"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"1377852\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madam Speaker, I heard the hon. member for <a data-HoCid=\"128555\" href=\"/politicians/megan-leslie/\" title=\"Megan Leslie\">Halifax</a> say before the break that whether or not we move certain drugs from schedule III to schedule I is not something most Canadians concern themselves with. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1377853\" data-originallang=\"en\">I disagree. One of the things that the bill will do is move GHB and other so-called date rape drugs from schedule III to schedule I, which would mean that those who traffic these kinds of drugs would be subject to higher maximum sentences.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1377854\" data-originallang=\"en\">In fact, I think this is one of the most important things about the bill. As the member should know, date rape is something that primarily affects women. I believe it is absolutely essential that we pass the bill so that those who deal in these kinds of drugs, and we are talking about sexual predators who victimize women, are given the appropriate sentences.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1377855\" data-originallang=\"en\">Does the member for <a data-HoCid=\"128555\" href=\"/politicians/megan-leslie/\" title=\"Megan Leslie\">Halifax</a> honestly not agree with the importance of this step?</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"1377852\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madame la Pr\u00e9sidente, j'ai entendu la d\u00e9put\u00e9e de <a data-HoCid=\"128555\" href=\"/politicians/megan-leslie/\" title=\"Megan Leslie\">Halifax</a> dire aujourd'hui avant la pause que la plupart des Canadiens se moquent que nous transf\u00e9rions certaines drogues inscrites \u00e0 l\u2019annexe III \u00e0 l\u2019annexe I. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1377853\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je ne suis pas d'accord. Un des effets que ce projet de loi aura, c'est de transf\u00e9rer le GHB et d'autres drogues du viol de l'annexe III \u00e0 l'annexe I. Cela signifie que ceux qui font le trafic de ce type de drogues seront passibles de peines maximales plus s\u00e9v\u00e8res. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1377854\" data-originallang=\"en\">En fait, je pense qu'il s'agit d'un des \u00e9l\u00e9ments les plus importants de ce projet de loi. La d\u00e9put\u00e9e devrait le savoir, les drogues du viol concernent avant tout les femmes. \u00c0 mon avis, il est vraiment vital que nous adoptions ce projet de loi afin que ceux qui font le trafic de ce type de drogues, nous parlons l\u00e0 de pr\u00e9dateurs sexuels qui agressent les femmes, re\u00e7oivent les peines appropri\u00e9es. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1377855\" data-originallang=\"en\">La d\u00e9put\u00e9e de <a data-HoCid=\"128555\" href=\"/politicians/megan-leslie/\" title=\"Megan Leslie\">Halifax</a> ne peut-elle honn\u00eatement convenir que cette mesure est importante? </p>"
