It is that it is, by stealth, an effort to pretend and feign respect for the Supreme Court decision while, through every aspect of the bill, making it impossible to live up to what the Supreme Court has told Parliament we must do, which is respect charter rights and the evidence that says that InSite facilities are working.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3549869\" data-originallang=\"en\">I have been here for the debate all day. Every comment from a Conservative member of Parliament has not been for defending Bill <a data-HoCid=\"6254806\" href=\"/bills/41-2/C-2/\" title=\"An Act to amend the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act\">C-2</a> for what it pretends to be, a protection of communities act, a consultation with communities, but for what it really is: an effort to defeat the purposes of InSite. Every question from Conservatives has gone to the question of how we can possibly have a facility like InSite without encouraging and participating in the illegal drug trade.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3549870\" data-originallang=\"en\">The questions from Conservatives throughout the day have been honest. They have been from people who really do not want to see InSite facilities operate. They go to the real purpose of and motivation for Bill <a data-HoCid=\"6254806\" href=\"/bills/41-2/C-2/\" title=\"An Act to amend the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act\">C-2</a>, which is to defeat the existence of valuable facilities for harm reduction.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"3549867\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, je voudrais premi\u00e8rement f\u00e9liciter mon voisin et ami de <a data-HoCid=\"190572\" href=\"/politicians/murray-rankin/\" title=\"Murray Rankin\">Victoria</a> pour son excellent discours.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3549868\" data-originallang=\"en\">Voici ce qui me d\u00e9range dans le projet de loi <a data-HoCid=\"6254806\" href=\"/bills/41-2/C-2/\" title=\"An Act to amend the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act\">C-2</a> depuis le d\u00e9but. C'est cette mani\u00e8re sournoise d'agir, en faisant semblant de vouloir respecter la d\u00e9cision de la Cour supr\u00eame alors que, toutes les dispositions du projet de loi convergent pour nous emp\u00eacher de nous conformer \u00e0 ce que la Cour supr\u00eame a demand\u00e9 au Parlement concernant le respect des droits prot\u00e9g\u00e9s par la Charte et les donn\u00e9es qui montrent les r\u00e9sultats obtenus par le centre InSite.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3549869\" data-originallang=\"en\">J'ai \u00e9t\u00e9 pr\u00e9sente aujourd'hui pendant tout le d\u00e9bat. Aucun d\u00e9put\u00e9 conservateur n'a d\u00e9fendu le projet de loi <a data-HoCid=\"6254806\" href=\"/bills/41-2/C-2/\" title=\"An Act to amend the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act\">C-2</a> en invoquant sa raison d'\u00eatre suppos\u00e9e, soit le respect des collectivit\u00e9s. Les interventions des conservateurs ont \u00e9t\u00e9 conformes au motif r\u00e9el du gouvernement: montrer que le centre InSite va \u00e0 l'encontre de l'objectif poursuivi. Chacune de leur question vise \u00e0 nous montrer qu'un centre comme InSite est forc\u00e9ment une mani\u00e8re d'encourager le trafic de stup\u00e9fiants et d'y participer.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3549870\" data-originallang=\"en\">Au cours de la journ\u00e9e, les conservateurs ont fait preuve d'honn\u00eatet\u00e9 dans les questions qu'ils ont pos\u00e9es. Ce sont des questions qui montrent qu'ils ne veulent pas que le centre InSite puisse exister. Elles r\u00e9v\u00e8lent le but v\u00e9ritable du projet de loi <a data-HoCid=\"6254806\" href=\"/bills/41-2/C-2/\" title=\"An Act to amend the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act\">C-2</a>, qui est de s'opposer \u00e0 l'existence des \u00e9tablissements utiles pour r\u00e9duire les m\u00e9faits de la drogue.</p>"
