They call it a system; they do not call it a justice system. There is under-reporting and there are problems with investigations. Some police services believe them; some police services do not. There are difficulties in obtaining additional evidence. There are difficulties with the Crown chosen to prosecute these files. There are issues with the overcrowding in our courts to begin with. We have to apply the Jordan principle. It is no small wonder that in Ontario alone there is an abysmal record of success in prosecuting sex assaults.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8902322\" data-originallang=\"en\">With all of the deficiencies that I just presented, which I presented to one of the member's colleagues, what does Bill <a data-HoCid=\"13608745\" href=\"/bills/45-1/C-11/\" title=\"An Act to amend the National Defence Act and other Acts\">C-11</a> do to address them?</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"8902320\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, je vais poser au d\u00e9put\u00e9 la m\u00eame question que j'ai pos\u00e9e \u00e0 un de ses coll\u00e8gues, car je n'ai pas obtenu de r\u00e9ponse.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8902321\" data-originallang=\"en\">C'est un fait: les victimes d'agression sexuelle ne font aucunement confiance au syst\u00e8me, peu importe qu'elles se trouvent devant un tribunal civil ou criminel. Elles parlent du syst\u00e8me, et non du syst\u00e8me de justice. Bien des crimes ne sont pas signal\u00e9s, et il y a des probl\u00e8mes avec les enqu\u00eates. Certains services de police croient les victimes, d'autres non. Obtenir des \u00e9l\u00e9ments de preuve suppl\u00e9mentaires est difficile. Il y a des probl\u00e8mes relatifs au procureur \u00e0 qui les poursuites sont confi\u00e9es. Les tribunaux sont d\u00e9j\u00e0 surcharg\u00e9s. Le principe de Jordan doit \u00eatre appliqu\u00e9. Il n'est pas \u00e9tonnant que, en Ontario seulement, le bilan en mati\u00e8re de poursuites pour agression sexuelle soit catastrophique.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8902322\" data-originallang=\"en\">Comment le projet de loi <a data-HoCid=\"13608745\" href=\"/bills/45-1/C-11/\" title=\"An Act to amend the National Defence Act and other Acts\">C\u201111</a> comble-t-il toutes les lacunes que je viens de pr\u00e9senter et que j'ai pr\u00e9sent\u00e9es \u00e0 un coll\u00e8gue du d\u00e9put\u00e9?</p>"
