        "en": "<p data-HoCid=\"3549976\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Mr. Speaker, I want to thank my colleague for his speech and for reminding us to choose our words wisely. We must think things through before making decisions for the common good.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3549977\" data-originallang=\"fr\">I would like to point out that InSite is innovative. It meets the needs of the community and it came out of the Vancouver community. When it comes to health, we have to be more and more innovative. I think that Canada is a country that could be innovative and play a leadership role. What is more, we are not alone. This type of site has been set up in a number of cities in Europe and Australia. These sites have been recognized as helping vulnerable groups. They are accepted by the community because they improve the health of their clients, reduce the numbers of overdose deaths, and reduce drug use in public, open spaces.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3549978\" data-originallang=\"fr\">I would like my colleague to elaborate on the innovativeness of a centre like InSite and the importance of it being community-based. It is too bad that a bill like <a data-HoCid=\"6254806\" href=\"/bills/41-2/C-2/\" title=\"An Act to amend the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act\">C-2</a> would eliminate a good initiative. </p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"3549976\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, j'aimerais remercier mon coll\u00e8gue de son discours et de nous avoir rappel\u00e9 d'utiliser des termes judicieux. On doit avoir fait une r\u00e9flexion avant de prendre des d\u00e9cisions pour le bien commun.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3549977\" data-originallang=\"fr\">J'aimerais souligner que le site InSite est une innovation. C'est un site qui r\u00e9pond aux besoins de la communaut\u00e9 et qui est issu de la communaut\u00e9 de Vancouver. Dans le domaine de la sant\u00e9, il faudra de plus en plus faire preuve d'innovation. Je pense que le Canada est un pays qui pourra faire preuve d'innovation et tenir un r\u00f4le de leader. D'ailleurs, nous ne sommes pas les seuls. En Europe et en Australie, ce type de site a \u00e9t\u00e9 mis en place dans plusieurs villes. De plus, on a reconnu que cela rejoignait des groupes vuln\u00e9rables. De tels sites sont accept\u00e9s par la communaut\u00e9, puisqu'ils permettent d'am\u00e9liorer l'\u00e9tat de sant\u00e9, de r\u00e9duire les d\u00e9c\u00e8s par surdose et de r\u00e9duire la consommation de drogues dans des espaces publics, des espaces ouverts.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3549978\" data-originallang=\"fr\">J'aimerais que mon coll\u00e8gue parle davantage de l'innovation d'un centre comme InSite et de l'importance que cela soit issu de la communaut\u00e9. Il est dommage qu'un projet de loi comme 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> vise \u00e0 an\u00e9antir une belle initiative.</p>"
