"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"5086753\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madam Speaker, the member is quite right that 43% have said that in their lifetime they have tried cannabis, but another great statistic is that currently 88% of Canadians do not use marijuana. They are the Canadians who are going to suffer the unintended consequences from the rush. However, whether one is on the side of legalization or not, the real issue is how we protect the public and children in a sensible way.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5086754\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Why is the Liberal government rushing to do this within the 246 days left? It is because of that voting demographic, the 18 to 35 year olds, 40% of whom use marijuana. This is the biggest voting demographic. The government made a campaign promise that it would legalize marijuana. It has been two years in the making here. In two years, the Liberals have done nothing on public education. They have done nothing to prepare the public for the increase in drug-impaired driving that will result. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5086755\" data-originallang=\"en\"> I would encourage the member opposite to encourage his caucus to slow down, because they have had two years and they are not prepared.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"5086753\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madame la Pr\u00e9sidente, le d\u00e9put\u00e9 a raison quand il affirme que 43 % des Canadiens ont d\u00e9clar\u00e9 avoir d\u00e9j\u00e0 essay\u00e9 le cannabis, mais il ne faut pas oublier une autre statistique importante, soit qu'en ce moment 88 % des Canadiens ne consomment pas de marijuana. Ce sont ces Canadiens qui vont souffrir des cons\u00e9quences inattendues de cette pr\u00e9cipitation. Toutefois, que l'on soit pour ou contre la l\u00e9galisation, il n'en demeure pas moins qu'il faut prot\u00e9ger le public et les enfants de fa\u00e7on sens\u00e9e. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5086754\" data-originallang=\"en\">Pourquoi le gouvernement lib\u00e9ral se pr\u00e9cipite-t-il pour accomplir tout cela dans les 246 jours qui restent? C'est \u00e0 cause de cette tranche des \u00e9lecteurs dont 40 % consomment de la marijuana, soit les 18 \u00e0 35 ans? Il s'agit de la plus importante tranche de l'\u00e9lectorat. Le gouvernement a promis pendant la campagne qu'il l\u00e9galiserait la marijuana. Cela fait deux ans maintenant. En deux ans, les lib\u00e9raux n'ont rien fait pour sensibiliser la population. Ils n'ont rien fait pour pr\u00e9parer le public \u00e0 la hausse des cas de conduite avec les facult\u00e9s affaiblies par la drogue qui va en r\u00e9sulter.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5086755\" data-originallang=\"en\">J'invite le d\u00e9put\u00e9 d'en face \u00e0 inciter les membres de son caucus \u00e0 mettre la p\u00e9dale douce, car ils ont eu deux ans pour se pr\u00e9parer, et ils ne l'ont pas fait. </p>"
