        "en": "<p data-HoCid=\"2408632\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, I highly support the motion and I congratulate the member for bringing it forward. As one of the members who wrote to the government saying that we needed action on this front, I am delighted to see it going forward.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2408633\" data-originallang=\"en\">It would be impossible for people to remember all the products. Anaphylaxis affects over one million people. It could cause death to some people if they ate the wrong products. As a result of the complexity of today's foods, the adding of additives and all kinds of things, one can never know for sure if a certain item is in a product unless that item is specifically labelled.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2408634\" data-originallang=\"en\">Our leader has talked about increasing labelling and inspection to make foods safer in Canada. He talked a lot about that in rural Canada. In that spirit, I definitely support the idea brought forward by our critic, that no company should be exempt, for any reason, because anaphylaxis is dangerous for some Canadians.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2408635\" data-originallang=\"en\">I definitely congratulate the member and I strongly support the motion.</p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"2408632\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, j'appuie la motion sans r\u00e9serve et je f\u00e9licite le d\u00e9put\u00e9 de l'avoir pr\u00e9sent\u00e9e. En tant que l'un des d\u00e9put\u00e9s ayant \u00e9crit au gouvernement pour r\u00e9clamer des mesures dans ce dossier, je suis enchant\u00e9 de constater que nous sommes en train d'avancer.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2408633\" data-originallang=\"en\">Les gens ne peuvent pas se souvenir des noms de tous les produits. Plus d'un million de personnes courent un risque de choc anaphylactique. Des personnes pourraient mourir si elles consommaient certains aliments. En raison de la complexit\u00e9 actuelle de la composition des aliments, dans lesquels on trouve des additifs et d'autres choses, on ne peut pas savoir si un produit contient une substance donn\u00e9e, \u00e0 moins que ce ne soit indiqu\u00e9 sur l'\u00e9tiquette.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2408634\" data-originallang=\"en\">Notre chef a parl\u00e9 d'am\u00e9liorer l'\u00e9tiquetage et l'inspection des aliments, au Canada, pour les rendre plus s\u00fbrs. Il en a beaucoup parl\u00e9 lorsqu'il s'est adress\u00e9 aux gens des r\u00e9gions rurales du pays. Dans cette optique, j'appuie enti\u00e8rement la proposition de notre porte-parole voulant qu'aucune entreprise ne soit dispens\u00e9e des obligations relatives \u00e0 l'\u00e9tiquetage, pour quelque raison que ce soit, car le choc anaphylactique constitue un danger pour certains Canadiens.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2408635\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je f\u00e9licite le d\u00e9put\u00e9 et j'appuie fermement la motion.</p>"
