"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"8888002\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, of course we all want fewer hate crimes in our country. Of course we all abhor hate crimes when we see them. However, there are already many laws on the books to deal with pretty much any kind of hate crime that can be there. There has been the burning of churches, as an example. A lot of these crimes go unsolved, or the laws are not enforced.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8888003\" data-originallang=\"en\"> There are current laws on the books that fully allow us to deal with the situation; therefore I would suggest that we need to, yes, work on having fewer hate crimes in our country, but we need to give our police officers the resources they need to enforce the laws we already have.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"8888002\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, il est \u00e9vident que nous souhaitons tous voir le nombre de crimes haineux diminuer au pays. Bien s\u00fbr, nous \u00e9prouvons tous de l'horreur lorsque de tels actes se produisent. Cela dit, il existe d\u00e9j\u00e0 de nombreuses lois qui nous permettent de lutter contre pratiquement toutes les formes de crimes haineux. Des \u00e9glises ont \u00e9t\u00e9 incendi\u00e9es, par exemple. Bon nombre de ces crimes ne sont pas r\u00e9solus ou les lois ne sont pas appliqu\u00e9es.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8888003\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Les lois en vigueur permettent de faire face \u00e0 cette r\u00e9alit\u00e9. C'est pourquoi je propose que, tout en poursuivant nos efforts pour r\u00e9duire le nombre de crimes haineux, nous veillions aussi \u00e0 ce que nos forces polici\u00e8res disposent des ressources n\u00e9cessaires pour faire respecter les lois actuelles.</p>"
