"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"6066454\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, simply put, the record will show that the member's characterization of my remarks is not at all accurate.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6066455\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Let me just re-emphasize a point that I made. The very purpose of safeguards is to deal with the exceptional case. I agree that the vast majority of health care practitioners are not only well-intentioned, but also are not trying to push the envelope in any way. However, the data I cited suggests that in other jurisdictions we have seen how a relatively large number of problematic cases can emerge from the actions of perhaps also well-intentioned but definitely envelope-pushing physicians, who go beyond the intention of the legislature with respect to this bill. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6066456\" data-originallang=\"en\">The parliamentary secretary had some points that I wanted to get back to very quickly.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6066457\" data-originallang=\"en\"> It is true that the legislation excludes depression as a sole condition, but it does not exclude people who suffer from depression from accessing it. In a previous Parliament, the member for <a data-HoCid=\"252830\" href=\"/politicians/michael-cooper/\" title=\"Michael Cooper\">St. Albert\u2014Edmonton</a> tried to introduce an amendment, whereby if someone was suffering from depression as well as other conditions, there would at least be a psychiatric assessment\u2014</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"6066454\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, c'est simple, le compte rendu prouvera que l'interpr\u00e9tation que la d\u00e9put\u00e9e fait de mes remarques n'a rien \u00e0 voir avec la r\u00e9alit\u00e9. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6066455\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je me permets d'insister une nouvelle fois sur un point que j'ai soulev\u00e9. Les mesures de sauvegarde existent \u00e0 la base pour encadrer les cas exceptionnels. Je conviens que la grande majorit\u00e9 des professionnels de la sant\u00e9 non seulement sont bien intentionn\u00e9s, mais qu'en plus, ils ne cherchent en aucune mani\u00e8re \u00e0 repousser les limites de ce qui est permis. N\u00e9anmoins, les donn\u00e9es que j'ai cit\u00e9es tendent \u00e0 montrer que, dans d'autres pays, les actions de m\u00e9decins qui sont peut-\u00eatre aussi bien intentionn\u00e9s, mais qui repoussent certainement les limites au-del\u00e0 des objectifs fix\u00e9s par le Parlement dans le cas de ce projet de loi, peuvent donner lieu \u00e0 un nombre relativement grand de cas probl\u00e9matiques.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6066456\" data-originallang=\"en\">Le secr\u00e9taire parlementaire a dit un certain nombre de choses sur lesquelles je voudrais revenir bri\u00e8vement.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6066457\" data-originallang=\"en\">Il est vrai que le projet de loi exclut la d\u00e9pression comme seule condition, mais il n'interdit pas aux gens qui souffrent de d\u00e9pression d'avoir acc\u00e8s \u00e0 l'aide \u00e0 mourir. Dans une l\u00e9gislature ant\u00e9rieure, le d\u00e9put\u00e9 de <a data-HoCid=\"252830\" href=\"/politicians/michael-cooper/\" title=\"Michael Cooper\">St. Albert\u2014Edmonton</a> a essay\u00e9 de pr\u00e9senter un amendement pour que, lorsqu'une personne souffre non seulement de d\u00e9pression, mais aussi d'autres maux, il y ait au moins une \u00e9valuation psychiatrique...</p>"
