The real culprits are those who supply drugs to our children through very sophisticated networks. Cannabis may be a soft drug and not as harmful as other drugs, but people start with that and then want stronger and stronger drugs, chemical drugs that create a dependancy.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4925531\" data-originallang=\"fr\">One child with an addiction is one too many. It affects the entire family: brothers, sisters, grandparents, cousins, and friends. It can result in suicide. There have been suicides in my riding; that is not something people tend to forget.</p>",

Les vrais coupables sont ceux qui fournissent de la drogue \u00e0 nos enfants au moyen de r\u00e9seaux tr\u00e8s sophistiqu\u00e9s. Le cannabis est peut-\u00eatre moins dur et moins dommageable que les autres drogues, mais on commence par cela, puis on veut des drogues de plus en plus fortes, des drogues chimiques qui causent les probl\u00e8mes de d\u00e9pendance qui s'ensuivent.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4925531\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Un enfant touch\u00e9, c'est un enfant de trop. Cela touche toute la famille, les fr\u00e8res, les soeurs, les grands-parents, les cousins et les amis. Cela peut mener \u00e0 des cas de suicide. Il y en a eu un dans ma circonscription, ce sont des choses qu'on n'oublie jamais.</p>"
