"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"6577392\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, this is an important question. Certainly, our condolences and sympathy go to the Boushie family, and the way in which they were treated is unacceptable.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6577393\" data-originallang=\"en\"> We thank the CRCC for its report. However, I would remind the member that we have made a clear declaration of moving forward on enhanced civilian oversight for all law enforcement agencies, including the RCMP. We are working towards modernizing the training for police and law enforcement, we are addressing standards of de-escalation for people in crisis and the use of force, and we are accelerating the work to co-develop a legislative framework for first nations policing as an essential service.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6577394\" data-originallang=\"en\">We are acting on these recommendations, and we are working to ensure that the RCMP is fully engaged in the reform.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"6577392\" data-originallang=\"en\">Il s'agit d'une question importante, monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident. Il va sans dire que nous transmettons nos condol\u00e9ances aux membres de la famille Boushie, qui peuvent compter sur notre sympathie la plus sinc\u00e8re. La mani\u00e8re dont ils ont \u00e9t\u00e9 trait\u00e9s est inacceptable.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6577393\" data-originallang=\"en\">Nous remercions la Commission civile d'examen et de traitement des plaintes relatives \u00e0 la GRC de son rapport. Je rappelle toutefois \u00e0 la d\u00e9put\u00e9e que nous avons clairement dit qu'\u00e0 l'avenir, toutes les forces de l'ordre, y compris la GRC, feraient l'objet d'une surveillance civile accrue. Nous sommes en train de moderniser la formation offerte aux policiers et aux agents de la paix, d'\u00e9tablir des normes de d\u00e9sescalade en situation de crise et d'autres encore pour r\u00e9gir l'emploi de la force. Nous avons \u00e9galement acc\u00e9l\u00e9r\u00e9 le pas afin d'arriver rapidement avec un cadre l\u00e9gislatif conjoint qui ferait des services de police des Premi\u00e8res Nations un service essentiel.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6577394\" data-originallang=\"en\">Nous donnons suite aux recommandations qui nous \u00e9t\u00e9 transmises et nous veillons \u00e0 ce que la GRC s'investisse pleinement dans la r\u00e9forme pr\u00e9vue.</p>"
