        "en": "<p data-HoCid=\"8922294\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Mr. Speaker, I know they are not happy with what I am saying, but their policies are what hurt Canadians every single day. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8922295\" data-originallang=\"en\">Under the Liberals' watch, we have had the fastest-shrinking economy, in which Canadians are now lining up at food banks. Crime, chaos and drugs are running rampant right across our country. There is a record amount of crime. Drugs are now being sold on our streets. Our kids are losing their lives. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8922296\" data-originallang=\"en\">Under their watch, in 10 years, 50,000 Canadians have lost their lives to drug overdoses, which is more than were lost in the Second World War. We have a homelessness crisis. Encampments are popping up in my riding in Oxford County and across our country from coast to coast to coast. Canadians are suffering from the Liberals' failed policies. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8922297\" data-originallang=\"en\">We had one of the best immigration programs in the world. It was the envy of the world. We brought in the brightest and the best, people who could achieve their full potential, who filled major needs in our country and were able to raise their family. However, under the Liberals' watch, they broke that too. They broke our immigration system, and then they started hijacking our institutions. They started censoring Canadians. They started telling Canadians what they could do, where they could go, what they could say and what they could see. It became all about control.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8922298\" data-originallang=\"en\">When the Liberals first brought in Bill <a data-HoCid=\"13543613\" href=\"/bills/45-1/C-2/\" title=\"An Act respecting certain measures relating to the security of the border between Canada and the United States and respecting other related security measures\">C-2</a>, they talked about public safety and immigration, but it was another attempt to attack Canadians' freedoms and privacy. The Liberals wanted to attack Canadians' way of life. It is because of the Conservatives, other parties and Canadians who raised their voices, who objected and said no to the Liberals' policies, that we have Bill <a data-HoCid=\"13632609\" href=\"/bills/45-1/C-12/\" title=\"An Act respecting certain measures relating to the security of Canada's borders and the integrity of the Canadian immigration system and respecting other related security measures\">C-12</a> in Parliament today.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8922299\" data-originallang=\"en\">I am a proud son of immigrants. My parents chose Canada in the early 1980s. They came for that Canadian dream. They worked hard and played by the rules. They were able to earn a decent living and raise a family under their watch. However, we do not have that system anymore. The Liberals have broken that system in almost all respects. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8922300\" data-originallang=\"en\">Let us take a look at the asylum system. We have over 300,000 folks lined up to get asylum. Many cases are bogus and fake asylum claims. It is a system that is now full of fraud and abuse, with an average wait time of almost 44 months to be processed in our country. This all started because of the Liberals' actions. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8922301\" data-originallang=\"en\">Members might remember that it was the government that put out a famous tweet when Trump was voted in the first time, which said that everybody is welcome. Can members guess what happened? </p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"8922294\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, je sais que mes propos leur d\u00e9plaisent, mais ce sont leurs politiques qui nuisent aux Canadiens tous les jours.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8922295\" data-originallang=\"en\">Sous les lib\u00e9raux, l'\u00e9conomie s'est contract\u00e9e plus rapidement que jamais, et les Canadiens font maintenant la file devant les banques alimentaires. La criminalit\u00e9, le chaos et la drogue font des ravages partout au pays. Un nombre sans pr\u00e9c\u00e9dent de crimes sont commis. Des drogues sont maintenant vendues dans nos rues. Des enfants meurent.