"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"5331124\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to present a petition, in support of my private member's bill, Bill <a data-HoCid=\"8353293\" href=\"/bills/42-1/C-316/\" title=\"An Act to amend the Canada Revenue Agency Act (organ donors)\">C-316</a>, which was submitted by members of the National Capital Region Gift of Life Network.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5331125\" data-originallang=\"en\">Coincidentally, it is also tax season across Canada. The petitioners are calling on this House to improve Canada's organ donation system. This would be achieved by making the process to register as an organ donor easier by adding a simple question to our annual tax returns. With 4,700 Canadians awaiting life-saving transplants, imagine how many lives we could have saved if this were already in place for this tax season.</p>",

Elle nous vient de membres du R\u00e9seau Trillium pour le don de vie de la r\u00e9gion de la capitale nationale.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5331125\" data-originallang=\"en\">Incidemment, c'est aussi le temps des imp\u00f4ts, et les p\u00e9titionnaires demandent \u00e0 la Chambre d'am\u00e9liorer le r\u00e9gime canadien de dons d'organes en ajoutant simplement une question \u00e0 la d\u00e9claration de revenus que nous produisons chaque ann\u00e9e pour faciliter le processus d'inscription au registre des donneurs. Pas moins de 4 700 Canadiens attendent une transplantation qui pourrait leur sauver la vie, alors imaginons combien de vies nous pourrions sauver si cette mesure \u00e9tait d\u00e9j\u00e0 en vigueur cette ann\u00e9e.</p>"
