In view of the recent law enacted by the U.S. Congress after October 4, President Bush has opened the border to prescription drugs which has caused the U.S. customs service to stop seizing these purchases entering America from Canada. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"231718\" data-originallang=\"en\">We believe this is a first step to the full legalization of prescription drug imports from Canada that could come by the end of this year. We need to protect ourselves from this dramatic expansion of importation. We need to ensure that we avoid becoming America's drug store and yet we believe that since coming to office the new Conservative government has taken no action and, in fact, the health minister has said that he is not worried and that he will only respond when drug shortages occur.</p>\n<p class=\"procedural\" data-HoCid=\"6\"> (Motions deemed adopted, bill read the first time and printed) </p>",

En raison d'une loi r\u00e9cente \u00e9dict\u00e9e par le Congr\u00e8s des \u00c9tats-Unis, \u00e0 compter du 4 octobre, le pr\u00e9sident Bush a ouvert la fronti\u00e8re aux m\u00e9dicaments d'ordonnance, de telle sorte que le service des douanes des \u00c9tats-Unis a cess\u00e9 de saisir les m\u00e9dicaments achet\u00e9s au Canada qui entrent aux \u00c9tats-Unis.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"231718\" data-originallang=\"en\">Nous estimons qu'il s'agit l\u00e0 d'une premi\u00e8re \u00e9tape vers la l\u00e9galisation compl\u00e8te des importations de m\u00e9dicaments d'ordonnance en provenance du Canada, qui pourrait avoir lieu d'ici la fin de la pr\u00e9sente ann\u00e9e. Nous devons nous prot\u00e9ger de cette augmentation spectaculaire des importations, tout en veillant \u00e0 ne pas devenir la pharmacie des \u00c9tats-Unis. Depuis son accession au pouvoir, le nouveau gouvernement conservateur n'a pris aucune mesure et le ministre de la Sant\u00e9 a m\u00eame d\u00e9clar\u00e9 qu'il ne s'inqui\u00e9tait pas et qu'il n'allait r\u00e9agir qu'en cas de p\u00e9nurie de m\u00e9dicaments.</p>\n<p class=\"procedural\" data-HoCid=\"6\">(Les motions sont r\u00e9put\u00e9es adopt\u00e9es, le projet de loi est lu pour la premi\u00e8re fois et imprim\u00e9.)</p>"
