"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"6554764\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madam Speaker, the Liberal firearms bill, Bill <a data-HoCid=\"11102978\" href=\"/bills/43-2/C-21/\" title=\"An Act to amend certain Acts and to make certain consequential amendments (firearms)\">C-21</a>, will ban outright all airsoft guns, most BB guns and some paintball models in Canada, which are toys. This is not just a plan to destroy a pastime enjoyed by over 64,000 players in Canada; the Liberal law risks an entire industry worth $100 million to the Canadian economy, and $10 million of that is in Quebec alone.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6554765\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Half the businesses in Canada tailored to these harmless hobbies expect to close for good. That includes businesses in Lakeland, such as Xcalibre Paintball in Boyle, Alberta. Many business owners say Bill <a data-HoCid=\"11102978\" href=\"/bills/43-2/C-21/\" title=\"An Act to amend certain Acts and to make certain consequential amendments (firearms)\">C-21</a> is the bitter end of airsoft and paintball in Canada, and that includes most BB guns, which most of us probably remember target shooting pop cans with as kids.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6554766\" data-originallang=\"en\">Because of the Liberals, 1,500 Canadians will likely lose their jobs, and for what? The Liberal plan is to take legal firearms off the ranges and ban toys, while leaving illegal guns in the hands of gangs and criminals and reducing penalties for serious and violent crimes. It just makes no sense.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"6554764\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madame la Pr\u00e9sidente, le projet de loi sur les armes \u00e0 feu pr\u00e9sent\u00e9 par les lib\u00e9raux, le projet de loi <a data-HoCid=\"11102978\" href=\"/bills/43-2/C-21/\" title=\"An Act to amend certain Acts and to make certain consequential amendments (firearms)\">C-21</a>, vise \u00e0 interdire compl\u00e8tement la vente d'armes \u00e0 air comprim\u00e9, d'armes \u00e0 balles BB, et de certains mod\u00e8les d'armes de jeu tirant des balles de peinture, qui ne sont en fait que des jouets. Ce projet de loi va mettre brutalement fin \u00e0 un passe-temps appr\u00e9ci\u00e9 par plus de 64 000 Canadiens, en plus de mettre en p\u00e9ril toute une industrie aux retomb\u00e9es de 100 millions de dollars pour l'\u00e9conomie canadienne, dont 10 millions de dollars uniquement au Qu\u00e9bec. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6554765\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Au Canada, la moiti\u00e9 des entreprises qui offrent des produits ax\u00e9s sur ce genre de passe-temps inoffensifs pr\u00e9voient fermer d\u00e9finitivement leurs portes. Je pense notamment \u00e0 des entreprises situ\u00e9es dans ma circonscription, comme Xcalibre Paintball, situ\u00e9 \u00e0 Boyle, en Alberta. De nombreux propri\u00e9taires d'entreprises de Lakeland affirment que le projet de loi <a data-HoCid=\"11102978\" href=\"/bills/43-2/C-21/\" title=\"An Act to amend certain Acts and to make certain consequential amendments (firearms)\">C-21</a> marque la fin des armes airsoft et des jeux de guerre avec balles de peinture au pays. Cela inclut les armes \u00e0 balles BB, avec lesquelles la plupart d'entre nous se souviennent probablement d'avoir tir\u00e9 sur des bo\u00eetes de conserve dans leur jeunesse. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6554766\" data-originallang=\"en\">Par la faute des lib\u00e9raux, 1 500 Canadiens risquent de perdre leur emploi, mais pourquoi au juste? Le plan des lib\u00e9raux consiste d'une part \u00e0 retirer les armes \u00e0 feu l\u00e9gales des champs de tir et \u00e0 interdire des jouets, et d'autre part, \u00e0 laisser les armes ill\u00e9gales entre les mains du crime organis\u00e9 tout en favorisant la r\u00e9duction des peines pour les crimes graves et violents. Cela ne tient pas debout. </p>"
