"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"3477155\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Mr. Speaker, they are our society's exiled and marginalized. The worst thing we can do is push them even further away. Having access to a safe injection site brings them back to society. It shows them that there is a place for them and that professionals believe in their future. I cannot speak for them because I am not in their situation, but these people would surely like to be treated like human beings and to be loved. They would like to be able to heal, to have hope and to know that our culture is not abandoning them.</p>",

La pire chose qu'on puisse leur faire, c'est les repousser davantage. Avoir acc\u00e8s \u00e0 un site d'injection s\u00fbr les ram\u00e8ne dans la soci\u00e9t\u00e9. Cela leur montre qu'il y a une place pour eux et que des professionnels croient en leur avenir. Je ne peux pas le savoir parce que je ne vis pas ce qu'ils vivent, mais ces gens aimeraient s\u00fbrement \u00eatre trait\u00e9s comme des humains et \u00eatre aim\u00e9s. Ils voudraient pouvoir gu\u00e9rir, avoir de l'espoir et que notre culture ne les l\u00e2che pas.</p>"
