        "en": "<p data-HoCid=\"8556959\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Mr. Speaker, it is always a privilege and honour to rise in this House. I will be splitting my time with the hon. member for <a data-HoCid=\"278537\" href=\"/politicians/majid-jowhari/\" title=\"Majid Jowhari\">Richmond Hill</a>, my neighbour in York region.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8556960\" data-originallang=\"fr\">It is an honour for me to say a few words about Bill <a data-HoCid=\"12913297\" href=\"/bills/44-1/C-63/\" title=\"An Act to enact the Online Harms Act, to amend the Criminal Code, the Canadian Human Rights Act and An Act respecting the mandatory reporting of Internet child pornography by persons who provide an Internet service and to make consequential and related amendments to other Acts\">C\u201163</a>.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8556961\" data-originallang=\"fr\">In addition to the new legislative and regulatory framework, this bill also amends the Criminal Code, the Canadian Human Rights Act and An Act respecting the mandatory reporting of Internet child pornography by persons who provide an Internet service. My comments will focus on the amendments to these three acts.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8556962\" data-originallang=\"en\">Online harms have a real-world impact, with sometimes tragic, even fatal, consequences. Ask the families of the six people killed at the Quebec City mosque by someone radicalized online. Ask the young boy orphaned by the horrific attack on the Afzaal family in London, Ontario. Ask the parents of the young people who have taken their lives after being sextorted online.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8556963\" data-originallang=\"en\">The online harms act is the result of extensive consultation conducted over more than four years. We have heard from countless organizations that represent victims on the essential nature of this legislation. The groups in support of this bill range from the Canadian Centre for Child Protection to the National Council of Canadian Muslims, the Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs, and the Canadian Race Relations Foundation.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8556964\" data-originallang=\"en\">Victims of exploitation and hatred and those who advocate on their behalf are asking all of us to do more. It is time we meet their call and meet their demands. The <a data-HoCid=\"291215\" href=\"/politicians/pierre-poilievre/\" title=\"Pierre Poilievre\">Leader of the Opposition</a> forgets these facts. He is not serious about helping kids. He is not serious about stopping hatred online or not online. Conservatives are abandoning victims who are asking us to do more. They are discrediting the years of detailed expert advice and shared experience gathered during consultations. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8556965\" data-originallang=\"en\">The Conservatives' so-called law and order agenda vanishes when it comes to keeping our digital world and our kids safe. That puts children at risk. That allows hate to fester. We will not let that happen. We will do better. Canadians deserve to live in safety online and in the real world. They also deserve a measure of decency from their politicians, much like I would ask my colleagues on the other side to refrain from making comments when other individuals are commenting on important things. It is called decency.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8556966\" data-originallang=\"en\">As regards the Criminal Code amendments, the bill proposes to define the term \u201chatred\u201d. This definition would apply to the two hate propaganda offences in section 319\u2014</p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"8556959\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, c'est toujours un honneur et un privil\u00e8ge de prendre la parole \u00e0 la Chambre. Je partagerai mon temps de parole avec le d\u00e9put\u00e9 de <a data-HoCid=\"278537\" href=\"/politicians/majid-jowhari/\" title=\"Majid Jowhari\">Richmond Hill</a>, qui est mon voisin dans la r\u00e9gion d'York.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8556960\" data-originallang=\"fr\">C'est un honneur pour moi de dire quelques mots au sujet du projet de loi <a data-HoCid=\"12913297\" href=\"/bills/44-1/C-63/\" title=\"An Act to enact the Online Harms Act, to amend the Criminal Code, the Canadian Human Rights Act and An Act respecting the mandatory reporting of Internet child pornography by persons who provide an Internet service and to make consequential and related amendments to other Acts\">C\u201163</a>. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8556961\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Outre le nouveau cadre l\u00e9gislatif et r\u00e9glementaire, ce projet de loi modifie \u00e9galement le Code criminel, la Loi canadienne sur les droits de la personne et la Loi concernant la d\u00e9claration obligatoire de la pornographie juv\u00e9nile sur Internet par les personnes qui fournissent un service Internet. Mes observations seront ax\u00e9es sur la modification apport\u00e9e \u00e0 ces trois lois.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8556962\" data-originallang=\"en\">Les pr\u00e9judices en ligne ont des cons\u00e9quences concr\u00e8tes et parfois tragiques, voire fatales. Il suffit de regarder les familles des six personnes tu\u00e9es \u00e0 la mosqu\u00e9e de Qu\u00e9bec par un individu radicalis\u00e9 en ligne, le jeune gar\u00e7on devenu orphelin \u00e0 la suite de l'horrible attaque contre la famille Afzaal \u00e0 London, en Ontario, ou les parents des jeunes qui se sont suicid\u00e9s apr\u00e8s avoir \u00e9t\u00e9 victimes de sextorsion en ligne.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8556963\" data-originallang=\"en\"> La Loi sur les pr\u00e9judices en ligne est le fruit de vastes consultations men\u00e9es pendant plus de quatre ans. D'innombrables organisations qui repr\u00e9sentent les victimes nous ont fait part de la nature essentielle de cette mesure l\u00e9gislative. Le projet de loi compte parmi ses partisans le Centre canadien de protection de l'enfance, le Conseil national des musulmans canadiens, le Centre consultatif des relations juives et isra\u00e9liennes et la Fondation canadienne des relations raciales.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8556964\" data-originallang=\"en\">Les victimes d'exploitation et de haine et ceux qui les d\u00e9fendent nous demandent \u00e0 tous d'en faire plus. Il est temps de r\u00e9pondre \u00e0 leur appel et de satisfaire leurs demandes. Le <a data-HoCid=\"291215\" href=\"/politicians/pierre-poilievre/\" title=\"Pierre Poilievre\">chef de l'opposition</a> oublie ces faits. Il ne cherche pas vraiment \u00e0 aider les enfants. Il ne souhaite pas s\u00e9rieusement mettre un terme \u00e0 la haine, qu'elle soit en ligne ou non. Les conservateurs abandonnent les victimes qui nous demandent d'en faire plus. Ils discr\u00e9ditent les ann\u00e9es de consultations au cours desquelles nous avons recueilli des conseils \u00e9toff\u00e9s formul\u00e9s par des experts et \u00e9cout\u00e9 des gens nous parler de leurs exp\u00e9riences.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8556965\" data-originallang=\"en\">D\u00e8s qu'il est question d'assurer la s\u00e9curit\u00e9 dans le monde num\u00e9rique, en particulier celle des enfants, le programme des conservateurs visant suppos\u00e9ment \u00e0 assurer le respect des lois et le maintien de l'ordre ne tient plus. Cela met les enfants en danger et permet \u00e0 la haine de fermenter. Nous n'allons pas rester les bras crois\u00e9s. Nous arriverons \u00e0 faire mieux. Les Canadiens ont le droit d'\u00eatre en s\u00e9curit\u00e9 en ligne et dans leur quotidien. Ils ont \u00e9galement droit \u00e0 un minimum de d\u00e9cence de la part de leurs politiciens. D'ailleurs, je demanderais \u00e0 mes coll\u00e8gues d'en face d'\u00e9viter de faire des observations quand quelqu'un parle de choses importantes. C'est ce qu'on appelle la d\u00e9cence. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8556966\" data-originallang=\"en\">En ce qui concerne les amendements au Code criminel, le projet de loi propose de d\u00e9finir le mot \u00ab haine \u00bb. Cette d\u00e9finition s'appliquerait aux deux infractions de propagande haineuse pr\u00e9vues \u00e0 l'article 319... </p>"
