I thought you were recognizing the next debater.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6871432\" data-originallang=\"en\">On the question, let me be very clear that in four months, this government brought in more Afghan interpreters than the previous Conservative government brought here in four years. That is absolutely true. I know those people; they live in my riding. I am in contact with them every day. I understand what that was about. I also understand that the situation changed and Canada continued to adapt.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6871433\" data-originallang=\"en\">I want to thank the member for <a data-HoCid=\"278656\" href=\"/politicians/marcus-powlowski/\" title=\"Marcus Powlowski\">Thunder Bay\u2014Rainy River</a>, who was absolutely helpful in raising the issue. We have constantly been engaged on the issue and will continue to be engaged on it.</p>",

Je pensais que vous donniez la parole au prochain intervenant.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6871432\" data-originallang=\"en\">Au sujet de la question, je veux \u00eatre bien clair: en quatre mois, le gouvernement actuel a fait venir au pays plus d'interpr\u00e8tes afghans que le gouvernement conservateur pr\u00e9c\u00e9dent en quatre ans. C'est tout \u00e0 fait vrai. Je connais ces personnes; elles vivent dans ma circonscription. Je communique avec elles tous les jours. Je comprends de quoi il en retourne exactement. Je sais aussi que la situation a chang\u00e9, et que le Canada a continu\u00e9 de s'adapter.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6871433\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je tiens \u00e0 remercier le d\u00e9put\u00e9 de <a data-HoCid=\"278656\" href=\"/politicians/marcus-powlowski/\" title=\"Marcus Powlowski\">Thunder Bay\u2014Rainy River</a>, qui a grandement contribu\u00e9 \u00e0 attirer l'attention sur cette question. Nous nous sommes constamment impliqu\u00e9s dans le dossier et nous continuerons \u00e0 le faire.</p>"
