        "en": "<p data-HoCid=\"7345041\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, I want to begin by thanking the hon. member, not only for his advocacy but also for his donation of AEDs to his local police service.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7345042\" data-originallang=\"en\">According to Heart and Stroke, approximately 40,000 Canadians experience sudden cardiac arrest each year, and 80% of these occur outside of a hospital setting. This is one of the reasons all RCMP officers are required to be trained and recertified in CPR and first aid, including the use of AEDs. The RCMP is committed to our communities, with CPR, AED and first aid training included in the standard first aid curriculum, in which all members are required to recertify every three years. This represents a demonstrable enhancement of our public safety role as first responders.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7345043\" data-originallang=\"en\">The RCMP is aware that some police services equip police vehicles with AEDs.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7345044\" data-originallang=\"en\">I was also present when we studied Motion No. 124 at the public safety committee, looking at the hon. member for <a data-HoCid=\"278236\" href=\"/politicians/alain-rayes/\" title=\"Alain Rayes\">Richmond\u2014Arthabaska</a>'s private member's bill on the issue. AEDs increase the chances of survival by 75%.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7345045\" data-originallang=\"en\">At the time of our study, the Library of Parliament provided us with a 2014 report that the public safety committee had done on the economics of policing. Municipalities pay 60% of policing in Canada, and it takes up to 50% of their budgets. While I was doing some research on police forces in North America that have these devices in their cars, it appears that many of them got them through either donations or grants, much like the hon. member across the aisle did with his police service.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7345046\" data-originallang=\"en\">Currently, the RCMP provides contract policing services to all provinces and territories except Ontario and Quebec, as well as some 150 municipalities. These services are provided through the police services agreements, which see the costs for RCMP services shared by the provincial and municipal governments and the federal government.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7345047\" data-originallang=\"en\">In consultation with the RCMP, provinces, territories and municipalities establish the level of resources, budget and policing priorities in their respective jurisdictions. It is through these consultations and decisions by the government of local jurisdiction that the RCMP is allocated funding for the purchase of new equipment.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7345048\" data-originallang=\"en\">The financial impact of procuring AEDs for RCMP vehicles would also have to be completed in consultation with contract partners to determine the extent to which these devices could be deployed. Currently, AEDs have been approved for installation and used in select RCMP operational areas, including emergency medical response teams, some protective policing details, and in provinces where provincial policing standards require that AEDs be available.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7345049\" data-originallang=\"en\">Another important consideration that came up during our study of Motion No. 124 was that only 15% of Canadians live in communities that are serviced by the RCMP. Obviously, equipping RCMP vehicles would help, but it would not reach as many communities as we would like.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7345050\" data-originallang=\"en\">In equipping RCMP vehicles with AEDs, several operational rollout and financial considerations must be assessed, including consultations with our contract partners.</p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"7345041\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, je tiens tout d'abord \u00e0 remercier le d\u00e9put\u00e9 non seulement de ses efforts dans ce dossier, mais aussi de son don de DEA \u00e0 son service de police local.