        "en": "<p data-HoCid=\"2085243\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, it is unfortunate that my colleague has gotten off track. As we were discussing earlier, we have talked about the long form census today. We heard from witnesses at committee that it does not have to be a mandatory census. We do not have to threaten Canadians to get the information the government and others need to set up their programs.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2085244\" data-originallang=\"en\">I want to point out that we actually have put $25 billion in total transfers toward health care. That is 6% more than last year. Government obviously recognizes the importance of affordable access to health care and to drugs, but we also recognize and support and respect the role of provincial and territorial governments. We have continued to honour the 2004 health accord, which provides $40 billion in additional funding to provinces and territories. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2085245\" data-originallang=\"en\">One of the frustrating things, actually, with respect to the initiatives we have taken is that her party has virtually opposed every one of them. We would call on them to work with us to provide better health care services across the country for all Canadians.</p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"2085243\" data-originallang=\"en\">Il est malheureux que ma coll\u00e8gue se soit \u00e9cart\u00e9e du sujet. Comme nous l'avons soulign\u00e9 pr\u00e9c\u00e9demment, nous avons parl\u00e9 du questionnaire de recensement d\u00e9taill\u00e9 aujourd'hui. Nous avons entendu en comit\u00e9 des t\u00e9moins qui nous ont affirm\u00e9 qu'il n'\u00e9tait pas n\u00e9cessaire de rendre la r\u00e9ponse \u00e0 ce questionnaire obligatoire. Nous ne sommes pas oblig\u00e9s de menacer les Canadiens pour obtenir les renseignements dont le gouvernement et d'autres ont besoin pour mettre leurs programmes sur pied. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2085244\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je tiens \u00e0 souligner que nous avons accord\u00e9 25 milliards de dollars en transferts au titre de la sant\u00e9. C'est 6 p. 100 de plus que l'an dernier. Il est \u00e9vident que le gouvernement reconna\u00eet l'importante d'un acc\u00e8s abordable aux soins de sant\u00e9 et aux m\u00e9dicaments, mais nous reconnaissons, appuyons et respectons aussi le r\u00f4le que jouent nos gouvernements provinciaux et territoriaux. Nous avons continu\u00e9 d'honorer l'accord de 2004 sur la sant\u00e9 qui fournit un montant suppl\u00e9mentaire de 40 milliards de dollars aux provinces et aux territoires. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2085245\" data-originallang=\"en\">En fait, l'une des choses les plus frustrantes en ce qui a trait aux diverses initiatives que nous avons adopt\u00e9es, c'est que les membres du parti de la d\u00e9put\u00e9e se sont oppos\u00e9s \u00e0 toutes nos propositions. Nous les exhortons aujourd'hui \u00e0 s'allier avec nous pour fournir de meilleurs services de sant\u00e9 \u00e0 tous les Canadiens. </p>"
