"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"6940263\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madam Speaker, if the Bloc members are nothing else, they are consistent in regard to the health care issue.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6940264\" data-originallang=\"en\">The Government of Canada is not an ATM that just distributes money. We have the Canada Health Act, and Canadians from all regions of the country recognize that the national government has an important role to play in health care. Whether the Bloc members agree or disagree, quite frankly, is irrelevant. We are here to support a healthy health care system where we can, looking, for example, at long-term care and at issues around mental health. These are important issues to people, no matter where they are in Canada.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6940265\" data-originallang=\"en\">Why is my friend teaming up, once again, in that coalition with the Conservatives and the Bloc to try to get things done here in the House? I am glad she is supporting the bill, but why does she not support the actual motion to see it come to a conclusion today?</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"6940263\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madame la Pr\u00e9sidente, si les d\u00e9put\u00e9s du Bloc ne sont qu\u2019une chose, c\u2019est bien d\u2019\u00eatre coh\u00e9rents dans le dossier de la sant\u00e9.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6940264\" data-originallang=\"en\">Le gouvernement du Canada n\u2019est pas un guichet automatique qui ne fait que distribuer de l\u2019argent. Nous avons la Loi canadienne sur la sant\u00e9, et les Canadiens de toutes les r\u00e9gions reconnaissent que le gouvernement national doit jouer un r\u00f4le pr\u00e9pond\u00e9rant dans le secteur de la sant\u00e9. Il importe peu que les d\u00e9put\u00e9s du Bloc soient d\u2019accord ou non. Nous sommes ici pour soutenir un syst\u00e8me de sant\u00e9 solide o\u00f9 nous le pouvons, en tenant compte, par exemple, des soins de longue dur\u00e9e et des probl\u00e8mes de sant\u00e9 mentale. Ce sont des questions importantes pour les gens, peu importe o\u00f9 ils se trouvent au Canada.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6940265\" data-originallang=\"en\">Pourquoi ma coll\u00e8gue fait-elle \u00e9quipe, encore une fois, avec les conservateurs et les bloquistes pour essayer de faire avancer les choses ici, \u00e0 la Chambre? Je suis heureux qu\u2019elle appuie le projet de loi, mais pourquoi n\u2019appuie-t-elle pas la motion pour qu\u2019elle soit adopt\u00e9e aujourd\u2019hui?</p>"
