"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"5035162\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, I think my colleague had a good question there that deserves a better answer than what we received. We need to recognize that the motion that the NDP has before us today is based on the parliamentary budget officer's report. That report was requested by the health committee. It is sitting and talking about the pharmacare program. It asked the parliamentary budget officer to submit a report. That report has not even been presented to the health committee. The health committee has done a lot of fantastic work on this issue. However, we now have a member of the New Democratic Party saying, \u201cWe want this report; we want this.\u201d Why would the New Democrats not take the ideas that are coming out of the standing committee, and allow it to continue to do the fine work it is doing? Ultimately, I believe all MPs inside this House want to see good work done on the whole pharmacare issue.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"5035162\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, je crois que ma coll\u00e8gue a pos\u00e9 une bonne question qui m\u00e9rite une meilleure r\u00e9ponse que celle qu'on a donn\u00e9e. Il faut admettre que la motion du NPD dont nous sommes saisis aujourd'hui repose sur le rapport du directeur parlementaire du budget. C'est le comit\u00e9 de la sant\u00e9 qui a demand\u00e9 ce rapport. Le comit\u00e9 tient des s\u00e9ances et il discute du programme d'assurance-m\u00e9dicaments. Il a demand\u00e9 au directeur parlementaire du budget de pr\u00e9senter un rapport. Le rapport n'a m\u00eame pas \u00e9t\u00e9 pr\u00e9sent\u00e9 au comit\u00e9 de la sant\u00e9. Le comit\u00e9 a accompli un travail fantastique dans ce dossier. Or, un d\u00e9put\u00e9 du Nouveau Parti d\u00e9mocratique r\u00e9cup\u00e8re maintenant le rapport en d\u00e9clarant: \u00ab Nous voulons le rapport. Voil\u00e0 ce que nous voulons. \u00bb Pourquoi les n\u00e9o-d\u00e9mocrates ne prennent-ils pas les id\u00e9es qui sont \u00e9mises par le comit\u00e9 permanent et pourquoi ne lui permettent-ils pas de poursuivre l'excellent travail qu'il accomplit? Ultimement, je crois que tous les d\u00e9put\u00e9s souhaitent qu'on accomplisse du bon travail sur l'ensemble du dossier de l'assurance-m\u00e9dicaments.</p>"
