"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"6568200\" data-originallang=\"en\">Thank you, Madam Chair.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6568201\" data-originallang=\"en\">Thank you, Minister, for your appearance today. You've kept this committee busy. You're represented very ably on the committee and your department by Mr. Virani, but it's nice to see you in person as well. We appreciate the opportunity to ask some questions of you.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6568202\" data-originallang=\"en\">Minister, on the topic of the day today, you had said previously at the Senate that there was no consensus on proceeding with expanding MAID to those whose sole underlying condition is mental illness. You've now accepted an amendment that would require additional legislation to stop MAID from being expanded to those with mental illness. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6568203\" data-originallang=\"en\">The members of this committee don't always see eye to eye, but everyone works very hard on this committee. We take our responsibilities very seriously. When we studied MAID in Bill <a data-HoCid=\"10875380\" href=\"/bills/43-2/C-7/\" title=\"An Act to amend the Criminal Code (medical assistance in dying)\">C-7</a>, the mental illness component was not a part of it. This is causing grave concerns. I have a letter that was sent to me and signed by many organizations that I know you're familiar with and respect, who have concerns about this. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6568204\" data-originallang=\"en\">In light of the vote that's taking place tonight, would you use your influence to at least provide that your Liberal members of Parliament have a free vote on the Conservative amendment to remove the mental illness component in Bill <a data-HoCid=\"10875380\" href=\"/bills/43-2/C-7/\" title=\"An Act to amend the Criminal Code (medical assistance in dying)\">C-7</a>?</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"6568200\" data-originallang=\"en\">Merci, madame la pr\u00e9sidente.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6568201\" data-originallang=\"en\">Merci, monsieur le ministre, de compara\u00eetre aujourd'hui. Vous avez gard\u00e9 le Comit\u00e9 occup\u00e9. Vous \u00eates tr\u00e8s bien repr\u00e9sent\u00e9 au Comit\u00e9 et dans votre minist\u00e8re par M. Virani, mais c'est bien de vous voir aussi en personne. Nous sommes heureux de pouvoir vous poser quelques questions. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6568202\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le ministre, par rapport au sujet du jour, vous aviez dit pr\u00e9c\u00e9demment au S\u00e9nat qu'il n'y avait aucun consensus concernant l'\u00e9largissement de l'AMM aux personnes dont la seule affection sous-jacente est la maladie mentale. Vous avez maintenant accept\u00e9 un amendement en fonction duquel il faudrait maintenant une loi suppl\u00e9mentaire pour freiner l'\u00e9largissement de l'AMM aux personnes aux prises avec une maladie mentale.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6568203\" data-originallang=\"en\">Les membres du Comit\u00e9 ne voient pas toujours les choses de la m\u00eame fa\u00e7on, mais tout le monde travaille tr\u00e8s fort au Comit\u00e9. Nous prenons nos responsabilit\u00e9s tr\u00e8s au s\u00e9rieux. Lorsque nous avons \u00e9tudi\u00e9 l'AMM dans le projet de loi <a data-HoCid=\"10875380\" href=\"/bills/43-2/C-7/\" title=\"An Act to amend the Criminal Code (medical assistance in dying)\">C-7</a>, l'aspect de la maladie mentale n'en faisait pas partie. Cela cause de graves pr\u00e9occupations. On m'a envoy\u00e9 une lettre qui \u00e9tait sign\u00e9e par de nombreuses organisations que je sais que vous connaissez et respectez, et elles ont des pr\u00e9occupations \u00e0 ce sujet. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6568204\" data-originallang=\"en\"> \u00c0 la lumi\u00e8re du vote qui aura lieu ce soir, utiliseriez-vous votre influence pour \u00e0 tout le moins permettre que les d\u00e9put\u00e9s lib\u00e9raux puissent voter librement sur l'amendement des conservateurs afin de retirer l'aspect de la maladie mentale du projet de loi <a data-HoCid=\"10875380\" href=\"/bills/43-2/C-7/\" title=\"An Act to amend the Criminal Code (medical assistance in dying)\">C-7</a>? </p>"
