"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"5796030\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, I am honoured to present a petition, signed by over 500 residents of Canada from western Canada, Ontario, Quebec and the Maritimes. These petitioners are pointing out to Parliament that the Liberal government has established a prison needle exchange program that will be implemented across Canada. The Union of Canadian Correctional Officers was not consulted on this plan, which puts its members and the Canadian public at risk. Our previous Conservative government passed the Drug-Free Prisons Act, which revokes parole for those who are caught using drugs behind bars. Under the new regulations, an inmate who is approved for the prison needle exchange program is not required to disclose this fact to the Parole Board. Therefore, the petitioners are calling on the <a data-HoCid=\"214296\" href=\"/politicians/justin-trudeau/\" title=\"Justin Trudeau\">Prime Minister</a> and the <a data-HoCid=\"214300\" href=\"/politicians/ralph-goodale/\" title=\"Ralph Goodale\">Minister of Public Safety</a> to end the prison needle exchange program and to implement measures that would increase the safety of correctional officers and our surrounding communities.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"5796030\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, j'ai l'honneur de pr\u00e9senter une p\u00e9tition sign\u00e9e par plus de 500 r\u00e9sidants de l'Ouest canadien, de l'Ontario, du Qu\u00e9bec et des Maritimes. Les p\u00e9titionnaires indiquent au Parlement que le gouvernement lib\u00e9ral a cr\u00e9\u00e9 un programme d'\u00e9change de seringues en prison qui sera mis en oeuvre \u00e0 l'\u00e9chelle du pays. Le Syndicat des agents correctionnels du Canada n'a pas \u00e9t\u00e9 consult\u00e9 \u00e0 propos de ce plan, ce qui met ses membres et la population canadienne en danger. Le gouvernement conservateur pr\u00e9c\u00e9dent avait adopt\u00e9 la Loi concernant l'\u00e9radication des drogues dans les prisons, qui pr\u00e9voit l'annulation de l'octroi d'une lib\u00e9ration conditionnelle aux d\u00e9linquants qui sont pris \u00e0 consommer de la drogue avant leur mise en libert\u00e9. Selon le nouveau r\u00e8glement, un d\u00e9tenu qui b\u00e9n\u00e9ficie du programme d'\u00e9change de seringues en prison n'est pas oblig\u00e9 de communiquer cette information \u00e0 la commission des lib\u00e9rations conditionnelles. Les p\u00e9titionnaires demandent donc au <a data-HoCid=\"214296\" href=\"/politicians/justin-trudeau/\" title=\"Justin Trudeau\">premier ministre</a> et au <a data-HoCid=\"214300\" href=\"/politicians/ralph-goodale/\" title=\"Ralph Goodale\">ministre de la S\u00e9curit\u00e9 publique</a> de mettre fin au programme d'\u00e9change de seringues en prison et d'instaurer des mesures pour accro\u00eetre la s\u00e9curit\u00e9 des agents correctionnels et des collectivit\u00e9s. </p>"
