"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"6066543\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, as the Minister of Health, part of my job is to improve access to health care across Canada. It certainly would not be in my mandate letter to improve this if we thought that everything was perfect.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6066544\" data-originallang=\"en\">We know that work is under way with the provinces and territories. I mentioned the $10-billion investment that happened a couple of years ago. Obviously, access to primary care and improving supports for addiction and treatment in communities are the kinds of things the <a data-HoCid=\"214296\" href=\"/politicians/justin-trudeau/\" title=\"Justin Trudeau\">Prime Minister</a> has asked me to do in my mandate. We also know that Canadians want autonomy at the time of their death, so there is an important balance we have to strike.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6066545\" data-originallang=\"en\">We have to make sure that we continue to work on ensuring that Canadians have equal access to services all across the country. The legislation says that people need to be made aware of services available to them in their communities so that they are fully aware that the choice they are making truly reflects their own particular circumstances.</p>",

Cette directive ne se trouverait certainement pas dans ma lettre de mandat si nous pensions que tout est parfait.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6066544\" data-originallang=\"en\">Nous savons que des travaux sont en cours avec les provinces et les territoires. J\u2019ai mentionn\u00e9 la somme de 10 milliards de dollars investie il y a deux ou trois ans. De toute \u00e9vidence, dans le cadre de mon mandat, le <a data-HoCid=\"214296\" href=\"/politicians/justin-trudeau/\" title=\"Justin Trudeau\">premier ministre</a> m\u2019a demand\u00e9 d\u2019am\u00e9liorer l\u2019acc\u00e8s aux soins primaires et les mesures de soutien au traitement de la toxicomanie dans les collectivit\u00e9s. Nous savons aussi que les Canadiens veulent de l\u2019autonomie pour d\u00e9cider du moment de leur mort, alors il y a un \u00e9quilibre important \u00e0 \u00e9tablir.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6066545\" data-originallang=\"en\">Nous devons continuer de veiller \u00e0 ce que les Canadiens aient un acc\u00e8s \u00e9gal aux services partout au pays. La loi exige que les gens soient inform\u00e9s des services qui leur sont offerts dans leur collectivit\u00e9 afin de faire les choix qui correspondent \u00e0 leur situation personnelle.</p>"
