"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"6031617\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madam Speaker, my colleague's question is an important one because there was a significant backlog in the RCMP complaints procedure. There was a backlog of 2,000 complaints, which is awful. If someone makes a complaint and it takes two, three or more years to deal with it, that is totally inadequate.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6031618\" data-originallang=\"en\">There were some performance standards mentioned in the bill, and we will have to look carefully at them to see whether they are talking about what the board does when it has a complaint finished, or whether there is actually a timeline that says that when someone makes a complaint there has to be a response to that individual. We should look into that carefully, and I plan to do that. I am looking forward to seeing what can be done to make sure that complainants have a response time that is adequate and reasonable.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6031619\" data-originallang=\"en\"> I want to thank the hon. member for bringing that to the attention of the House.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"6031617\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madame la Pr\u00e9sidente, ma coll\u00e8gue a pos\u00e9 une question importante, car on a constat\u00e9 un retard important dans le processus de traitement des plaintes li\u00e9es \u00e0 la GRC. En effet, 2 000 plaintes attendent encore d'\u00eatre trait\u00e9es, ce qui est terrible. Si une personne d\u00e9pose une plainte et qu'il faut deux ans, trois ans, voire plus pour qu'elle soit trait\u00e9e, c'est nettement insuffisant. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6031618\" data-originallang=\"en\">Le projet de loi contient certaines normes de service. Nous devons les examiner attentivement pour v\u00e9rifier si elles pr\u00e9cisent ce que doit faire la commission lorsqu'elle a trait\u00e9 une plainte, ou s'il existe un calendrier indiquant qu'une r\u00e9ponse doit \u00eatre fournie aux plaignants dans tel ou tel laps de temps. Nous devons nous pencher s\u00e9rieusement sur cette question, et c'est ce que je compte faire. J'ai bien h\u00e2te de voir ce qui peut \u00eatre mis en \u0153uvre pour que les plaignants disposent d'un d\u00e9lai de r\u00e9ponse ad\u00e9quat et raisonnable.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6031619\" data-originallang=\"en\"> J'aimerais remercier la d\u00e9put\u00e9e d'avoir port\u00e9 cette question \u00e0 l'attention de la Chambre.</p>"
