"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"8874748\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Mr. Speaker, I listened carefully to my colleague's speech, and I feel her community's pain. It has gone through very difficult times. However, I cannot help but think that the solution before us today is seen or interpreted as a silver bullet. It is as though agreeing to the \u201cthree strikes\u201d law will solve everything. We also have to think about the fact that, after serving their sentence, the individual comes home, comes back to the neighbourhood, comes back to the community. They do not just go away, and that worries us.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8874749\" data-originallang=\"fr\">I want to talk to my colleague about a very specific issue. I am very concerned about femicide, about women who are murdered by their spouse or a loved one. The Bloc Qu\u00e9b\u00e9cois has proposed that the Jordan ruling not apply in cases involving sex offences, kidnappings or sexually motivated murders. Does my colleague agree that we need better guidelines for the Jordan ruling?</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"8874748\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, j'ai bien entendu le discours de ma coll\u00e8gue et je ressens la souffrance de sa communaut\u00e9 d'avoir v\u00e9cu des choses tr\u00e8s difficiles. Cependant, je ne peux m'emp\u00eacher de penser que la solution qui nous est propos\u00e9e aujourd'hui est vue ou interpr\u00e9t\u00e9e comme une solution magique. C'est comme si le fait d'accepter la loi sur \u00ab les trois prises \u00bb \u00e9tait pour r\u00e9gler tout. Il faut penser aussi que la personne, apr\u00e8s sa peine, revient \u00e0 la maison, revient dans le quartier, revient dans la communaut\u00e9. Elle ne dispara\u00eet pas. \u00c7a, \u00e7a nous inqui\u00e8te.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8874749\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Je veux surtout entretenir ma coll\u00e8gue sur une question bien pr\u00e9cise. Je suis tr\u00e8s touch\u00e9e par les f\u00e9minicides, par les femmes qui se font assassiner par leur conjoint ou par un proche. Au Bloc qu\u00e9b\u00e9cois, nous avons propos\u00e9 que l'arr\u00eat Jordan ne s'applique pas dans les cas de crimes sexuels, d'enl\u00e8vements ou de meurtres \u00e0 caract\u00e8re sexuel. Ma coll\u00e8gue partage-t-elle notre opinion sur le fait qu'on devrait mieux encadrer l'arr\u00eat Jordan?</p>"
