"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"6971\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, it is clear that what is being proposed is not to affect agricultural use of pesticides.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6972\" data-originallang=\"en\">Let us do a cost benefit analysis. Let us put on one side the ability of someone to have unfettered right to use pesticides and to have an unnaturally pristine lawn. On the other side is the cost to human health. Some children will have neurological damage and some families will be unable to conceive as a result of pesticide exposure.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6973\" data-originallang=\"en\">We must err on the side of safety, especially when we are dealing with cosmetic use of pesticides. With this intention, we are not dealing with agricultural use.</p>",

D'un c\u00f4t\u00e9, il y a le droit absolu d'une personne d'utiliser des pesticides et d'avoir une pelouse impeccable d'une mani\u00e8re qui n'est pas naturelle. De l'autre, il y a les co\u00fbts pour la sant\u00e9 humaine. Certains enfants subiront des dommages neurologiques et certaines familles seront incapables de concevoir un enfant \u00e0 cause de leur exposition aux pesticides.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6973\" data-originallang=\"en\">Il faut pr\u00e9coniser la s\u00e9curit\u00e9, surtout lorsqu'il s'agit d'utilisation des pesticides \u00e0 des fins esth\u00e9tiques. \u00c0 cet \u00e9gard, nous ne parlons pas d'utilisation agricole.</p>"
