"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"8953415\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, I hope that my colleague on the other side listened to my speech carefully. I did mention that we cannot change the system through legislation only. We cannot just use promises to change the system. We can make things work better only if the system is being supported with an implementation plan and with resources. That is why I pointed out that we have to give more capacity to Crown prosecutors, to law enforcement and to the people who are out in the community protecting us.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8953416\" data-originallang=\"en\">Legislative change is important, but there has to be capacity building with it.</p>",

J'ai mentionn\u00e9 que nous ne pouvons pas changer le syst\u00e8me uniquement par voie l\u00e9gislative. Les promesses ne suffiront pas non plus. Nous ne pourrons am\u00e9liorer les choses qu'\u00e0 l'aide d'un plan de mise en \u0153uvre et de ressources. C'est pourquoi j'ai soulign\u00e9 que nous devons donner plus de moyens aux procureurs de la Couronne, aux forces de l'ordre et aux personnes qui prot\u00e8gent les collectivit\u00e9s.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8953416\" data-originallang=\"en\">Les changements l\u00e9gislatifs sont importants, mais ils doivent s'accompagner d'un renforcement des capacit\u00e9s.</p>"
