"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"4918169\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Madam Speaker, I would like to thank my colleague for her speech. Caution is definitely needed here. It seems to me that this government is obsessed with this promise to legalize cannabis. This is having a domino effect on health and safety.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4918170\" data-originallang=\"fr\">For some time now, officials have been having a hard time assessing the potential dangers and problems associated with drug-impaired driving. It is much more complicated than measuring blood alcohol concentration, with a legal limit of 0.08%.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4918171\" data-originallang=\"fr\">The framework here is very flimsy, as though it were made of papier m\u00e2ch\u00e9. I remember something a librarian told me when I was little. I was told not to return books to the shelf just anywhere, but rather to leave them on the table, because books returned to the wrong shelf can never be found again.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4918172\" data-originallang=\"fr\">The Liberals are improvising when it comes to important safety standards and they are going to create a nice little framework. I would like to hear my colleague's thoughts on that. The Liberals have introduced a botched bill and are telling us to simply trust them, as usual, because they are royalty and they know better.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"4918169\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Madame la Pr\u00e9sidente, je voudrais remercier mon coll\u00e8gue de son discours. Effectivement, la prudence est de mise, ici. J'ai l'impression que le gouvernement s'est entich\u00e9 de cette promesse de l\u00e9galiser le cannabis. Cela cr\u00e9e une cascade d'incidences sur la s\u00e9curit\u00e9 et la sant\u00e9.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4918170\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Ce n'est pas d'hier qu'on a de la mis\u00e8re \u00e0 \u00e9valuer les dangers potentiels et les probl\u00e8mes li\u00e9s \u00e0 la consommation de drogue au volant. C'est bien moins simple que de mesurer le taux d'alcool\u00e9mie, dont le seuil l\u00e9gal est de 0,08 %.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4918171\" data-originallang=\"fr\"> Aujourd'hui, on se lance dans un cadre tr\u00e8s flou qui semble \u00eatre fait de papier m\u00e2ch\u00e9. Je me souviens de ce que m'avait dit une biblioth\u00e9caire quand j'\u00e9tais petit: il ne faut pas classer les livres n'importe o\u00f9, il faut les laisser sur les tables, car il n'y a rien de plus perdu qu'un livre mal class\u00e9.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4918172\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Eh bien, ici, on improvise des normes de s\u00e9curit\u00e9 importantes et on va faire un beau petit cadre. J'aimerais entendre mon coll\u00e8gue \u00e0 cet \u00e9gard. Les lib\u00e9raux nous pr\u00e9sentent une l\u00e9gislation b\u00e2cl\u00e9e et nous disent, comme d'habitude, de leur faire confiance puisqu'ils ont le sang royal et la science infuse.</p>"
