"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"9226310\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, my friend has done a phenomenal job on the justice committee of identifying the problems with 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-9</a> and defending not only the Christian faith but all faiths that would be implicated in this legislation. When I look at my community, I do not think there has been a bill or an issue that has had more correspondence directed to me, or to many members in this House on both sides, with constituents' concerns. When we look at how this could impact faith institutions, these are the institutions that began our universities, that began many of our hospitals and that continue to provide many of the social services in our communities, such as feeding the hungry, clothing the naked and visiting people in prison. Those primarily come out of faith institutions that are motivated by their understanding of scripture and the love of God.</p>",

Je crois qu'aucun projet de loi et qu'aucun enjeu n'a suscit\u00e9 autant de messages de concitoyens inquiets adress\u00e9s \u00e0 moi-m\u00eame ou \u00e0 de nombreux autres d\u00e9put\u00e9s de tous les partis. Il faut penser aux r\u00e9percussions potentielles sur les institutions confessionnelles, celles qui ont fond\u00e9 nos universit\u00e9s, qui ont cr\u00e9\u00e9 bon nombre de nos h\u00f4pitaux et qui continuent d'assurer une grande partie des services sociaux communautaires, comme la distribution de nourriture et de v\u00eatements aux d\u00e9munis et les visites aux d\u00e9tenus. Ces actions \u00e9manent principalement d'institutions confessionnelles anim\u00e9es par leur interpr\u00e9tation des \u00c9critures et l'amour de Dieu.</p>"
