"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"6741326\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, experts tell us that 30% more people will die if we do not act. Experts tell us that the cost of the extended pandemic could top $4 trillion if we do not act. The government will have to bear the burden of history remembering what its decision was. For the Liberals to say that they have not been able to make a decision, that they cannot make a decision, is irresponsible and incorrect. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6741327\" data-originallang=\"en\">I am going to ask the member one more time. Will Canada add its name to the hundreds of countries that have already supported the TRIPS waiver, yes or no? Will the minister and will the member support the TRIPS waiver? It is really easy; it is yes or no.</p>",

Les experts nous disent que le co\u00fbt de la pand\u00e9mie prolong\u00e9e pourrait d\u00e9passer 4 billions de dollars si nous n\u2019agissons pas. Le gouvernement devra supporter le fardeau de l\u2019histoire qui se souviendra de sa d\u00e9cision. Il est irresponsable et incorrect pour les lib\u00e9raux de dire qu\u2019ils n\u2019ont pas \u00e9t\u00e9 en mesure de prendre une d\u00e9cision, qu\u2019ils ne peuvent pas prendre de d\u00e9cision.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6741327\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je vais poser la question \u00e0 la d\u00e9put\u00e9e encore une fois. Le Canada ajoutera-t-il son nom aux centaines de pays qui ont d\u00e9j\u00e0 appuy\u00e9 la d\u00e9rogation aux ADPIC, oui ou non? Le ministre et la d\u00e9put\u00e9e vont-ils appuyer la d\u00e9rogation aux ADPIC? C\u2019est tr\u00e8s facile; c\u2019est oui ou non.</p>"
