"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"9265211\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, I see a great deal of potential in the bill. I have been talking to people overseas as well. There is absolutely no recourse in our laws, and I certainly think we need that, but we have to draw a balance between, on one hand, the anarchy of pure freedom, and on the other hand, really heavy-handed authoritarianism. I think the bill has the potential to hit the middle ground there, but it must go to committee and have all-party input. I hope that the Liberals abide by that, and I hope that they honour the process of Parliament.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"9265211\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, je crois que ce projet de loi a beaucoup de potentiel. J'en discute avec des gens de l'\u00e9tranger aussi. Nos lois ne pr\u00e9voient absolument aucun recours, et je crois certainement qu'il nous en faut. Nous devons donc trouver le point d'\u00e9quilibre entre l'anarchie d'une libert\u00e9 pure et dure et l'autoritarisme particuli\u00e8rement brutal. \u00c0 mon avis, le projet de loi a le potentiel d'\u00e9tablir le juste milieu. Il doit donc \u00eatre renvoy\u00e9 au comit\u00e9 pour que tous les partis puissent y apporter leur contribution. J'esp\u00e8re que les lib\u00e9raux pourront respecter et honorer le processus parlementaire.</p>"
