"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"7920576\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madam Speaker, on calling us \u201ccrime rate deniers\u201d, as I said in my speech, how is that productive in this discussion or in any other discussion? What kind of message does that send to Canadians? If she or any other member of the House think that anybody on this side of the House is soft on crime and wants bad guys out on the street, they are just wrong, and everybody knows it, so I ask the member stop saying it, please.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7920577\" data-originallang=\"en\">As for the weapons she is talking about, I was born and raised in Thunder Bay. I had my hunting licence when I was 16. Never in my life did anybody say, \u201cHey, can you hand me the AR-15.\u201d </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7920578\" data-originallang=\"en\">Bill <a data-HoCid=\"11814598\" href=\"/bills/44-1/C-21/\" title=\"An Act to amend certain Acts and to make certain consequential amendments (firearms)\">C-21</a> is strong legislation. We worked hard, including with members on the opposite side of the House, some of whom are in this chamber right now. I am a hunter myself. I would never do anything that would in any way infringe on the rights of Canadians who are legally exercising their right to go hunting and engage in that sporting activity.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"7920576\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madame la Pr\u00e9sidente, en quoi le fait de nous traiter de \u00ab n\u00e9gateurs de la hausse de la criminalit\u00e9 \u00bb, comme je l'ai dit dans mon discours, est-il productif dans cette discussion ou toute autre discussion? Quel genre de message cela envoie-t-il aux Canadiens? Si la d\u00e9put\u00e9e ou un autre d\u00e9put\u00e9 pense que quelqu'un de ce c\u00f4t\u00e9-ci de la Chambre fait preuve de laxisme en mati\u00e8re de criminalit\u00e9 et souhaite que les m\u00e9chants se retrouvent dans la rue, elle a tort, et tout le monde le sait. Je demande donc \u00e0 la d\u00e9put\u00e9e de bien vouloir arr\u00eater de dire cela.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7920577\" data-originallang=\"en\">Pour ce qui est des armes dont elle parle, je suis n\u00e9 et j'ai grandi \u00e0 Thunder Bay. J'ai obtenu mon permis de chasse \u00e0 l'\u00e2ge de 16 ans. Je n'ai jamais entendu qui que ce soit dire: \u00ab Pouvez-vous me remettre l'AR-15? \u00bb</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7920578\" data-originallang=\"en\">Le projet de loi <a data-HoCid=\"11814598\" href=\"/bills/44-1/C-21/\" title=\"An Act to amend certain Acts and to make certain consequential amendments (firearms)\">C-21</a> est un projet de loi solide. Nous avons travaill\u00e9 fort, y compris avec les d\u00e9put\u00e9s d'en face, dont certains sont \u00e0 la Chambre en ce moment. Je suis moi-m\u00eame un chasseur. Je ne ferais jamais une chose qui porterait atteinte de quelque fa\u00e7on que ce soit aux droits des Canadiens qui exercent l\u00e9galement leur droit de chasser et de pratiquer cette activit\u00e9 sportive.</p>"
