There is work behind Bill <a data-HoCid=\"13813664\" href=\"/bills/45-1/C-16/\" title=\"An Act to amend certain Acts in relation to criminal and correctional matters (child protection, gender-based violence, delays and other measures)\">C-16</a>, which, as I mentioned before, would be one of the most significant updates to Canada's criminal justice system. It is very aggressive in ensuring that we modernize the Criminal Code to respond to the most contemporary threats, to intervene earlier, to prevent violence and to make sure the justice system works faster and more fairly for victims and survivors. This work was not just done because we talked to a number of legislators. This is because of the work of the status of women committee. This is because of the work of advocate groups. This is because of all the victims of violence in this country. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"9119397\" data-originallang=\"en\">It is perhaps too long in the making, but it is finally here. Let us get going and let us pass this legislation.</p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"9119395\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madame la Pr\u00e9sidente, je remercie la d\u00e9put\u00e9e d'avoir parl\u00e9 de cette femme extraordinaire.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"9119396\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je vais r\u00e9p\u00e9ter ce que le <a data-HoCid=\"318625\" href=\"/politicians/sean-fraser/\" title=\"Sean Fraser\">ministre</a> a dit ce matin apr\u00e8s son discours. Il a fallu du travail pour arriver au projet de loi <a data-HoCid=\"13813664\" href=\"/bills/45-1/C-16/\" title=\"An Act to amend certain Acts in relation to criminal and correctional matters (child protection, gender-based violence, delays and other measures)\">C\u201116</a>, une mesure qui, comme je l'ai d\u00e9j\u00e0 mentionn\u00e9, repr\u00e9senterait l'une des plus importantes mises \u00e0 jour du syst\u00e8me de justice p\u00e9nale du Canada. Ce projet de loi vise r\u00e9solument \u00e0 moderniser le Code criminel afin de r\u00e9pondre aux menaces contemporaines et de veiller \u00e0 ce que le syst\u00e8me de justice fonctionne plus rapidement et plus \u00e9quitablement pour les victimes et les survivants, et afin qu'il soit possible d'intervenir plus t\u00f4t et de pr\u00e9venir la violence. Nous n'avons pas seulement discut\u00e9 avec un certain nombre de l\u00e9gislateurs. Nous sommes arriv\u00e9s \u00e0 ce projet de loi gr\u00e2ce au travail du comit\u00e9 de la condition f\u00e9minine, au travail des groupes de d\u00e9fense des droits, et en raison de toutes les victimes de violence dans notre pays.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"9119397\" data-originallang=\"en\">Ce projet de loi s'est peut-\u00eatre trop fait attendre, mais il est enfin l\u00e0. Allons de l'avant et adoptons-le.</p>"
