"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"6350526\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, the hon. member's question is very important because we have seen this not only in suggestions of participation in public events, but in demonstrations that have taken place in Canada by pro-democracy advocates. They have been attacked by large groups of counterprotesters, apparently at the behest of the Chinese government or Chinese agents. Intimidation, cyber-intimidation and so on go with that.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6350527\" data-originallang=\"en\"> We need the government to make it very clear that this kind of interference is unacceptable. We also need it to provide legal mechanisms and enforcement. It should participate. Instead of standing by and watching things happen, it should actually get engaged and do something about it, identifying people who are breaking the law and, if necessary, making laws that need to be made to ensure that this kind of intimidation does not go on.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"6350526\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, la question du d\u00e9put\u00e9 est tr\u00e8s importante parce que nous l\u2019avons observ\u00e9 non seulement lorsque des gens participent \u00e0 des \u00e9v\u00e9nements publics, mais aussi lorsque des partisans de la d\u00e9mocratie manifestent au Canada. Ces gens-l\u00e0 sont attaqu\u00e9s par des groupes importants de contre-manifestants, lesquels sont apparemment orchestr\u00e9s par le gouvernement chinois ou par des agents chinois. Il est question d\u2019intimidation, de cyberintimidation, etc.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6350527\" data-originallang=\"en\">Il faut que le gouvernement dise fermement que ce genre d\u2019ing\u00e9rence ne saurait \u00eatre tol\u00e9r\u00e9. Il faut \u00e9galement que nous nous dotions de m\u00e9canismes juridiques et de moyens d\u2019application de la loi. Au lieu de pratiquer une politique attentiste, le gouvernement doit s\u2019engager \u00e0 faire quelque chose, identifier les fauteurs de troubles et, s\u2019il le faut, adopter de nouvelles lois pour faire cesser ce genre d\u2019intimidation.</p>"
