The court said that these cuts jeopardized the lives of children in a manner \u201cthat shocks the conscience and outrages our standards of decency.\u201d This is a recurrent theme for the government.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3837804\" data-originallang=\"en\">This is about saving the lives of kids. This is about providing prenatal care for women. This is about our shared values.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3837805\" data-originallang=\"en\">Will the government do the right thing and drop this court challenge?</p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"3837803\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, les conservateurs reviennent \u00e0 la charge: ils contestent une d\u00e9cision de la Cour f\u00e9d\u00e9rale qui invalide les coupes dans les soins de sant\u00e9 aux r\u00e9fugi\u00e9s. La cour a qualifi\u00e9 ces coupes de \u00ab cruelles et inusit\u00e9es \u00bb et dit qu'elles pourraient compromettre la vie d'enfants d'une mani\u00e8re \u00ab qui choque la conscience et qui porte atteinte \u00e0 la dignit\u00e9 humaine \u00bb. Cela n'a rien de nouveau pour ce gouvernement.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3837804\" data-originallang=\"en\">Il est question ici de sauver des vies d'enfants et d'offrir des soins pr\u00e9nataux aux femmes enceintes. Ces coupes remettent en question nos valeurs communes.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3837805\" data-originallang=\"en\">Le gouvernement fera-t-il ce qui s'impose et laissera-t-il tomber cette contestation judiciaire?</p>"