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7345042\" data-originallang=\"en\">Selon la Fondation des maladies du c\u0153ur et de l'AVC, environ 40 000 Canadiens sont victimes d'un arr\u00eat cardiaque soudain chaque ann\u00e9e, et 80 % de ces arr\u00eats surviennent \u00e0 l'ext\u00e9rieur d'un h\u00f4pital. C'est l'une des raisons pour lesquelles tous les agents de la GRC doivent suivre une formation en RCR et en secourisme, y compris l'utilisation des DEA, et garder leur certification \u00e0 jour. La GRC a pris un engagement \u00e0 l'\u00e9gard des collectivit\u00e9s. La formation en RCR, en DEA et en secourisme est incluse dans le programme standard de premiers soins et tous les membres sont tenus de renouveler leur certification tous les trois ans. Cela repr\u00e9sente une am\u00e9lioration tangible du r\u00f4le des premiers intervenants dans le maintien de la s\u00e9curit\u00e9 publique.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7345043\" data-originallang=\"en\">La GRC est consciente que certains services de police \u00e9quipent leurs v\u00e9hicules de DEA.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7345044\" data-originallang=\"en\">J'\u00e9tais \u00e9galement pr\u00e9sente lorsque le comit\u00e9 de la s\u00e9curit\u00e9 publique a \u00e9tudi\u00e9 la motion M\u2011124, l'initiative parlementaire du d\u00e9put\u00e9 de <a data-HoCid=\"278236\" href=\"/politicians/alain-rayes/\" title=\"Alain Rayes\">Richmond\u2014Arthabaska</a> sur le sujet. Les DEA augmentent le taux de survie de 75 %.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7345045\" data-originallang=\"en\">Au moment de notre \u00e9tude, la Biblioth\u00e8que du Parlement nous a fourni un rapport de 2014 r\u00e9dig\u00e9 par le comit\u00e9 de la s\u00e9curit\u00e9 publique au sujet des param\u00e8tres \u00e9conomiques des services de police. Les municipalit\u00e9s paient 60 % des services de police au Canada, et ce poste prend jusqu'\u00e0 50 % de leur budget. En faisant des recherches sur les forces de police en Am\u00e9rique du Nord dont les voitures sont munies de ces dispositifs, je me suis rendu compte que beaucoup d'entre elles les ont obtenus gr\u00e2ce \u00e0 des dons ou \u00e0 des subventions, un peu comme le service de police du d\u00e9put\u00e9 d'en face.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7345046\" data-originallang=\"en\">\u00c0 l'heure actuelle, la GRC fournit des services de police contractuels \u00e0 l'ensemble des provinces et territoires, \u00e0 l'exception de l'Ontario et du Qu\u00e9bec, ainsi qu'\u00e0 quelque 150 municipalit\u00e9s. Ces services sont fournis dans le cadre des accords sur les services de police, en vertu desquels les co\u00fbts des services de la GRC sont partag\u00e9s entre les gouvernements provinciaux, les municipalit\u00e9s et le gouvernement f\u00e9d\u00e9ral.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7345047\" data-originallang=\"en\">En consultation avec la GRC, les provinces, les territoires et les municipalit\u00e9s \u00e9tablissent le niveau de ressources, le budget et les priorit\u00e9s en mati\u00e8re de services de police dans leurs territoires respectifs. C'est gr\u00e2ce \u00e0 ces consultations et aux d\u00e9cisions du gouvernement local que la GRC re\u00e7oit des fonds pour l'achat de nouvel \u00e9quipement.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7345048\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Il faudrait aussi d\u00e9terminer, en consultation avec nos partenaires contractuels, l'incidence financi\u00e8re li\u00e9e \u00e0 l'ajout de DEA dans les v\u00e9hicules de la GRC afin de d\u00e9terminer l'\u00e9tendue du d\u00e9ploiement de ces appareils. En ce moment, l'installation et l'utilisation de DEA ont \u00e9t\u00e9 approuv\u00e9es dans certains secteurs op\u00e9rationnels de la GRC et pour certaines \u00e9quipes de secours m\u00e9dical d'urgence, certaines \u00e9quipes de protection rapproch\u00e9e, ainsi que dans les provinces o\u00f9 les normes relatives aux services de police exigent la pr\u00e9sence de DEA.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7345049\" data-originallang=\"en\">Un autre point important a \u00e9t\u00e9 soulev\u00e9 pendant notre \u00e9tude de la motion M\u2011124: seulement 15 % des Canadiens vivent dans des collectivit\u00e9s desservies par la GRC. Il serait manifestement utile d'\u00e9quiper les v\u00e9hicules de la GRC, mais cela ne permettrait pas de rejoindre autant de collectivit\u00e9s qu'on le souhaiterait. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7345050\" data-originallang=\"en\">Avant d'installer des DEA dans les v\u00e9hicules de la GRC, il faut tenir compte de divers facteurs financiers et de d\u00e9ploiement op\u00e9rationnel, ce qui inclut des consultations avec nos partenaires contractuels. </p>"
