        "en": "<p data-HoCid=\"8552750\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madam Speaker, the Supreme Court was simply making a decision based on constitutionality. As many child advocates have said, the Supreme Court was erroneous about the impacts on children and did not consider the impacts on children, and it caused a great deal of confusion. That decision, which makes it very difficult to understand the impacts of section 43 of the Criminal Code, has led to much more confusion and consternation if we look at what child advocates are saying.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8552751\" data-originallang=\"en\">The fact that it is constitutional is not what we are considering here. It is what is in the best interests of the child, and there is no doubt, as 700 organizations and 67 countries are telling us, that it is not in the best interests of the child.</p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"8552750\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madame la Pr\u00e9sidente, la Cour supr\u00eame a simplement rendu une d\u00e9cision fond\u00e9e sur la constitutionnalit\u00e9 de la question. Comme l'ont dit de nombreux d\u00e9fenseurs des droits des enfants, la Cour supr\u00eame s'est tromp\u00e9e au sujet des r\u00e9percussions sur les enfants et n'en a pas tenu compte. Cela a caus\u00e9 beaucoup de confusion. Cette d\u00e9cision, qui fait en sorte qu\u2019il est tr\u00e8s difficile de comprendre les r\u00e9percussions de l\u2019article 43 du Code criminel, a exacerb\u00e9 la confusion et la consternation si l'on se fie \u00e0 ce que disent les d\u00e9fenseurs des droits des enfants.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8552751\" data-originallang=\"en\">Ce qui nous int\u00e9resse ici, ce n'est pas la constitutionnalit\u00e9 de l'article. Nous cherchons plut\u00f4t \u00e0 d\u00e9terminer ce qui est dans l\u2019int\u00e9r\u00eat de l\u2019enfant. Il ne fait aucun doute, comme 700 organisations et 67 pays nous le disent, que l'article 43 n\u2019est pas dans l\u2019int\u00e9r\u00eat de l\u2019enfant.</p>"
