Using the example of extortion alone, extortion would in fact be better dealt with by passing Bill <a data-HoCid=\"13543613\" href=\"/bills/45-1/C-2/\" title=\"An Act respecting certain measures relating to the security of the border between Canada and the United States and respecting other related security measures\">C-2</a> and Bill <a data-HoCid=\"13679516\" href=\"/bills/45-1/C-14/\" title=\"An Act to amend the Criminal Code, the Youth Criminal Justice Act and the National Defence Act (bail and sentencing)\">C-14</a>. Those are lawful access and bail reform legislation. The Conservative Party is the only reason those two pieces of legislation are not passing.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"9142103\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Why does the Conservative Party have so much hypocrisy and absolutely no shame on this crime file?</p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"9142102\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, comprendre, \u00e9valuer et agir pour les victimes de crimes est ce qui motive principalement le <a data-HoCid=\"314774\" href=\"/politicians/mark-carney/\" title=\"Mark Carney\">premier ministre</a> et tous les d\u00e9put\u00e9s lib\u00e9raux \u00e0 pr\u00e9senter \u00e0 la Chambre toute une s\u00e9rie de projets de loi sur la criminalit\u00e9. Si l'on prend l'exemple de l'extorsion, celle-ci serait en fait mieux combattue si l'on adoptait le projet de loi <a data-HoCid=\"13543613\" href=\"/bills/45-1/C-2/\" title=\"An Act respecting certain measures relating to the security of the border between Canada and the United States and respecting other related security measures\">C\u20112</a> et le projet de loi <a data-HoCid=\"13679516\" href=\"/bills/45-1/C-14/\" title=\"An Act to amend the Criminal Code, the Youth Criminal Justice Act and the National Defence Act (bail and sentencing)\">C\u201114</a>. Il s'agit de mesures l\u00e9gislatives visant \u00e0 r\u00e9former l'acc\u00e8s l\u00e9gal et la mise en libert\u00e9 sous caution. Le Parti conservateur est la seule raison pour laquelle ces deux projets de loi n'ont pas encore \u00e9t\u00e9 adopt\u00e9s. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"9142103\" data-originallang=\"en\">Pourquoi le Parti conservateur fait-il preuve d'une telle hypocrisie \u00e9hont\u00e9e dans ce dossier concernant la criminalit\u00e9? </p>"
