"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"2608818\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Mr. Speaker, today I wish to recognize Canadian HIV/AIDS Awareness Week, which runs from November 24 until World AIDS Day on December 1. This is an opportunity to acknowledge and celebrate the invaluable work of health professionals and agencies such as COCQ-SIDA and the Canadian AIDS Society in raising public awareness about the risks related to this devastating disease and how to prevent it from spreading. Despite such efforts, there are still more than 3,000 new cases of AIDS in Canada every year. We must recognize the important contribution of those who help people who have HIV/AIDS, their families and their loved ones.<sup></sup></p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2608819\" data-originallang=\"fr\">I was saddened to learn that because of this government's inaction, funding for these agencies is in jeopardy. Many will no longer be able to continue their activities or pay their employees beyond March 31, 2012. We must continue to support research into finding a cure and support the various stakeholders who work on prevention and awareness, since contracting HIV/AIDS is preventable. I hope the government will do the right thing.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"2608818\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, j'aimerais souligner aujourd'hui la Semaine canadienne de sensibilisation au VIH-sida, qui se d\u00e9roule du 24 novembre au 1<sup>er</sup> d\u00e9cembre, soit la Journ\u00e9e mondiale de lutte contre le sida. C'est l'occasion de reconna\u00eetre et de valoriser le travail indispensable que r\u00e9alisent les professionnels de la sant\u00e9 et les organismes tels que la COCQ-SIDA et la Soci\u00e9t\u00e9 canadienne du sida pour sensibiliser la population aux dangers li\u00e9s \u00e0 cette maladie d\u00e9vastatrice ainsi que pour pr\u00e9venir sa transmission. Malgr\u00e9 cela, il y a encore plus de 3 000 nouveaux cas de contraction du sida par ann\u00e9e au Canada. Il faut donc mettre en valeur l'importante contribution des gens qui viennent en aide aux personnes infect\u00e9es, \u00e0 leur famille et \u00e0 leurs proches. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2608819\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Je suis attrist\u00e9e d'apprendre qu'\u00e0 cause de l'inaction de ce gouvernement, le financement de ces organismes est en p\u00e9ril. Plusieurs ne pourront plus poursuivre leurs activit\u00e9s ou payer leurs employ\u00e9s au-del\u00e0 du 31 mars 2012. Pourtant, il faut continuer \u00e0 appuyer la recherche pour trouver un rem\u00e8de et soutenir les divers intervenants qui agissent sur les plans de la pr\u00e9vention et de la sensibilisation, puisque la contraction du VIH-sida est \u00e9vitable. J'esp\u00e8re que le gouvernement sera au rendez-vous.</p>"
