"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"6644512\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madam Speaker, a pandemic that has taken more lives than COVID is ravaging British Columbia. I speak of the opioid crisis. More than 1,700 people have died from opioids. In Maple Ridge alone, 500 have overdosed.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6644513\" data-originallang=\"en\">Keeping people alive is critical, but helping them get a new life is so much better. That is what recovery is all about. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6644514\" data-originallang=\"en\">Despite a lack of federal leadership, there are still some excellent supports in my riding of Pitt Meadows\u2014Maple Ridge. InnerVisions has two facilities. Hannah House for women and Miller House for men have combined 80 beds. Hope for Freedom is seeing great results at its lodge. The Salvation Army has an excellent Genesis recovery program.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6644515\" data-originallang=\"en\">I want to recognize the staff and hard work being done at the Maple Ridge Treatment Centre. The One Way Club and Celebrate Recovery also help those struggling with addictions.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6644516\" data-originallang=\"en\">These organizations are mainly non-profits that need our support as they provide life-changing support for so many.</p>",

Plus de 1 700 personnes y sont mortes \u00e0 cause des opio\u00efdes. \u00c0 Maple Ridge seulement, 500 personnes ont succomb\u00e9 \u00e0 des surdoses. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6644513\" data-originallang=\"en\">Garder les gens en vie est essentiel, mais les aider \u00e0 commencer une nouvelle vie est tellement mieux. C'est de gu\u00e9rison qu'il s'agit.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6644514\" data-originallang=\"en\">En d\u00e9pit du manque de leadership f\u00e9d\u00e9ral, il y a encore d'excellentes ressources dans ma circonscription, Pitt Meadows-Maple Ridge. InnerVisions poss\u00e8de deux \u00e9tablissements, Hannah House pour les femmes et Miller House pour les hommes, qui offrent 80 lits \u00e0 eux deux. L'organisation Hope for Freedom obtient des r\u00e9sultats remarquables. L'Arm\u00e9e du Salut a un excellent programme de r\u00e9adaptation, Genesis.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6644515\" data-originallang=\"en\">J'aimerais rendre hommage au personnel du centre de traitement de Maple Ridge et \u00e0 son travail acharn\u00e9. Les organisations The One Way Club et Celebrate Recovery sont aussi l\u00e0 pour aider les personnes aux prises avec des d\u00e9pendances.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6644516\" data-originallang=\"en\">Ces organisations \u00e0 but non lucratif, essentiellement, ont besoin de notre aide, car elles contribuent \u00e0 changer la vie de tant de personnes.</p>"
