However, on the issue of growing indoors versus outdoors, I would have significant concerns about the growing of marijuana in an environment where it could not be secured from relatively easy access by minors, potentially by thieves or even children who are part of the same family.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5242349\" data-originallang=\"en\">Attention needs to be paid to this aspect of home grow. Frankly, I think it would have been more responsible for the government to not allow\u2014well, I do not support the bill in general, but it would have been more responsible for it to not allow home grow, recognizing the risk that even with growing it indoors, the chances of children living in that house or other people being able to access it who should not be accessing it increases exponentially. That is particularly true for growing it outdoors. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5242350\" data-originallang=\"en\">I take the member's points about the impact on the environment, but maybe that is a reason not to grow marijuana at all.</p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"5242348\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, je n\u2019ai pas une grande exp\u00e9rience en mati\u00e8re de jardinage, et certes pas avec ce produit. Quant \u00e0 savoir s\u2019il est pr\u00e9f\u00e9rable de le cultiver \u00e0 l\u2019int\u00e9rieur ou \u00e0 l\u2019ext\u00e9rieur, je serais grandement pr\u00e9occup\u00e9 si la marijuana \u00e9tait cultiv\u00e9e dans un environnement non s\u00e9curis\u00e9 auquel pourraient facilement avoir acc\u00e8s des mineurs, voire des voleurs, ou m\u00eame les enfants de la famille productrice.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5242349\" data-originallang=\"en\"> La culture \u00e0 domicile requiert une attention particuli\u00e8re. En toute franchise, je pense que le gouvernement aurait agi de mani\u00e8re plus responsable en n\u2019autorisant pas \u2014 il est vrai que, de mani\u00e8re g\u00e9n\u00e9rale, je ne suis pas pour ce projet de loi \u2014 la culture \u00e0 domicile pour le motif que, m\u00eame si la marijuana est cultiv\u00e9e \u00e0 l\u2019int\u00e9rieur, le risque que des enfants de la famille ou d\u2019autres personnes qui ne devraient pas y avoir acc\u00e8s y aient acc\u00e8s augmente de fa\u00e7on exponentielle. C'est particuli\u00e8rement vrai pour la culture \u00e0 l\u2019ext\u00e9rieur. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5242350\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Je prends note de l\u2019argument de la d\u00e9put\u00e9e au sujet de l\u2019impact sur l\u2019environnement. C\u2019est peut \u00eatre l\u00e0 une raison justifiant l\u2019interdiction compl\u00e8te de la culture de la marijuana.</p>"
