        "en": "<p data-HoCid=\"6384858\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Madam Speaker, I thank my hon. colleague from Joliette for the question.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6384859\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Unfortunately, that was not the case. I recently had some conversations with Ms. Hivon and she looks forward to seeing this file come to a close. She brought this legislation to Quebec City with a lot of heart and passion.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6384860\" data-originallang=\"fr\">I do not want to pass judgment, but it is too bad that here in the House certain religious beliefs have coloured the debate on medical assistance in dying and delayed passage of the bill. There was not the same unanimity in the House of Commons as there was in the National Assembly.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6384861\" data-originallang=\"fr\">It is a shame because this file should go beyond our political persuasions. This issue should be rooted in science and based on the advice of ethicists, doctors and experts. I think everyone has the right to choose freely how they will die, and that goes beyond beliefs. People who do not want to use medical assistance in dying can make that choice, and the bill allows for that. </p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"6384858\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Madame la Pr\u00e9sidente, je remercie mon honorable coll\u00e8gue de Joliette de sa question.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6384859\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Malheureusement, cela n'a pas \u00e9t\u00e9 le cas. J'ai eu des \u00e9changes derni\u00e8rement avec Mme Hivon, et elle a bien h\u00e2te de voir ce dossier aboutir. Elle a port\u00e9 ce projet de loi \u00e0 Qu\u00e9bec avec beaucoup de c\u0153ur et de passion.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6384860\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Je ne veux pas porter de jugement, mais, ce qui est dommage, c'est que, \u00e0 la Chambre, certaines croyances religieuses ont biais\u00e9 le d\u00e9bat sur l'aide m\u00e9dicale \u00e0 mourir et ont retard\u00e9 l'adoption de la Loi. Il n'y a donc pas eu la m\u00eame unanimit\u00e9 \u00e0 la Chambre des communes qu'\u00e0 l'Assembl\u00e9e nationale.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6384861\" data-originallang=\"fr\">On peut le d\u00e9plorer, parce que ce dossier devrait aller au-del\u00e0 de nos all\u00e9geances. Cette question doit \u00eatre bas\u00e9e sur la science et sur l'avis d'\u00e9thiciens, de m\u00e9decins et de sp\u00e9cialistes. Je pense que chacun a le droit de choisir librement la fa\u00e7on dont il va mourir et que cela va au-del\u00e0 des croyances. Les gens qui ne veulent pas avoir recours \u00e0 l'aide m\u00e9dicale \u00e0 mourir peuvent en faire le choix, et le projet de loi le permet \u00e9galement.</p>"
