"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"4920156\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, I have two quick questions for the Minister of Justice. She indicated that this whole bill is based on evidence-based policies. She said that is the policy of her government. She must be aware of the fact that the Canadian Medical Association has already come out with its stand on this, which is that the use of cannabis has significant psychological impacts on brain development until the age of 25. In addition, the Canadian Pediatric Society considers that young people using marijuana, up to age 25, are jeopardizing their brain health. If it is evidence-based policy, would she not agree that this is completely inconsistent with that?</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4920157\" data-originallang=\"en\">She mentioned on at least six occasions during her speech that the Liberals were very interested in protecting youth. Is there any easier way for young people to get marijuana than if their parents have four plants in the kitchen? Is there any easier way for them to have access than that? </p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"4920156\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, j\u2019ai deux petites questions \u00e0 poser \u00e0 la ministre de la Justice. Elle a dit que le projet de loi \u00e9tait fond\u00e9 sur des donn\u00e9es probantes, que c\u2019\u00e9tait la politique de son gouvernement. Elle n\u2019ignore pourtant pas que l\u2019Association m\u00e9dicale canadienne s\u2019est d\u00e9j\u00e0 prononc\u00e9e l\u00e0-dessus en disant que la consommation de cannabis avait un impact psychologique important sur le d\u00e9veloppement du cerveau, et ce, jusqu\u2019\u00e0 l\u2019\u00e2ge de 25 ans. De plus, la Soci\u00e9t\u00e9 canadienne de p\u00e9diatrie estime que, jusqu\u2019\u00e0 25 ans, les jeunes qui consomment de la marijuana compromettent la sant\u00e9 de leur cerveau. Si son projet de loi est fond\u00e9 sur des donn\u00e9es probantes, est-elle pr\u00eate \u00e0 reconna\u00eetre avec moi qu\u2019il va \u00e0 l\u2019encontre des d\u00e9clarations de ces deux associations?</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4920157\" data-originallang=\"en\">Elle a dit au moins \u00e0 six occasions, au cours de son discours, que les lib\u00e9raux avaient le souci de prot\u00e9ger nos jeunes. Quoi de plus facile pour un jeune qui veut se procurer de la marijuana que de se servir parmi les quatre plants que ses parents cultivent dans la cuisine? Peut-on imaginer un moyen plus facile? </p>"
