I'm really glad that the country has seen fit to honour your service with the Order of Canada, not only for your great work in the HIV/AIDS space but for channelling the love and passion for your partner, Kimble, into a whole life's work on behalf of the community. Thank you.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5532384\" data-originallang=\"en\">I know you're an activist, and activism doesn't stop, does it? So you need to be here again. I appreciate that.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5532385\" data-originallang=\"en\">I want to ask you a technical question. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5532386\" data-originallang=\"en\">There are legal scholars who say that if we could do a carve-out vote for the LGBTQ community, we'd have thought of it already, and that if we repeal bawdy house provisions, we would also repeal some parts of that law that still have an application in today's society.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5532387\" data-originallang=\"en\">What would you say to people who say we have to hang on to bawdy house provisions and we can't figure out the terminology to do a carve-out for LGBTQ people?</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"5532382\" data-originallang=\"en\">Merci, monsieur le pr\u00e9sident. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5532383\" data-originallang=\"en\">Ron, merci beaucoup d'\u00eatre venu. Je suis vraiment heureux que le pays ait jug\u00e9 bon d'honorer votre service en vous d\u00e9cernant le prix de l'Ordre du Canada, non seulement pour votre excellent travail dans le domaine du VIH et du sida, mais \u00e9galement pour avoir transform\u00e9 votre amour et votre passion pour votre partenaire, Kimble, en toute une vie de travail au nom de la communaut\u00e9. Je vous remercie. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5532384\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je sais que vous \u00eates un activiste, et l'activisme ne s'arr\u00eate pas, n'est-ce pas? Vous devez donc \u00eatre ici de nouveau. Je comprends cela. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5532385\" data-originallang=\"en\">J'ai une question technique \u00e0 vous poser. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5532386\" data-originallang=\"en\">Certains juristes disent que, si nous pouvions tenir un vote d'exclusion pour la communaut\u00e9 LGBTQ, nous y aurions d\u00e9j\u00e0 pens\u00e9, et que, si nous abrogions les dispositions sur les maisons de d\u00e9bauche, nous en abrogerions \u00e9galement certaines parties qui sont encore applicables dans la soci\u00e9t\u00e9 d'aujourd'hui. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5532387\" data-originallang=\"en\">Que diriez-vous \u00e0 ceux qui affirment qu'il faut pr\u00e9server les dispositions sur les maisons de d\u00e9bauche et qu'il nous est impossible de d\u00e9terminer le libell\u00e9 pour exclure les personnes LGBTQ? </p>"
