"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"9412681\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Mr. Speaker, this is obviously a very divisive issue. There are some parts of 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> that various communities support. There is also a wide range of issues within Bill C-9 that communities do not support. The leadership of the Abrahamic faiths, for example, has come out very strongly against parts of Bill C-9, especially around religious freedom. I wonder if my colleague could comment on the government's unwillingness to listen to anything besides the narrow confines of its interests rather than to the larger faith community.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"9412681\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, de toute \u00e9vidence, cette question s\u00e8me la division. Certaines dispositions du 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</a> ont l'appui de diverses communaut\u00e9s. Cependant, il y a aussi un large \u00e9ventail de dispositions dans le projet de loi C\u20119 que des communaut\u00e9s n'appuient pas. Les dirigeants des communaut\u00e9s de fois abrahamiques, par exemple, se sont prononc\u00e9s tr\u00e8s fermement contre certaines dispositions du projet de loi C\u20119, en particulier celles qui touchent la libert\u00e9 de religion. Je me demande si mon coll\u00e8gue pourrait nous dire ce qu'il pense du fait que le gouvernement refuse de tenir compte de quoi que ce soit en dehors des limites \u00e9troites de ses propres int\u00e9r\u00eats et de prendre en consid\u00e9ration les int\u00e9r\u00eats des groupes confessionnels en g\u00e9n\u00e9ral.</p>"
