        "en": "<p data-HoCid=\"7919108\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, yes I was. In fact, I would have undone the Liberal bail law in Bill <a data-HoCid=\"9745407\" href=\"/bills/42-1/C-75/\" title=\"An Act to amend the Criminal Code, the Youth Criminal Justice Act and other Acts and to make consequential amendments to other Acts\">C-75</a> six years ago, the day it was passed.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7919109\" data-originallang=\"en\">Not only did the <a data-HoCid=\"299997\" href=\"/politicians/arif-virani/\" title=\"Arif Virani\">minister</a> go on vacation before addressing bail, but he also went to a radio station and claimed that we were holding up the reversal of Liberal bail policy. He thought no one would find out about this. In fact, he was on vacation and had allowed Parliament to rise without bail reform occurring in the first place. Let us not forget that what little good this bill would do is just undoing the damage his party already did. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7919110\" data-originallang=\"en\">Finally, I would ask the <a data-HoCid=\"299997\" href=\"/politicians/arif-virani/\" title=\"Arif Virani\">minister</a> to stand in his place and apologize to Canadians for trying to gaslight them and tell them that rising crime is just a perception issue. I have given him all the data published by his own government, which shows that violent crime has raged out of control after eight years under the <a data-HoCid=\"214296\" href=\"/politicians/justin-trudeau/\" title=\"Justin Trudeau\">Prime Minister</a>. These are data points. These are facts. Will he admit it and apologize for gaslighting Canadians?</p>",

En fait, j\u2019aurais annul\u00e9 l'ancien projet de loi <a data-HoCid=\"9745407\" href=\"/bills/42-1/C-75/\" title=\"An Act to amend the Criminal Code, the Youth Criminal Justice Act and other Acts and to make consequential amendments to other Acts\">C\u201175</a>, la loi lib\u00e9rale sur la mise en libert\u00e9 sous caution, le jour m\u00eame o\u00f9 il a \u00e9t\u00e9 adopt\u00e9 il y a six ans.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7919109\" data-originallang=\"en\">Non seulement le <a data-HoCid=\"299997\" href=\"/politicians/arif-virani/\" title=\"Arif Virani\">ministre</a> est parti en vacances avant d\u2019aborder la question de la mise en libert\u00e9 sous caution, mais il a \u00e9galement d\u00e9clar\u00e9 \u00e0 la radio que nous retardons le renversement de la politique lib\u00e9rale en mati\u00e8re de mise en libert\u00e9 sous caution. Il pensait que personne ne l\u2019apprendrait. En fait, il \u00e9tait en vacances et avait permis au Parlement d'ajourner ses travaux sans que la r\u00e9forme de la mise en libert\u00e9 sous caution ait eu lieu. N\u2019oublions pas que les quelques petites mesures contenues dans ce projet de loi ne font que r\u00e9parer les d\u00e9g\u00e2ts que son parti a d\u00e9j\u00e0 caus\u00e9s.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7919110\" data-originallang=\"en\">Enfin, je demanderais au <a data-HoCid=\"299997\" href=\"/politicians/arif-virani/\" title=\"Arif Virani\">ministre</a> de s\u2019excuser aupr\u00e8s des Canadiens pour avoir essay\u00e9 de les tromper en leur disant que l\u2019augmentation de la criminalit\u00e9 n\u2019est qu\u2019un probl\u00e8me de perception. Je lui ai fourni toutes les donn\u00e9es publi\u00e9es par son propre gouvernement, qui montrent que la criminalit\u00e9 violente est devenue incontr\u00f4lable apr\u00e8s huit ans de r\u00e8gne du <a data-HoCid=\"214296\" href=\"/politicians/justin-trudeau/\" title=\"Justin Trudeau\">premier ministre</a>. Ce sont des donn\u00e9es. Ce sont des faits. Va-t-il l\u2019admettre et s\u2019excuser d\u2019avoir tromp\u00e9 les Canadiens?</p>"
