"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"8361663\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, I also know that my colleague was an esteemed police officer. We heard from the B.C. chiefs of police and chiefs of police across this country. When it comes to the toxic drug crisis, the chiefs of police see it as a health issue. They do not want to go back to criminalizing people in my home province; however, they have asked for tools to deal with public use. They cited that it is not diversion, but actually toxic fentanyl, that is killing people. They have called for more safe consumption sites. In Alberta, deaths have skyrocketed, with a 17% increase in toxic overdose deaths. There has been an increase of over 5% in British Columbia.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8361664\" data-originallang=\"en\">We had Petra Schulz from Moms Stop the Harm here in Ottawa yesterday, again asking for a meeting with the<a data-HoCid=\"291215\" href=\"/politicians/pierre-poilievre/\" title=\"Pierre Poilievre\"> leader of the Conservative Party</a>. She lost her son Danny 10 years ago today. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8361665\" data-originallang=\"en\">Will my colleague urge his <a data-HoCid=\"291215\" href=\"/politicians/pierre-poilievre/\" title=\"Pierre Poilievre\">leader</a>, the only leader in this country who has not met with Moms Stop the Harm, to meet with the mothers of loved ones lost because of the toxic drug crisis? Does he support the chiefs of police in British Columbia?</p>",

Nous avons entendu les chefs de police de la Colombie-Britannique et de tout le pays. En ce qui concerne la crise engendr\u00e9e par les drogues toxiques, les chefs de police la consid\u00e8rent comme une question de sant\u00e9. Ils ne veulent pas revenir \u00e0 la criminalisation des personnes dans ma province; cependant, ils ont demand\u00e9 des outils pour faire face \u00e0 la consommation en public. Selon eux, ce n\u2019est pas la d\u00e9judiciarisation, mais bien le fentanyl toxique qui tue les gens. Ils ont r\u00e9clam\u00e9 davantage de centres de consommation supervis\u00e9e. En Alberta, le nombre de d\u00e9c\u00e8s est mont\u00e9 en fl\u00e8che, avec une augmentation de 17 % des d\u00e9c\u00e8s par surdose. En Colombie-Britannique, l\u2019augmentation est de plus de 5 %.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8361664\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Petra Schulz, de l\u2019organisation Moms Stop the Harm, est venue hier \u00e0 Ottawa pour demander une fois de plus de rencontrer le <a data-HoCid=\"291215\" href=\"/politicians/pierre-poilievre/\" title=\"Pierre Poilievre\">chef du Parti conservateur</a>.
