"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"8876137\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, after 10 years of the Liberal government, Canada's immigration system is broken. The <a data-HoCid=\"314774\" href=\"/politicians/mark-carney/\" title=\"Mark Carney\">Prime Minister</a> promised he would be different, but nothing has changed. The only way to stop illegal border crossers from abusing our asylum system is to end the incentives that turn it into a back door for economic migration, yet the immigration minister has done literally nothing all summer. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8876138\" data-originallang=\"en\">Therefore, I ask again, why has the <a data-HoCid=\"314774\" href=\"/politicians/mark-carney/\" title=\"Mark Carney\">Prime Minister</a> put a minister who is totally out of her depth and making things worse on one of the most important files in cabinet?</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"8876137\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, apr\u00e8s 10 ans de gouvernement lib\u00e9ral, le syst\u00e8me d'immigration canadien est dysfonctionnel. Le <a data-HoCid=\"314774\" href=\"/politicians/mark-carney/\" title=\"Mark Carney\">premier ministre</a> a promis qu'il serait diff\u00e9rent, mais rien n'a chang\u00e9. La seule mani\u00e8re d'emp\u00eacher les personnes qui traversent ill\u00e9galement la fronti\u00e8re d'abuser de notre syst\u00e8me d'asile est de mettre fin aux incitatifs qui en font un moyen d\u00e9tourn\u00e9 de migration \u00e9conomique. Pourtant, la ministre de l'Immigration n'a litt\u00e9ralement rien fait durant l'\u00e9t\u00e9.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8876138\" data-originallang=\"en\">Par cons\u00e9quent, je pose de nouveau la question: pourquoi le <a data-HoCid=\"314774\" href=\"/politicians/mark-carney/\" title=\"Mark Carney\">premier ministre</a> a-t-il nomm\u00e9 une ministre compl\u00e8tement d\u00e9pass\u00e9e par la situation, et qui ne fait qu'aggraver les choses, alors qu'il s'agit de l'un des dossiers les plus importants du gouvernement?</p>"
