"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"9255587\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, before I go ahead with a question, I would like to acknowledge the death of Hassan Haidar, a resident of Windsor, who passed away in Lebanon last week. He was a father of five, a husband and a business owner. His death is a solemn reminder of the human cost of conflict. Our thoughts are with his family, his loved ones and all those who are grieving at this rather difficult time.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"9255588\" data-originallang=\"en\">The question I have for my friend is this. As a police officer, I have personally been involved in cases where evidence was excluded because proper legal steps were not followed or there was an overreach by certain officers. That directly reflects on the point of there being consistency and clarity in the law. If parts of this law are challenged through the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms and the evidence gets thrown out, what do we say to the victims who came to us and asked us to do something about this? These are not hypothetical concerns but things that actually happen. I would like to know from my friend what is in this bill that would prevent that from happening.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"9255587\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, avant de poser ma question, je tiens \u00e0 rendre hommage \u00e0 Hassan Haidar, un habitant de Windsor, qui est d\u00e9c\u00e9d\u00e9 au Liban la semaine derni\u00e8re. Il \u00e9tait p\u00e8re de cinq enfants, \u00e9poux et chef d'entreprise. Son d\u00e9c\u00e8s nous rappelle de mani\u00e8re poignante le co\u00fbt humain des conflits. Nos pens\u00e9es vont \u00e0 sa famille, \u00e0 ses proches et \u00e0 tous ceux qui sont en deuil en cette p\u00e9riode particuli\u00e8rement difficile.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"9255588\" data-originallang=\"en\">Voici la question que je pose \u00e0 mon ami. En tant que policier, j'ai moi-m\u00eame vu des affaires o\u00f9 des preuves ont \u00e9t\u00e9 \u00e9cart\u00e9es parce que les r\u00e8gles pour les constituer n'avaient pas \u00e9t\u00e9 respect\u00e9es ou parce que certains agents avaient outrepass\u00e9 leurs pouvoirs. Cette situation remet directement en cause la coh\u00e9rence et la clart\u00e9 de la loi. Si certaines parties de cette loi sont contest\u00e9es au titre de la Charte canadienne des droits et libert\u00e9s et que des preuves sont rejet\u00e9es, que dirons-nous aux victimes qui nous ont demand\u00e9 d'agir \u00e0 cet \u00e9gard? Il ne s'agit pas l\u00e0 de pr\u00e9occupations hypoth\u00e9tiques, mais de situations qui se produisent r\u00e9ellement. J'aimerais que mon ami m'explique ce qui, dans le projet de loi, pr\u00e9viendrait de telles contestations.</p>"