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8922296\" data-originallang=\"en\">Pendant leurs 10 ann\u00e9es au pouvoir, 50 000 Canadiens sont morts d'une surdose de drogue; c'est plus que le nombre de Canadiens qui ont perdu la vie lors de la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Il y a une crise de l'itin\u00e9rance. Des campements apparaissent dans ma circonscription, dans le comt\u00e9 d'Oxford, et partout au pays. Les Canadiens souffrent des politiques inefficaces des lib\u00e9raux.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8922297\" data-originallang=\"en\">Nous avions l'un des meilleurs programmes d'immigration au monde. Il faisait l'envie du monde entier. Nous avons attir\u00e9 les meilleurs et les plus brillants, des gens qui pouvaient r\u00e9aliser leur plein potentiel, qui r\u00e9pondaient \u00e0 des besoins criants dans notre pays et qui \u00e9taient en mesure d'\u00e9lever leur famille. Encore l\u00e0, les lib\u00e9raux ont tout fait d\u00e9railler. Ils ont an\u00e9anti notre syst\u00e8me d'immigration, puis ils ont commenc\u00e9 \u00e0 d\u00e9tourner nos institutions. Ils ont commenc\u00e9 \u00e0 censurer les Canadiens. Les lib\u00e9raux ont commenc\u00e9 \u00e0 dire aux Canadiens ce qu'ils pouvaient faire, o\u00f9 ils pouvaient aller, ce qu'ils pouvaient dire et ce qu'ils pouvaient voir. Tout est devenu une question de contr\u00f4le.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8922298\" data-originallang=\"en\">Quand les lib\u00e9raux ont pr\u00e9sent\u00e9 le projet de loi <a data-HoCid=\"13543613\" href=\"/bills/45-1/C-2/\" title=\"An Act respecting certain measures relating to the security of the border between Canada and the United States and respecting other related security measures\">C\u20112</a>, ils ont parl\u00e9 de s\u00e9curit\u00e9 publique et d'immigration, mais c'\u00e9tait une autre tentative de s'en prendre aux libert\u00e9s et \u00e0 la vie priv\u00e9e des Canadiens. Les lib\u00e9raux voulaient s'attaquer au mode de vie des Canadiens. C'est gr\u00e2ce aux conservateurs, aux autres partis et aux Canadiens qui ont fait entendre leur voix, qui se sont oppos\u00e9s aux politiques des lib\u00e9raux et qui ont dit non, que le projet de loi <a data-HoCid=\"13632609\" href=\"/bills/45-1/C-12/\" title=\"An Act respecting certain measures relating to the security of Canada's borders and the integrity of the Canadian immigration system and respecting other related security measures\">C\u201112</a> est \u00e0 l'\u00e9tude au Parlement aujourd'hui.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8922299\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je suis fier d'\u00eatre un fils d'immigrants. Mes parents ont choisi le Canada au d\u00e9but des ann\u00e9es 1980. Ils sont venus pour r\u00e9aliser le r\u00eave canadien. Ils ont travaill\u00e9 fort et ils ont respect\u00e9 les r\u00e8gles. Ils ont r\u00e9ussi \u00e0 gagner d\u00e9cemment leur vie et \u00e0 \u00e9lever une famille. H\u00e9las, ce syst\u00e8me n'existe plus. Les lib\u00e9raux l'ont an\u00e9anti \u00e0 presque tous les \u00e9gards.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8922300\" data-originallang=\"en\">Jetons un coup d'\u0153il au syst\u00e8me d'octroi de l'asile. Plus de 300 000 personnes font la queue pour obtenir l'asile. Dans bien des cas, il s'agit de fausses demandes d'asile, des demandes bidon. Le syst\u00e8me est aujourd'hui gangren\u00e9 par la fraude et les abus, et le d\u00e9lai moyen de traitement des demandes dans notre pays est de pr\u00e8s de 44 mois. Tous ces probl\u00e8mes ont commenc\u00e9 \u00e0 cause des mesures prises par les lib\u00e9raux.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8922301\" data-originallang=\"en\">Les d\u00e9put\u00e9s se souviendront peut-\u00eatre que c'est le gouvernement lib\u00e9ral qui a publi\u00e9 un c\u00e9l\u00e8bre gazouillis lorsque Trump a \u00e9t\u00e9 \u00e9lu pour la premi\u00e8re fois, dans lequel il disait que tout le monde \u00e9tait le bienvenu. Les d\u00e9put\u00e9s peuvent-ils deviner ce qui s'est pass\u00e9?</p>"
