"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"8359934\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, I am rising to present a petition that is of keen concern to residents of Saanich\u2014Gulf Islands. In fact, it is a petition that other petitioners within the riding have had me present to the government and to the Parliament assembly before. It is not an unfamiliar issue, I know, to members on all sides of the House. It is the crisis of the absence of family doctors, specifically in Saanich\u2014Gulf Islands. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8359935\" data-originallang=\"en\">Where 92% of physicians across Canada work in urban areas, areas such as Saanich\u2014Gulf Islands have 8% left to cover the needs of constituents. Within Victoria and Sidney, for example, the average wait time at a walk-in clinic is between 92 and 180 minutes. I certainly have experienced, recently, the absence of a family doctor and the impact it has had on my life. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8359936\" data-originallang=\"en\">The petitioners, specifically recognizing that this is not solely one jurisdiction's exclusive responsibility, call on the House of Commons and Parliament to work with the provinces and the territories to come to a holistic and fair solution to Canada's current family doctor shortage crisis.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"8359934\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, je prends la parole pour pr\u00e9senter une p\u00e9tition qui pr\u00e9occupe vivement les r\u00e9sidants de Saanich\u2014Gulf Islands. C'est d'ailleurs une p\u00e9tition que d'autres p\u00e9titionnaires de ma circonscription m'ont d\u00e9j\u00e0 demand\u00e9 de pr\u00e9senter au gouvernement et au Parlement. Je sais que tous les d\u00e9put\u00e9s sont au fait de ce probl\u00e8me. Il s'agit de la crise caus\u00e9e par le manque d'acc\u00e8s \u00e0 des m\u00e9decins de famille, en particulier dans Saanich\u2014Gulf Islands.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8359935\" data-originallang=\"en\">Alors que 92 % des m\u00e9decins au Canada travaillent dans des centres urbains, il reste 8 % des m\u00e9decins pour r\u00e9pondre aux besoins des r\u00e9sidants de r\u00e9gions comme Saanich\u2014Gulf Islands. \u00c0 Victoria et \u00e0 Sidney, par exemple, le temps d'attente moyen dans une clinique sans rendez-vous est de 92 \u00e0 180 minutes. J'ai moi-m\u00eame \u00e9t\u00e9 touch\u00e9e par cette p\u00e9nurie r\u00e9cemment et j'en ai subi les cons\u00e9quences.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8359936\" data-originallang=\"en\">\u00c9tant donn\u00e9 qu'il ne s'agit pas de la responsabilit\u00e9 exclusive d'une seule administration, les p\u00e9titionnaires demandent \u00e0 la Chambre des communes et au Parlement de collaborer avec les provinces et les territoires pour trouver une solution globale et \u00e9quitable \u00e0 cette p\u00e9nurie de m\u00e9decins de famille au Canada.</p>"
