"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"3983048\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, I want to thank colleagues for what I regard as a largely respectful debate throughout the day and minimal partisanship. I want to address the one specific issue that seems to be of most concern, because once people work through the issues around physician-assisted suicide, it comes down to giving an appropriate, respectful length of time to what should be the legislative response. Therefore, I would be interested in the hon. member's views with respect to the compressed 12-month timeline that the Supreme Court has given in deference to Parliament, whether she has any thoughts as to whether that is sufficient and, if it is sufficient, if this is the appropriate motion to get it going.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"3983048\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, je tiens \u00e0 remercier mes coll\u00e8gues de ce d\u00e9bat qui, selon moi, s'est g\u00e9n\u00e9ralement d\u00e9roul\u00e9 dans un esprit de respect, sans trop de partisanerie. Je voudrais aborder une question pr\u00e9cise qui semble susciter le plus d'inqui\u00e9tudes, car une fois que les gens auront pass\u00e9 en revue les enjeux li\u00e9s au suicide assist\u00e9 par un m\u00e9decin, il faudra consacrer, en toute d\u00e9f\u00e9rence, suffisamment de temps \u00e0 la r\u00e9ponse l\u00e9gislative. J'aimerais donc conna\u00eetre l'avis de la d\u00e9put\u00e9e sur le d\u00e9lai de 12 mois que la Cour supr\u00eame a impos\u00e9 au Parlement. Trouve-t-elle le d\u00e9lai suffisant et, le cas \u00e9ch\u00e9ant, croit-elle qu'il s'agit de la motion appropri\u00e9e pour aller de l'avant? </p>"
