"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"4268607\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, that is an excellent question. In the rural regions in the north and in all our communities, we see a crisis in health care, in particular a lack of access to mental health services. However, up in the far north, in indigenous country, the disparities grow exponentially. That is why we are two months into a health state of emergency in Treaty 9 territory. We can look at the crisis in rural Canada and then see how magnified it is.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4268608\" data-originallang=\"en\">If we put the resources in, it will save us money. We will not be bringing young people out by medevac, we will not be dealing with suicides, we will not be dealing with the traumas. Let us put the resources in now for front-line services, and then we can start to build the kind of future that we all believe in as parliamentarians.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"4268607\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, c\u2019est une excellente question. Dans les r\u00e9gions rurales du nord et dans toutes nos collectivit\u00e9s, nous traversons une crise des services de sant\u00e9, en particulier en ce qui a trait aux services de sant\u00e9 mentale. Toutefois, dans le Grand Nord, en territoire autochtone, les disparit\u00e9s s\u2019accentuent hors de toute mesure. C\u2019est pour cette raison que nous vivons depuis deux mois une situation d\u2019urgence dans le territoire vis\u00e9 par le Trait\u00e9 n<sup>o</sup> 9. Si nous la comparons \u00e0 la crise que conna\u00eet le Canada rural, force est de constater qu\u2019elle est encore beaucoup plus grave.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4268608\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Si nous y affectons des ressources, nous \u00e9conomiserons de l\u2019argent. Nous n\u2019aurons pas besoin de proc\u00e9der \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e9vacuation m\u00e9dicale d\u2019adolescents, nous n'aurons pas \u00e0 faire face \u00e0 des suicides, nous n\u2019aurons pas \u00e0 traiter de traumatismes. Affectons-y d\u00e8s maintenant des ressources pour les services de premi\u00e8re ligne, et nous pourrons ensuite commencer \u00e0 b\u00e2tir le genre d\u2019avenir auquel croient tous les d\u00e9put\u00e9s.</p>"
