"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"8384489\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Madam Speaker, families and communities are continuing to suffer because of the toxic drug crisis. I have spoken to many mothers, fathers and friends who have lost loved ones. The Conservative rhetoric around this is not just harmful, but it will actually cost people their lives. To pretend that we have to choose between harm reduction and treatment when we are facing a national emergency is unconscionable.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8384490\" data-originallang=\"en\">Given that we are facing this national emergency, why has the Liberal Party not declared a national public health emergency on the toxic drug crisis and created a pan-Canadian response?</p>",

J'ai parl\u00e9 avec beaucoup de m\u00e8res, de p\u00e8res et d'amis qui ont perdu des proches. Non seulement les discours des conservateurs sur le sujet sont nuisibles, mais ils co\u00fbteront des vies. Il est inadmissible de pr\u00e9tendre qu'il faut choisir entre la r\u00e9duction des m\u00e9faits et les traitements, alors que nous faisons face \u00e0 une urgence nationale.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8384490\" data-originallang=\"en\"> \u00c9tant donn\u00e9 que nous faisons face \u00e0 cette urgence nationale, pourquoi le Parti lib\u00e9ral n'a-t-il pas d\u00e9clar\u00e9 une urgence nationale de sant\u00e9 publique au sujet de la crise des drogues toxiques et cr\u00e9\u00e9 de r\u00e9ponse pancanadienne?</p>"
