"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"6760954\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madam Chair, I think we all agree that the residential school system was a piece of a larger colonial policy that existed in this country for a very long time. My fear, like many others', is that indigenous children are still not recognized, treated and held to the same standard as all other children in society. That is a big and very sad statement.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6760955\" data-originallang=\"en\">What would the member's commitment be to Canadians, to indigenous children and to their families? What does he see as the next steps forward that we have to take as a country?</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"6760954\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madame la pr\u00e9sidente, je crois que nous convenons tous que le syst\u00e8me des pensionnats autochtones faisait partie d'une politique colonialiste plus vaste qui a tr\u00e8s longtemps exist\u00e9 au pays. Comme beaucoup d'autres, je crains que les enfants autochtones ne soient toujours pas reconnus et trait\u00e9s selon les normes qui s'appliquent \u00e0 tous les autres enfants de la soci\u00e9t\u00e9. Cette affirmation en dit long et elle est tr\u00e8s triste. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6760955\" data-originallang=\"en\">Quel engagement le d\u00e9put\u00e9 prendrait-il envers les Canadiens, les enfants autochtones et leur famille? Selon lui, quelles mesures le pays devrait-il prendre?</p>"
