        "en": "<p data-HoCid=\"6380919\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank the hon. parliamentary secretary for his response. The belief that the private sector in a free market can do everything better than the government is a bankrupt idea. Connaught Labs was proof. It provided affordable medicines and vaccines that saved lives and made Canada a world leader in public health. The free market has brought us more expensive medicines and a focus on profit.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6380920\" data-originallang=\"en\">Canada needs a universal pharmacare system and a publicly owned model of medicine, development and production will make it affordable. Privatizing Connaught Labs put us farther behind in our fight against COVID-19. It is time to go back to a common-sense model that serves the common good.</p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"6380919\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, je remercie le secr\u00e9taire parlementaire de sa r\u00e9ponse. La croyance selon laquelle le secteur priv\u00e9 dans un libre march\u00e9 peut tout faire mieux que le gouvernement est d\u00e9nu\u00e9e de sens. Les laboratoires Connaught l'ont prouv\u00e9. Ils ont fourni des m\u00e9dicaments et des vaccins abordables qui ont sauv\u00e9 des vies et ont fait du Canada un chef de file en mati\u00e8re de sant\u00e9 publique. Le libre march\u00e9 nous apporte plus de m\u00e9dicaments co\u00fbteux et l'accent sur les profits. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6380920\" data-originallang=\"en\">Le Canada a besoin d'un r\u00e9gime universel d'assurance-m\u00e9dicaments et un mod\u00e8le public de conception et de production de m\u00e9dicaments le rendra abordable. La privatisation des laboratoires Connaught nous a fait prendre du retard dans notre lutte contre la COVID-19. Le moment est venu de revenir \u00e0 un mod\u00e8le fond\u00e9 sur le gros bon sens et qui sert le bien commun.</p>"
