"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"5951975\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, the Liberals promised to lower Canada's sky-high drug prices by improving the Patented Medicine Prices Review Board but backed down after opposition from Donald Trump and the drug lobby. Then they signed a new NAFTA, which the Parliamentary Budget Officer said would cost Canadians billions more for medicine. Now the government is gutting a crucial World Health Assembly resolution aimed at reducing global drug prices. Why are the Liberals doing big pharma's bidding and failing to lower the cost of medications for all Canadians?</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"5951975\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, les lib\u00e9raux avaient promis de faire baisser les prix des m\u00e9dicaments, qui sont astronomiques, en am\u00e9liorant le Conseil d'examen du prix des m\u00e9dicaments brevet\u00e9s. Toutefois, ils ont abandonn\u00e9 cette id\u00e9e devant l'opposition de Donald Trump et du lobby pharmaceutique. Puis, ils ont sign\u00e9 le nouvel ALENA, qui, selon le directeur parlementaire du budget, fera augmenter les prix des m\u00e9dicaments au pays de plusieurs milliards de dollars. Le gouvernement est maintenant en train de vider de sa substance une r\u00e9solution cruciale de l'Assembl\u00e9e mondiale de la sant\u00e9, qui vise \u00e0 r\u00e9duire les prix des m\u00e9dicaments \u00e0 l'\u00e9chelle mondiale. Pourquoi les lib\u00e9raux font-ils les quatre volont\u00e9s des grandes soci\u00e9t\u00e9s pharmaceutiques et refusent-ils de faire baisser le co\u00fbt des m\u00e9dicaments pour tous les Canadiens?</p>"
