        "en": "<p data-HoCid=\"4203828\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, I am absolutely appalled. We are talking about whether Canada is in compliance with a human rights tribunal ruling that has gone around the world for systemic discrimination against children. However, what I am hearing from that member makes it sound as if these children are getting a better deal than ordinary white Canadians, that they are getting access to services that other kids would not get, and that maybe there is more to do.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4203829\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Yes, there is more to do. If the member read the internal documents, they routinely deny emergency medical treatments. If the Liberals look at the documents, there is a 100% refusal rate at level 3. Is there more to do? Yes, there is more to do. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4203830\" data-originallang=\"en\">It is about being in compliance with the legally binding rules. I did not hear one word about whether the member's government will meet the obligations that have been laid down by the human rights tribunal to stop this systemic discrimination against these children that is endemic within Health Canada. It is a legally binding ruling. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4203831\" data-originallang=\"en\">I would have liked to have heard, \u201cYes, we will respect that ruling, and yes, we will make sure that discrimination stops\u201d, but I did not hear any of that. I heard more pointed talk and blather.</p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"4203828\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, je suis absolument scandalis\u00e9. Nous sommes en train de discuter des mesures que le Canada devait prendre pour se conformer \u00e0 une d\u00e9cision d'un tribunal des droits de la personne qui a \u00e9t\u00e9 diffus\u00e9e dans le monde entier et qui dit que des enfants subissent de la discrimination syst\u00e9matique. Pourtant, j'entends la d\u00e9put\u00e9e d'en face pr\u00e9tendre que ces enfants sont mieux trait\u00e9s que les enfants canadiens ordinaires de race blanche. Elle nous dit qu'ils ont acc\u00e8s \u00e0 des services qui ne sont pas fournis aux autres enfants et qu'on peut peut-\u00eatre faire davantage.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4203829\" data-originallang=\"en\">Oui, on peut faire davantage. Si la d\u00e9put\u00e9e avait lu les documents internes, elle saurait qu'on refuse r\u00e9guli\u00e8rement \u00e0 ces gens des traitements m\u00e9dicaux d'urgence. Si les lib\u00e9raux avaient lu les documents, ils sauraient que le taux de refus est de 100 % au niveau 3. Peut-on encore faire davantage? Oui, c'est certainement le cas.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4203830\" data-originallang=\"en\">Il faudrait au moins essayer de se conformer \u00e0 des r\u00e8gles qui sont juridiquement contraignantes. Je n'ai pas entendu la d\u00e9put\u00e9e nous indiquer que le gouvernement dont elle fait partie a l'intention de respecter les obligations que le tribunal des droits de la personne a \u00e9nonc\u00e9es pour que cesse la discrimination syst\u00e9matique contre ces enfants de la part de Sant\u00e9 Canada. La d\u00e9cision de ce tribunal est juridiquement contraignante.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4203831\" data-originallang=\"en\">J'aurais aim\u00e9 entendre la d\u00e9put\u00e9e nous r\u00e9pondre ceci: \u00ab Oui, nous allons respecter cette d\u00e9cision. Oui, nous allons veiller \u00e0 ce que cesse la discrimination. \u00bb Mais ce n'est pas ce que je viens d'entendre. J'ai plut\u00f4t entendu des r\u00e9ponses pr\u00e9fabriqu\u00e9es et des b\u00eatises.</p>"
