"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"4876276\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, I am not sure I agree with the premise of the member's question.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4876277\" data-originallang=\"en\"> It is my reading of the amendment that this would require a minimum 40-day consultation period and a maximum 90 days. There is nothing discretionary about it and that is why concern is coming from the community and from this side of the House. It may well be that a consultation period may take 45, 50, or 60 days. That may be necessary in certain circumstances. However, equally true, we may need to expedite the opening of a supervised consumption site quicker than 45 days.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4876278\" data-originallang=\"en\">The New Democrats will not agree to any amendment that would tie the hands of the <a data-HoCid=\"214328\" href=\"/politicians/jane-philpott/\" title=\"Jane Philpott\">Minister of Health</a>, particularly in an emergency situation, with an arbitrary number of a minimum of 45 days. That is why we will oppose it. I would encourage the member and his colleagues to do the same.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"4876276\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, je ne suis pas certain d'\u00eatre d'accord sur la pr\u00e9misse de la question du d\u00e9put\u00e9.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4876277\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je comprends, de ma lecture de l'amendement, qu'il faudrait une p\u00e9riode de consultation d'au moins 40 jours et d'au plus 90 jours. Il n'y a rien de discr\u00e9tionnaire l\u00e0-dedans et c'est la raison pour laquelle certains citoyens et certains d\u00e9put\u00e9s de ce c\u00f4t\u00e9-ci de la Chambre s'inqui\u00e8tent. Une consultation pourrait fort bien durer 45, 50 ou 60 jours. Cela sera parfois n\u00e9cessaire. Toutefois, il est aussi vrai que nous pourrions devoir acc\u00e9l\u00e9rer l'ouverture d'un centre de consommation supervis\u00e9e et y proc\u00e9der en moins de 45 jours.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4876278\" data-originallang=\"en\">Les n\u00e9o-d\u00e9mocrates n'accepteront aucun amendement qui lierait les mains de la <a data-HoCid=\"214328\" href=\"/politicians/jane-philpott/\" title=\"Jane Philpott\">ministre de la Sant\u00e9</a>, surtout dans une situation d'urgence, la for\u00e7ant \u00e0 respecter la p\u00e9riode minimale arbitraire de 45 jours. C'est la raison pour laquelle nous nous y opposons. J'invite le d\u00e9put\u00e9 et ses coll\u00e8gues \u00e0 en faire autant.</p>"
