"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"5830112\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, I too rise today to table a couple of petitions from Canadians from coast to coast to coast who are concerned and asking for the Government of Canada to establish conscience protection for physicians in health care institutions. The petitioners state that coercion, intimidation and other forms of pressure intended to force physicians in health institutions to become parties in assisted suicide or euthanasia are a violation of the fundamental freedom of conscience. Therefore, they call upon the Parliament of Canada to enshrine in the Criminal Code the protection of conscience for physicians in health care institutions from coercion or intimidation to provide, or refer for, assisted suicide or euthanasia.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"5830112\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, je prends moi aussi la parole afin de d\u00e9poser quelques p\u00e9titions provenant de Canadiens d'un peu partout au pays qui sont inquiets et qui demandent au gouvernement f\u00e9d\u00e9ral d'\u00e9tablir des mesures de protection de la libert\u00e9 de conscience pour les m\u00e9decins et les \u00e9tablissements de soins de sant\u00e9. Les p\u00e9titionnaires affirment que la contrainte, l'intimidation ou d'autres moyens de pression ayant pour but d'obliger les m\u00e9decins dans les \u00e9tablissements de soins de sant\u00e9 \u00e0 prendre part \u00e0 l'aide m\u00e9dicale au suicide ou \u00e0 l'euthanasie constituent une atteinte \u00e0 la libert\u00e9 de conscience, un droit fondamental. Ils demandent donc au Parlement du Canada d'inscrire dans le Code criminel la protection de la libert\u00e9 de conscience des m\u00e9decins et des \u00e9tablissements de soins de sant\u00e9 contre la coercition et l'intimidation visant \u00e0 les obliger \u00e0 offrir l'aide m\u00e9dicale au suicide ou l'euthanasie, ou \u00e0 aiguiller un patient vers de tels services.</p>"
