However, it is not true that, by legalizing it, those numbers will drop. With regards to what the doctor she met with said, I can tell her of a bunch more specialists who are extremely worried about the message that we are sending to young people by legalizing drugs. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5118212\" data-originallang=\"fr\"> It is unbelievable that this government has made this a priority. If it put the same energy into rolling out programs to make young people aware of healthy lifestyle, consumption rates would drop right away.</p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"5118211\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Madame la Pr\u00e9sidente, ma r\u00e9ponse est simple. Pr\u00e9sentement, oui, nous savons tous que des jeunes consomment du cannabis. Toutefois, ce n'est pas vrai que, en le l\u00e9galisant, il y en aura moins. Au sujet de ce qu'a dit le docteur qu'elle a rencontr\u00e9, je peux lui parler d'un paquet d'autres sp\u00e9cialistes qui sont extr\u00eamement inquiets du message qu'on envoie aux jeunes en l\u00e9galisant la drogue.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5118212\" data-originallang=\"fr\"> C'est incroyable que ce gouvernement en ait fait une priorit\u00e9. S'il mettait la m\u00eame \u00e9nergie \u00e0 mettre en place des programmes pour sensibiliser les jeunes aux saines habitudes de vie, on verrait automatiquement la consommation baisser.</p>"
