"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"5952326\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madam Speaker, I am very thankful for my colleague's support. Right now the Government of Canada is making investments in research, prevention and early detection of diabetes. We have taken good steps already in improving nutrition labelling and banning industrial trans fat. That is a big step we have already taken, but there is always a need to do more.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5952327\" data-originallang=\"en\">We heard from witnesses at the health committee that 22% of people are not getting their prescription medications, which are absolutely necessary for diabetes. Untreated diabetes leads to serious consequences and even life-threatening situations. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5952328\" data-originallang=\"en\">As the member knows, the prescriptions that are needed are covered in some provinces and not in others. We give 11 recommendations at the health committee, and that is why this motion is for awareness and education. I urge my colleague to work together with me to combat this serious issue.</p>",

Le gouvernement du Canada investit dans la recherche, la pr\u00e9vention et le d\u00e9pistage pr\u00e9coce du diab\u00e8te. Nous avons d\u00e9j\u00e0 pris des mesures efficaces pour am\u00e9liorer l'\u00e9tiquetage des aliments et pour interdire les gras trans industriels. Nous avons donc d\u00e9j\u00e0 fait des progr\u00e8s, mais il reste encore du pain sur la planche. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5952327\" data-originallang=\"en\">Des t\u00e9moins ont appris au comit\u00e9 de la sant\u00e9 que 22 % des gens ne prennent pas les m\u00e9dicaments sur ordonnance qui sont absolument n\u00e9cessaires aux diab\u00e9tiques. Les cons\u00e9quences du diab\u00e8te non trait\u00e9es sont graves et parfois mortelles. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5952328\" data-originallang=\"en\">Comme le d\u00e9put\u00e9 le sait, les m\u00e9dicaments sur ordonnance n\u00e9cessaires sont couverts dans certaines provinces seulement. Le comit\u00e9 de la sant\u00e9 a formul\u00e9 11 recommandations. C'est pourquoi nous pr\u00e9sentons cette motion, qui vise la sensibilisation et l'\u00e9ducation. J'invite mon coll\u00e8gue \u00e0 collaborer avec moi afin de r\u00e9gler ce grave probl\u00e8me.</p>"
