"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"4132139\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, I cannot actually agree with the member. She would like me to acknowledge something that is untrue. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4132140\" data-originallang=\"en\">We are talking about evidence again. Evidence is what used to happen. We would apply certain policies and the results would show that we got improved outcomes. Evidence is telling us that in fact the rates of smoking have gone down because of the regulations that have been applied and that alcohol use has gone down because regulations have been applied.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4132141\" data-originallang=\"en\">If we are very concerned about 11-to-15-year-olds using marijuana here more than in any other country in the world, we need to look at how we legalize, regulate and tax. We have seen this happen with very much more harmful drugs. If the member does not think that we should legalize and regulate, then is the member suggesting, as I asked before, that we actually make tobacco and alcohol illegal in this country?</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"4132139\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, je ne suis pas d'accord avec la d\u00e9put\u00e9e. Elle voudrait me faire dire une fausset\u00e9.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4132140\" data-originallang=\"en\">Encore une fois, c'est une question de donn\u00e9es probantes. Il fut un temps o\u00f9 les donn\u00e9es probantes avaient leur importance. On mettait en place certaines politiques, et les r\u00e9sultats d\u00e9montraient leur efficacit\u00e9. Les donn\u00e9es probantes indiquent que l'usage du tabac a diminu\u00e9 gr\u00e2ce aux effets de la r\u00e9glementation, et que la consommation d'alcool a aussi diminu\u00e9 gr\u00e2ce aux effets de la r\u00e9glementation.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4132141\" data-originallang=\"en\">Nous trouvons tr\u00e8s inqui\u00e9tant que les Canadiens de 11 \u00e0 15 ans soient les plus grands consommateurs de marijuana du monde entier dans leur groupe d'\u00e2ge. Il faut examiner comment l\u00e9galiser, r\u00e9glementer et taxer ce produit. Une d\u00e9marche semblable a d\u00e9j\u00e0 \u00e9t\u00e9 appliqu\u00e9e \u00e0 des drogues beaucoup plus dangereuses. Je r\u00e9p\u00e8te la question que j'ai pos\u00e9e plus t\u00f4t: si la d\u00e9put\u00e9e ne croit pas \u00e0 la pertinence de l\u00e9galiser et de r\u00e9glementer certains produits, croit-elle qu'il faudrait rendre le tabac et l'alcool ill\u00e9gaux au Canada?</p>"
