"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"9142141\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for his speech. I also enjoy working with him on the Standing Committee on Justice and Human Rights. I commend his energy and his passion for the rule of law.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"9142142\" data-originallang=\"fr\">That said, we do not agree with today's motion. That is obvious. I have said so several times already.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"9142143\" data-originallang=\"fr\">My question relates to his passion for justice and the rule of law. 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\u201114</a> is coming back to the House on Friday, I believe. Will our Conservative colleagues vote in favour, since I heard them say several times that it is a step in the right direction? Can we also hope that they will support Bill <a data-HoCid=\"13590613\" href=\"/bills/45-1/C-9/\" title=\"An Act to amend the Criminal Code (hate propaganda, hate crime and access to religious or cultural places)\">C\u20119</a>, the combatting hate act, which will be studied in committee tomorrow? Afterwards, we will be looking at 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\u201116</a>.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"9142144\" data-originallang=\"fr\"> Do I take it, from this surge of passion for the law, that we will be able to make progress and pass Bills C\u201114, C\u20119 and C\u201116 in the coming weeks?</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"9142141\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, je remercie mon coll\u00e8gue de son discours. J'ai \u00e9galement beaucoup de plaisir \u00e0 travailler avec lui au Comit\u00e9 permanent de la justice et des droits de la personne. Je reconnais sa vigueur et sa passion pour la r\u00e8gle de droit et je l'appr\u00e9cie.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"9142142\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Cela dit, nous ne sommes pas d'accord sur la motion d'aujourd'hui, cela va de soi. Je l'ai d\u00e9j\u00e0 dit suffisamment souvent.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"9142143\" data-originallang=\"fr\">La question que je me pose est li\u00e9e \u00e0 cette passion pour la justice et la r\u00e8gle de droit. 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> reviendra \u00e0 la Chambre vendredi, je crois. Peut-on esp\u00e9rer un vote positif de la part de nos coll\u00e8gues conservateurs, que j'ai entendus dire \u00e0 quelques reprises que c'est un pas dans la bonne direction? Peut\u2011on \u00e9galement esp\u00e9rer un vote favorable sur le projet de loi <a data-HoCid=\"13590613\" href=\"/bills/45-1/C-9/\" title=\"An Act to amend the Criminal Code (hate propaganda, hate crime and access to religious or cultural places)\">C\u20119, Loi visant \u00e0 lutter contre la haine</a>, qui sera \u00e9tudi\u00e9 en comit\u00e9 demain? Ensuite, nous allons \u00e9tudier le 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>. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"9142144\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Dois\u2011je comprendre de cet \u00e9lan de passion pour le droit que nous pourrons avancer et adopter, dans les prochaines semaines, les projets de loi C\u201114, C\u20119 et C\u201116?</p>"
