        "en": "<p data-HoCid=\"7256265\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madam Speaker, once again, there is the problem. The issue is actually the mental state of our society, and instead of addressing the mental state of our society, what are the Liberals doing? They are trying to ban legal handguns, which is going to do nothing to help society.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7256266\" data-originallang=\"en\">In order to make a better society, we need to make sure we improve the quality of people's lives, and mental health is a big issue. The government did promise during its own election a few months ago that it was going to invest more in mental health. Unfortunately, it did not follow through on its own commitments, as is usual with the Liberal government.</p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"7256265\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madame la Pr\u00e9sidente, encore une fois, le probl\u00e8me, il est l\u00e0. Le probl\u00e8me, c\u2019est l\u2019\u00e9tat mental de notre soci\u00e9t\u00e9. Or, au lieu de s\u2019int\u00e9resser \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e9tat mental de notre soci\u00e9t\u00e9, que font les lib\u00e9raux? Ils essaient d\u2019interdire les armes de poing l\u00e9gales, ce qui n\u2019aidera en rien la soci\u00e9t\u00e9.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7256266\" data-originallang=\"en\">Pour b\u00e2tir une meilleure soci\u00e9t\u00e9, il faut am\u00e9liorer la qualit\u00e9 de vie des habitants. Or, la sant\u00e9 mentale est un enjeu important. Lors de la campagne \u00e9lectorale qui l\u2019a port\u00e9 au pouvoir, il y a quelques mois, le gouvernement lib\u00e9ral a promis d\u2019investir davantage dans la sant\u00e9 mentale. Malheureusement, fid\u00e8le \u00e0 son habitude, il n\u2019a pas donn\u00e9 suite \u00e0 ses propres engagements.</p>"
