"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"7224116\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madam Speaker, to the government House leader, conditional sentence orders are a very important tool to ensure that those who pose no risk to society are able to have alternatives to spending time in jail.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7224117\" data-originallang=\"en\">I wonder if my colleague can outline how that is going to impact incarceration, particularly of indigenous and Black Canadians. I would note that prior to the many of the mandatory minimum penalties that came in, there were about 11,000 conditional sentence orders that were imposed. Right now, we are hovering around the 6,000 mark, so almost 5,000 Canadians a year spend time unnecessarily in detention and, as a result, face an increased risk of reoffending because of the system they are in.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"7224116\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madame la Pr\u00e9sidente, j'ajouterais, pour faire suite aux propos du leader du gouvernement \u00e0 la Chambre, que les ordonnances de sursis contribuent grandement \u00e0 faire en sorte que les contrevenants qui ne posent aucun risque pour la soci\u00e9t\u00e9 aient d\u2019autres options que la prison.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7224117\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mon coll\u00e8gue pourrait-il nous expliquer quelles seraient les r\u00e9percussions sur le taux d'incarc\u00e9ration, en particulier des Canadiens autochtones et noirs? Je signale qu\u2019avant l\u2019entr\u00e9e en vigueur des nombreuses peines minimales obligatoires, quelque 11 000 ordonnances de sursis avaient \u00e9t\u00e9 impos\u00e9es. Actuellement, chaque ann\u00e9e, pr\u00e8s de 5 000 Canadiens passent inutilement du temps en d\u00e9tention, ce qui a pour effet d\u2019accro\u00eetre le risque de r\u00e9cidive \u00e0 cause du syst\u00e8me dans lequel ils se trouvent.</p>"
