Justice Act and other Acts and to make consequential amendments to other Acts\">C-75</a>, en tout cas en ce qui concerne la violence contre un partenaire intime, et les dispositions relatives \u00e0 la r\u00e9forme du cautionnement et, en particulier, l'article 802.1 autorisant \u00e0 nouveau des \u00e9tudiants en droit et des agents \u00e0 repr\u00e9senter pleinement les gens dans les cas d'infractions punissables sur d\u00e9claration de culpabilit\u00e9 par proc\u00e9dure sommaire. Je pense que toutes ces questions sont vraiment importantes et je suis d'accord avec lui.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5997661\" data-originallang=\"en\">S'il s'agit toutefois des principes d'Asko et de Jordan sur les d\u00e9lais judiciaires, l'\u00e9vidence dont on ne parle pas serait le fait que le gouvernement n'a pas donn\u00e9 suite \u00e0 l'engagement qu'avait pris le <a data-HoCid=\"214296\" href=\"/politicians/justin-trudeau/\" title=\"Justin Trudeau\">premier ministre</a> de r\u00e9gler, dans la lettre de mandat du ministre, la question des peines minimales obligatoires. Je conviens que la surrepr\u00e9sentation des Autochtones dans les prisons, \u00e0 raison de 8 fois plus d'hommes autochtones et de 12 fois plus de femmes autochtones, constitue une crise.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5997662\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Jonathan Rudin et d'autres personnes qui travaillent pour l'organisme Aboriginal Legal Services affirment que pour que les choses changent, il va falloir modifier les dispositions relatives aux peines minimales obligatoires. Pourquoi le gouvernement ne le comprend-il pas? </p>"
