"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"9265210\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, in the 30 years of policing that I did, getting access to information was a huge challenge for us. Oftentimes the evidence we needed to prosecute an accused person was sitting on a server outside of Canada, and co-operation was voluntary. Does my colleague see any practical solutions in the bill that would help with cross-border access and enforcement?</p>",

Souvent, les \u00e9l\u00e9ments de preuve dont on avait besoin pour entamer des poursuites contre un accus\u00e9 dormaient dans un serveur \u00e0 l'\u00e9tranger, et la coop\u00e9ration des autres pays restait volontaire. Mon coll\u00e8gue voit-il, dans le projet de loi, des solutions pratiques qui favoriseraient l'acc\u00e8s transfrontalier et l'application des lois? </p>"
