"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"5310517\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, I rise on behalf of a number of people in my riding who are very concerned about hospice palliative care. They believe it improves the quality of life of patients and their families facing the problems associated with life-threatening illness. Palliative care provides relief from pain and other distressing symptoms, and affirms life regarding dying as a normal process that intends to neither hasten nor postpone death.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5310518\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Unfortunately, it is not specifically mentioned in the Canada Health Act, and it is not accessible and available to all Canadians. Therefore, petitioners are calling on the government to specifically identify hospice palliative care as a defined medical service covered by the Canada Health Act, so that provincial and territorial governments would be entitled to funds under the Canada health transfer system to be used to provide accessible and available hospice palliative care for all residents of Canada in their respective provinces and territories. </p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"5310517\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, je prends la parole au nom d'un grand nombre de personnes de ma circonscription qui sont tr\u00e8s soucieuses des soins palliatifs en \u00e9tablissement. Elles estiment qu'ils am\u00e9liorent la qualit\u00e9 de vie des patients et de leur famille qui doivent vivre avec les difficult\u00e9s li\u00e9es aux maladies mortelles. Les soins palliatifs procurent un soulagement de la douleur et d'autres sympt\u00f4mes p\u00e9nibles, reconnaissent la valeur de la vie, consid\u00e8rent la mort comme un processus normal et ne cherchent ni \u00e0 devancer ni \u00e0 retarder la mort. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5310518\" data-originallang=\"en\">Malheureusement, les soins palliatifs ne sont pas express\u00e9ment mentionn\u00e9s dans la Loi canadienne sur la sant\u00e9 et ils ne sont pas accessibles ou disponibles pour tous les Canadiens. Ainsi, les p\u00e9titionnaires demandent au gouvernement de d\u00e9signer express\u00e9ment les soins palliatifs en \u00e9tablissement comme des soins m\u00e9dicaux d\u00e9finis couverts par la Loi canadienne sur la sant\u00e9 afin que les gouvernements provinciaux et territoriaux aient droit \u00e0 un financement pr\u00e9vu par le Transfert canadien en mati\u00e8re de sant\u00e9, qui permettra de rendre les soins palliatifs accessibles et disponibles \u00e0 tous les Canadiens dans leur province ou territoire respectif.</p>"
