"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"6351252\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madam Speaker, the member has spoken up about the way the Chinese government aggressively takes its own initiative throughout the world.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6351253\" data-originallang=\"en\">We have been saying to the Liberal government that more must be done to protect our citizens in Canada. One of the things that I heard at the special committee on Canada-China relations was that when foreign agents were intimidating our citizens or were trying to impose the will of the Chinese government, there was no central agency or phone number to take their information. Many law enforcement agencies will say that they handle property crime, theft and some other acts of violence, but we do not handle intimidation by a foreign state.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6351254\" data-originallang=\"en\">There is a role to be played by the Canadian government. Does the member believe that more needs to be done so our intelligence agencies can act on this intelligence to force these agents out in the open?</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"6351252\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madame la Pr\u00e9sidente, la d\u00e9put\u00e9e a parl\u00e9 des mesures agressives prises partout dans le monde par le gouvernement chinois.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6351253\" data-originallang=\"en\">Nous disons depuis un certain temps au gouvernement lib\u00e9ral qu'il faut en faire plus pour prot\u00e9ger nos citoyens au Canada. J'ai entendu au Comit\u00e9 sp\u00e9cial sur les relations sino-canadiennes que lorsque des agents \u00e9trangers intimident nos citoyens ou qu'ils essaient de leur imposer la volont\u00e9 du gouvernement chinois, il n'y a pas d'organisme central ni de num\u00e9ro de t\u00e9l\u00e9phone pour le signaler. Beaucoup d'organismes d'application de la loi disent qu'ils enqu\u00eatent sur des crimes contre les biens, le vol et d'autres formes de violence, mais qu'ils n'enqu\u00eatent pas sur l'intimidation par un \u00c9tat \u00e9tranger.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6351254\" data-originallang=\"en\">Le gouvernement canadien a un r\u00f4le \u00e0 jouer. La d\u00e9put\u00e9e est-elle d'avis qu'il faut en faire plus pour permettre aux services de renseignement canadiens d'agir en fonction des renseignements signal\u00e9s pour forcer les agents \u00e9trangers \u00e0 sortir de l'ombre?</p>"
