It may have surprised someone listening for the first time to this subject. At the same time, Correctional Services Canada has acknowledged that about 80% of federal inmates have a substance abuse problem.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3478535\" data-originallang=\"en\">The NDP plan, enabling drug users to continue using drugs by giving them needles, is not the way to go. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3478536\" data-originallang=\"en\">How do these illegal substances, these drugs, get into the prisons in the first place? I think that is something Canadians would like to know.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"3478533\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, je remercie le d\u00e9put\u00e9 de son excellent travail au comit\u00e9.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3478534\" data-originallang=\"en\">Dans mon expos\u00e9 d'aujourd'hui, j'ai parl\u00e9 du nombre de saisies de drogue dans les p\u00e9nitenciers f\u00e9d\u00e9raux. Ceux qui entendent parler pour la premi\u00e8re fois de ce sujet ont peut-\u00eatre \u00e9t\u00e9 surpris. Toutefois, il faut savoir que, selon le Service correctionnel du Canada, 80 % des d\u00e9tenus sous responsabilit\u00e9 f\u00e9d\u00e9rale ont un probl\u00e8me de toxicomanie.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3478535\" data-originallang=\"en\">L'approche du NPD, qui consiste \u00e0 donner des seringues aux drogu\u00e9s pour qu'ils continuent \u00e0 consommer, n'est pas la bonne.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3478536\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mais comment ces drogues, des substances ill\u00e9gales, peuvent-elles se retrouver dans les prisons? \u00c0 mon avis, c'est ce que les Canadiens veulent savoir.</p>"
