"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"2973569\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, I say hogwash to that. It is not just the Canada health transfers that show the government's hesitant support for health care. There were many measures in the omnibus budget that point to this: the $310 million cut to Health Canada; the complete gutting of groups that provided research and services specific to women and first nations; and the seeming abandonment of the accountability mechanism proposed for the Canada health transfer committed to in the 2003-04 health accord. This completes the picture of a government that seems nowhere near as concerned with Canada's health care system as it should be.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2973570\" data-originallang=\"en\">Instead of treating the federal government as a business, the government needs to remember it serves the people of Canada first and foremost, those same people who value health care and like to have peace of mind knowing that help is available to them regardless of their ability to pay. We need to start building the next generation of health care in our country.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2973571\" data-originallang=\"en\">Why are the Conservatives not looking at areas where we can control costs, such as bulk drug purchasing, and move on reforms from the Romanow report and the 2003-04 health accord designed to improve our system? That is my question.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"2973569\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, c'est de la foutaise. Il n'y a pas que les transferts en sant\u00e9 qui r\u00e9v\u00e8lent que le gouvernement h\u00e9site \u00e0 soutenir le r\u00e9seau de la sant\u00e9. Bon nombre de mesures du projet de loi fourre-tout en t\u00e9moignent: les compressions de 310 millions de dollars \u00e0 Sant\u00e9 Canada; l'\u00e9visc\u00e9ration totale de groupes qui effectuaient des recherches sur les femmes et les Premi\u00e8res Nations ou leur offraient des services; et l'abandon apparent du m\u00e9canisme de reddition de comptes propos\u00e9 dans l'accord de 2003-2004 sur la sant\u00e9 \u00e0 l'\u00e9gard des transferts en sant\u00e9 du Canada. Voil\u00e0 qui brosse un tableau complet d'un gouvernement qui ne semble pas s'int\u00e9resser autant qu'il le devrait \u00e0 la question du r\u00e9seau de la sant\u00e9 au Canada.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2973570\" data-originallang=\"en\">Au lieu de g\u00e9rer le gouvernement f\u00e9d\u00e9ral comme une entreprise, le gouvernement doit se rappeler qu'il est d'abord et avant tout au service des Canadiens, ceux-l\u00e0 m\u00eame qui ont les soins de sant\u00e9 \u00e0 coeur et qui aiment avoir l'esprit tranquille parce qu'ils savent qu'ils pourront obtenir des soins et ce, peu importe qu'ils en aient ou non les moyens. Il faut commencer \u00e0 b\u00e2tir le r\u00e9seau de sant\u00e9 de l'avenir au Canada.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2973571\" data-originallang=\"en\">Pourquoi les conservateurs ne se penchent-ils pas sur les secteurs o\u00f9 nous pouvons contr\u00f4ler les co\u00fbts, en achetant de grandes quantit\u00e9s de m\u00e9dicaments par exemple, et ne prennent-ils pas comme assise le rapport Romanow et l'accord de 2003-2004 sur la sant\u00e9 afin d'am\u00e9liorer notre r\u00e9seau? Voil\u00e0 ma question.</p>"
