"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"3441636\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, the brain is the most vital organ in the body. It keeps us alive and makes us human, and if it does not work properly, every aspect of life may be compromised. One in three, or 10 million Canadians, will be affected by a neurological or psychiatric disorder or injury at some point in their lives. For example, autism spectrum disorder affects 190,000, multiple sclerosis affects 93,000 and Alzheimer's disease affects 500,000 people.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3441637\" data-originallang=\"en\"> The petitioners are calling for 2014 to be the year of the brain and for a pan-Canadian action plan for the brain developed with provincial and territorial ministers of health and stakeholders.</p>",

C'est lui qui nous fait vivre et qui fait de nous des \u00eatres humains. Et si le cerveau fonctionne mal, tous les aspects de la vie peuvent s'en ressentir. Un Canadien sur trois, soit 10 millions de personnes au pays, souffrira de troubles neurologiques ou psychiatriques au cours de sa vie. Par exemple, 190 000 personnes sont atteintes d'un trouble du spectre autistique, 93 000 personnes ont la scl\u00e9rose en plaques et 500 000 personnes ont la maladie d'Alzheimer. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3441637\" data-originallang=\"en\">Les p\u00e9titionnaires demandent que 2014 soit l'ann\u00e9e du cerveau. Ils r\u00e9clament qu'un plan d'action pancanadien pour la sant\u00e9 du cerveau soit \u00e9labor\u00e9 en collaboration avec les ministres de la Sant\u00e9 des provinces et des territoires et les intervenants. </p>"
