"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"2536299\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, the Liberal Party has been somewhat supportive of the bill and we appreciate the member's efforts in bringing it forward. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2536300\" data-originallang=\"en\">The member touched upon a very serious issue. Many consumer advocates and others would see the merit in the bill, but there is another issue dealing with our eyes and vision. That is the whole concept of laser surgery, which is becoming more and more commonplace.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2536301\" data-originallang=\"en\">I wonder if the member could give us her thoughts in terms of what role government might have to play in this whole area that is relatively new to our health care system? Does she believe there is any merit in looking at ways in which we can support laser eye treatment, whether it is the federal government or provincial government?</p>",

De nombreux protecteurs du consommateur et autres intervenants verront la valeur du projet de loi, mais il y a une autre question qui concerne les yeux et la vision. Il s'agit des chirurgies au laser, qui sont de plus en plus populaires.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2536301\" data-originallang=\"en\">La d\u00e9put\u00e9e pourrait-elle nous dire quel r\u00f4le, \u00e0 son avis, le gouvernement devrait jouer dans ce secteur qui en est encore \u00e0 ses premiers pas dans notre syst\u00e8me de soins de sant\u00e9? Croit-elle que nous devrions envisager des moyens de soutenir le traitement des yeux par laser, sous forme d'aide f\u00e9d\u00e9rale ou provinciale?</p>"
