"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"3477095\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, I am afraid the member misses the point. Communities already have a say. They have a say about any new service that is being put in a location in a community or neighbourhood. City councils do that all the time. They hold public meetings, listen to their citizens, and understand what the effects are. We hear about this all the time in the news. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3477096\" data-originallang=\"en\">This is not about that. This is about making it nearly impossible to have a safe injection site by putting stringent barriers to it. The Canadian Medical Association and all these scientific journals support the effectiveness of this measure in saving lives. That is what is important here.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"3477095\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, je crois que le d\u00e9put\u00e9 ne comprend rien. Les collectivit\u00e9s ont d\u00e9j\u00e0 leur mot \u00e0 dire. Elles peuvent se prononcer au sujet de tout nouveau service qui s'installe sur leur territoire. Les conseils municipaux consultent constamment leur population. Ils organisent des r\u00e9unions publiques, \u00e9coutent leurs citoyens et d\u00e9terminent quelle incidence aura un projet donn\u00e9. On entend r\u00e9guli\u00e8rement parler aux nouvelles de consultations du genre.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3477096\" data-originallang=\"en\">Ce n'est pas de \u00e7a dont il s'agit. Ce qu'on cherche \u00e0 faire, c'est d'imposer des contraintes tellement grandes qu'il en devient quasiment impossible d'ouvrir un centre d'injection supervis\u00e9e. L'Association m\u00e9dicale canadienne et toutes les revues scientifiques confirment l'efficacit\u00e9 de ces centres lorsqu'il s'agit de sauver des vies. C'est \u00e7a qui est important.</p>"
